About the Program

Welcome to the SOT® Pediatric Certificate Program and the home of Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting TM methods. We are proud to offer one of the most comprehensive pediatric certification programs in the chiropractic profession. 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 two avenues for certification: a 10-month online program and a 48-hour hybrid (16 hours online, 32 hours in-person) seminar series. Upon completing either of these programs, participants will be listed in our exclusive Pediatric Referral Directory and invited to join our membership program. Our members, who have found their professional home with us, aspire to master our techniques, and may eventually choose to join the Peak Potential Institute as part of our training staff.

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.

    “I took this program as a student because I was looking for a different perspective in treating babies.

    This program has much value for students and doctors. You get to learn many applicable techniques to use to access patients. You get greatly expanded knowledge that you don’t get in school. This has reshaped what chiropractic could be and how important our work is for the development and health of children and adults.

    During my clinic, the way of approaching occiput analysis and assessment has greatly increased my success rate. Overall this has helped my understanding and application of SOT®.

    Thank you for allowing me to shadow and see how you treat people and animals. I still have a long way to go and I am grateful of all the work you do to spread SOT®. I would not know the stuff I do now, if it was not for your teaching.”

    “I took this course to gain insight and proficiency in caring for my pediatric patients.

    Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:
    1. The hands on time, setting up on other participants, really helps to solidify the concepts being taught
    2. There is so much more potential for neurological improvement with cranial adjusting than I had ever realized, having this new skill is transforming my practice
    3. Taking the class in person rather than online is incredibly beneficial. Not just having the opportunity to get hands on, but also being able to network with other like-minded chiropractors and discover other ways to implement these techniques into practice is tremendously helpful.

    Professionally, taking this course has helped me be able to serve my patients even better than I already have been. I recently used several of the cranial adjusting techniques on a young girl who had been fighting a virus, fever, congestion, cough, etc. for several days. Her mother said within an hour of the adjustment she was up and playing as if not sick at all.

    I would recommend that anyone wanting to grow a pediatric practice take this course. The insights and techniques that are taught here have helped me become more well-rounded in my care. The extra tools in my toolbox help me have the confidence to care for a broader base of health concerns. One of the reasons I would highly recommend taking this course is because patients appreciate the value of continued education. I had one mom say, “I love that you keep learning. It shows that you really care about our kids, you really want to help them heal and be their best.” It doesn’t get better than that!

    Thanks, this has been a great course. I really appreciate what I learned in the cranial course specifically. I have applied many of the techniques already, and keep adding new ones each week. Can’t wait for the last course.”
