    I took this class as a refresher on facial distortion patterns and how to correct them. I was also interested in digging deeper into retained reflexes.

    This program reviewed how to do a baby cranial exam. It was a good reference for parents and other practitioners needing an understanding of how the baby can be helped with chiropractic care and it was a good review of reflexes and time frames for them.

    Thus course has helped me do better exams and helped me understand retained reflexes better.

    I have a baby that came into the office with failure to put on weight and constantly throwing up. He was tiny and grumpy and at 3 months had not put on any weight from birth. I did a more thorough exam than I might have before and started adjusting him and working with his cranials and he is not throwing up as much. He is getting bigger and thriving and his head is not flat on the right side any more.

    It was a good class. Thank you.

    In my practice I see a lot of kids in their first few weeks of life and many with breastfeeding problems. I was hoping to gain some tips to better serve my patients.

    My biggest take away from this course was to give me better language to help educate the parents of the children I serve so that they better understand the role of chiropractic and cranial adjusting to the overall health of their families’.

    This program has helped in terms of being better able to explain my findings and the role of chiropractic and cranial work for the youngest of patients.

    I feel that my connection and education has resulted in better relationships with the parents of the children I serve as they are better able to advocate for their children and follow through with home care and keep their appointments. Thank you!

    I took the course to broaden my knowledge and better serve my patients.

    The program is a great refresher for the structures of the cranium, it correlates how malpositions of cranial structures can affect neurological development. The course also draws your attention to details that other clinicians miss.

    This course has helped me as a parent know what indicators to look for as possible cranial subluxations in my children. Professionally, it has given me better verbiage to explain how what we see ties into what’s going on the inside.

    I was able to use the skills learned in this course to better explain to a parent how changing their child’s position while both sleeping and playing along with Chiro care could help resolve the flat spot in their baby’s head and help improve their mood. The baby is making great progress in care.

    This course was great groundwork for courses that I plan to take in the future. When reviewing the transcripts, I was able to visualize myself exposing this to parents.

    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.

    I wanted to learn what signs to look for in infants that may tip off that there are some cranial imbalances that need to be addressed

    I’d say one would be to observe, observe, observe – notice details in the face, skull, etc. The other would be that there are things that can be addressed at home if mild, such as placing toys on the restricted side in the instance of torticollis, for example. Third would be the innate intelligence of the body mindset toward potential and growth – I think this is the accurate frame to convey this to patients.

    Gave useful information so parents can know when to intervene early to put kids on the best trajectory of potential/development.
