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

I took it to gain more knowledge on specific facial patterns I see on the daily to help me identify what’s going on better. It was more entry level than I thought, but I gained some basics that will help me relate to parents.

This is a general course that gives you a broad awareness of cranial distortions and why is important. It’s given me some tools, but I’m going to build on this through working through some of the previous course material to help me correct the distortions I see on the table

I would say I’m more show and tell on the table with parents and can help them understand the importance of what I’m seeing that is often not why the parent brought their child in, but relates to it so much. I really enjoy learning this work.

The main purpose of taking this class is to understand more about cranial distortion and the impact on childhood development. Also I hope to learn more about the normal development of an infant through the early years. What to look for in terms of the abnormality.

That 90% of the brain cells are formed during the first year and the adult myelination is present by the end of the second year. That’s quite mind blowing to me. That the first 6 years of the childhood programming will pretty much affect that child for the rest of his or her life. It makes me reflect on my own and my siblings’ childhood. That common abnormal in child cranial distortion should not be overlooked or brushed off as normal.

The knowledge that I know now will impact how I will look for my own child in the future and professionally it gives me more confidence to advise clients that just have their own child about their development.

Checking and explaining to my new mom and the information about her child development was really appreciated by her. She commented that her pediatric wasn’t as thorough as me. And as a result, she refers more clients in.

Thank you so much for taking time putting this course together. The information is really cool and I don’t see it in other places.

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 course to learn more about how cranial facial distortions affect different aspects of development. I also wanted to learn when looking at a babies/toddlers facial structure how certain distortions are related to cranial subluxations and then to know the correction.

This program hits on every aspect of development from gross motor to primitive reflexes to things that maybe non-chiropractors don’t learn like the dural meningeal system. This course helps to tie all those things together and helps non-chiropractors learn the signs of cranial facial distortion and what they can do to help.

This course has helped me to look at treating children in a whole body manner. When treating any child you can’t just look at one thing to help them you need to think about every aspect of their development and the things that could be affecting their development. This course has allowed me to do that on a bigger scale.

I had an 18 months old in that I have been treating for torticollis, which has resolved. She comes in because she started crying during diaper changes. After listening to the dural meningeal lecture I began treating her for dural tension, which helped her so much.

I wanted to learn more about cranial adjusting. I didn’t realize this was more geared toward the general public with an overview of cranial and development.

To add to my practice and help support patients more: 1 – do a more thorough eval of primitive reflexes in infants 2 – tongue tie check 3 – I like the cranial distortions sheet to use as a guide on evaluations

I like the list of specific things parents can do to help their child develop.

I added more primitive reflexes to my exam and have a better base line to check pre- and post-care.
