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

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.

I took this program because both of my children and me were tongue-tied. We all had them lasered off by Dr. Billiot or Dr. Kotlow. My son has primal reflexes retained, can be inconsolable at times, had very difficult time sleeping for the first 2 years of life.

My three takeaways are:

The importance of seeking professional help when parents notice an issue.
1. How fast the brain grows the first 2 years of life.
2. The quicker the issue can be corrected the easier the child’s development will be.
3. Both my children seem to be congested when they’re not sick. My 2 y/o daughter is worse than my 4 y/o son. Both are mouth breathers but she is worse. I will dive deeper to further help them.

I have a patient who has plagiocephaly (her bow on her head didn’t sit right/equal around her head) that I was able to help reshape their head. She became a “more pleasant” baby.

Thank you for offering these courses.

I wanted to take this course to learn more about SOT pediatrics.

This course gives a nice refresher of the anatomy and a good introduction to SOT pediatrics and a good basic know-hows to what to look out for.

I would recommend doing this course as an introductory course before doing the 10-month SOT Pediatrics course.

I used the SOT techniques on a 3-month old premature baby and it helped to resolve his torticollis and plagio problems.

It is always a pleasure to do your classes and to learn more about SOT. Thank you very much.

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.
