Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.-

Dr. Larissa Rice Forsberg
I took this program to learn more about tongue-ties and cranial distortions so I can offer more sound information to parents. To help babies and parents enjoy the first months together.
My three takeaways:
Primitive reflexes are very important and need to be tested.
Multi-discipline is very important when dealing with TOTs.
Earlier is the best, primary up to 6 weeks.
This program has left me on the same quest of why I took the class to find out what to do with these children and how to change parents’ perceptions.I think this is a good overview class if you haven’t had any cranial education.

I took this program because I want to stay up on cranial work, and continue to learn.
This overall Peak Potential program is furthering my knowledge, expanding my skill, providing more confidence, and allowing me to interact with other professionals better.
This was an introductory class and available for non-DC’s. It still is great to keep this information at the top of your mind.
One child recently came in with severe plagiocephaly, he was headed for a helmet and I started working on him and it improved significantly, very noticeable to the visual eye. He came in last week and had been fitted for a helmet and the doctor told them it may only be one month of wearing it instead of the 6 months they initially thought because his head had improved so much.
Keep doing what you are doing.

Silke Laub, DC
I took this program to improve my cranial adjusting skills and understanding for the adult and pediatric population.
I like the segmentation and the Q and A and the availability of the doctors to answer all questions.
This program has made huge steps forward especially in TMJ issues and autoimmune disease
I used the Ventricular bulb technique with an MS patient with increased swelling in legs, reduced by 50% the next day.
I would recommend this program, but probably not to someone who has no hands on prior experience in cranial work due to pressures and understanding of the concept, since this is not a hands-on class.
The concept is great, and with the video format I could re-watch the segments, using it with having a volunteer on the table and let the techniques ‘sink in’

Dr. Lisa Geiger
I wanted to take this course online so it could fit the ebb and flow of my life time-management-wise. I hoped to get out of it in more detail on topics Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson had touched on in classes I have taken, and also to experience it being broken down at a different pace and rhythm than the other classes I have taken, It did not disappoint.
Having taken classes in person and online with Peak Potential Institute, and having watched the program develop and deepen over that time, three takeaways include: These classes are extremely well made and thought out. With so many simple talking-head videos passing for online courses out on the web, these classes provide transcripts, slide shows, and regular assignments. Love that. Kajabi provides a robust platform that has not lagged or skipped in my experience and I love that. This legacy of education is priceless. I also appreciate that some of the classes offered, like this one, are geared towards not just chiropractors, and that broadened the usefulness as it was considered and included information that helped me be more effective and agile with parents.
My niece’s son was just born with a fracture in his skull due in no small part to birth trauma and birth idiocy on the part of the hospital. My thought process in treating and evaluating MJ as well as how I communicate with my niece and sister have been impacted and we all benefit from that.
Well done. Your programs just get more and more robust and luscious!

Heather Youngman, MS, CCC-SLP
I enrolled in this course to help me identify cranial facial distortions and patterns more effectively and to be able to explain to parents why they should seek additional consultation.
My three takeaways are:
It’s important to understand the relationship between structure and function.
Parents should trust their instincts and seek professional help if concerned.
The first year of life is so important for neurological development.
I will look at my clients differently and try to match structure with function more successfully.I gave a parent specific examples of cranial facial distortions: one eye bigger, ears sitting lower, head tilted and referred.
This was a lot of valuable information. I wish you could have shown many case studies all throughout but especially in the later weeks of actual patients and pointed out the distortion patterns you see, what they mean, and what you would do about it. It is also helpful to see a patient from initial consultation to completion of care.
