Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development

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.

As a new mom whose child had significant birth trauma, I realized the importance of craniosacral technique for child development overall. I’ve always been interested in this technique but didn’t have the time to take other courses.

I love the flexibility of the classes, content is amazing and can be applied to practice immediately and the app makes things easier.

Taking this program has solidified my desire to get certified in SOT and become proficient at it. There is so much need.

I currently have a 5 month old baby who had significant birth trauma therefore everything in this class was and is relevant for me form understanding more about cranial distortions caused by the birthing process, to milestones, primitive reflexes and especially tongue tie section given that during this course my son had a tongue tie revision. This course helped me find the right provider and know what to do after.

I love your classes and hope to continue learning from both of you. I wish I was closer to Boston.

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’

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.

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.
