With over 80 years of combined clinical practice and teaching experience, our commitment to education and chiropractic excellence is second to none. 

We are seeking individuals who are committed to elevating the delivery of the chiropractic adjustment as the forefront of their practice. If you share our passion for advancing patient care through precise and effective adjusting techniques, we invite you to join our community and embark on a journey towards professional excellence with us.

Our Pediatric Certificate Program provides three avenues for certification: a 10-month online program, a 48-hour hybrid program (16 hours online, 32 hours in-person), and a 64-hour intensive program (40 hours online, 24 hours in-person). Upon completing any of these programs, participants will be listed in our exclusive Pediatric Referral Directory and invited to join our membership program.

Meet the Instructors

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.

    1. Cranial work and this course are more useful than any continuing ed you will ever take
    2. Take this course as soon as you learn about it…the closer to graduation the better!
    3. Make sure you have adequate time to devote to studying each week

    I have been able to use this course in practice and with my own kids with incredible results already. Babies I feel before taking this course would not have been able to turn the corner have changed for the positive.

    I would recommend this program as it is so in depth and gives you so many tools to apply in practice. This work is so much needed to lay the foundation for healthy nervous system functions.”

    I would suggest that you try to keep on top of the program as it can very easily run away with you and become overwhelming. Do some background reading on SOT before starting. I found I needed to keep going back and refreshing my brain on the content. It all works so integrally together that if you miss a bit, it impacts how you can move forwards.

    It has been tough. Lots of material and new concepts for me. BUT enjoyable.

    I have been so pleased at how nicely the craniofacial techniques work for sinus congestion. I also have an adult patient who has persistent headaches that have always been difficult to resolve. Adding in gentle touch sphenoid releases have greatly improved outcomes.

    I would recommend this course. While it is a paediatric specific course, I have been able to apply some principles and techniques to my adult patients. It has been really nice to use pelvic blocking with my more frail, older patients.

    I feel like I need to repeat it all again. It has been quite overwhelming for me because it is very different to the diversified techniques I use. I am extremely glad and grateful that I will be able to keep reviewing the material until January. And even more grateful that there is a practical component- I don’t think this would be possible without it. I have a lot more to learn!
