As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

    This program is the whole enchilada! It is certainly a value added program! Between the content, the assignments, the doctor sharing and the videos, Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson give you a complete package. My only regret is that I haven’t gotten to this work earlier.

    I am an experienced practitioner of 26 years; this program has changed my practice. I am no longer accepting new adult patients. My husband and I have decided to certify in not only pediatric SOT but in SOT as well. It has certainly set us on a new path!

    I use techniques from the course every single day! I have been using other chiropractic techniques and CST work for over 25 years but SOT is so much more precise and effective.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. Content, content, content! The weekly lessons combined with the Facebook group, doctor sharing, the assignments and the quick response to questions and emails really keeps you engaged and on task.

    I am a tactile person so I am looking forward to attending in person to get an understanding of your touch and approach.

    My three takeaways:
    1. Less is more. One of the greatest lessons I learned is that the body doesn’t need us to do more—it needs us to do what is necessary with precision and intention. A gentle, deliberate adjustment, delivered at the right time and in the right place, is often far more powerful than trying to achieve too much.
    2. Rapport and engagement are everything. With children, you may only have a split second to build trust. How you connect with them in that moment can determine the entire encounter. Meet them where they are, respect their experience, and use those precious moments wisely. Connection always precedes correction.
    3. Present-time consciousness is essential. The more present you are, the more you see. Children are constantly communicating through their behaviour, movement, and nervous system. Being fully present allows you to observe, adapt, and respond to what is in front of you rather than what you expected to see. Presence is one of the most valuable clinical skills we can develop. A quote that perfectly summarises my experience of this program is: “Everyone wants better results. Skill precedes results. Practice precedes skill. Attitude precedes practice. It’s the willingness to try—and keep trying—that ultimately leads to ability.” This course reminded me that mastery is not achieved through perfection, but through curiosity, humility, repetition, and the courage to keep showing up. Every child, every adjustment, and every experience becomes another opportunity to learn and grow.

    I found this course both challenging and immensely rewarding. Much of the challenge came not from the material itself, but from my own process of learning. Integrating a completely new set of skills and ways of thinking into an already busy clinical practice required patience, persistence, and a willingness to embrace being a beginner again. Working with many children who have complex needs added another layer of challenge. They often require efficient, gentle care that works within their time frame and capacity to engage. Learning new techniques while still providing the highest standard of care meant I had to trust the process, even when I didn’t yet feel fluent. Perhaps the greatest lesson was learning to be kind and patient with myself. I came to appreciate that true mastery cannot be rushed. Time, repetition, and clinical experience were not slowing my progress, they were embedding these vital skills into my neurology and allowing them to become intuitive. Looking back, I can see that what initially felt slow was actually creating a much deeper level of understanding, confidence, and clinical certainty. Learning this intricate and vital work is a lifetime process, and I am willing to commit to this learning.

    One case that has had a profound impact on my learning involved a young boy who presented as irritable, constantly unwell, and unable to sleep. He cried almost incessantly and was deeply distrustful of anyone coming near him, which I believed was a reflection of the discomfort he was experiencing. As a result, both assessing and adjusting him were incredibly challenging. The greatest lesson for me was learning where to begin. Rather than trying to address everything at once, I trusted the principles I had been taught and focused first on reducing vertebral subluxation in his upper cervical spine. This became the “window in” to his nervous system. Over time, everything began to change. He became calmer, happier, more engaged with those around him, and the constant crying stopped. As his trust grew, I was able to work more extensively on other areas of his spine and nervous system.

    I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to any chiropractor who wants to make a lasting difference in the lives of children. It provides the knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills to assess and adjust vertebral subluxation with certainty, helping each child express their full potential. There is no greater privilege than supporting a child’s nervous system so they have every opportunity to grow, develop, and live an extraordinary life.

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson. Thank you for stretching me, incubating me, and now helping to finesse my skills throughout this journey. Your wisdom, generosity, and unwavering commitment to teaching have been truly inspiring, and I am so grateful that you have shared your knowledge with us. I hope that one day I can demonstrate even a fraction of the skill, compassion, and mastery that you both bring to chiropractic and the care of children. The impact you have had on my professional growth, and on the lives of the families I will care for because of what you have taught me, is immeasurable. Thank you for believing in us, challenging us, and inspiring us to become better chiropractors. It has been an absolute privilege to learn from you.
