    This program was excellent, helping me totally completely understand how to evaluate and treat the palate
    This program has made me the expert in my community with tongue, lip, and cheek ties, and both evaluating them and treating them. I have gotten great results.

    I can share with you many instances where I use the techniques learned in this class to evaluate and treat my patient. I had a little girl who came in to me, and when she came in, she could not even turn her neck. Her mom was having tremendous trouble, breast-feeding her, even after her tongue tie, release. Now the baby is totally breast-feeding and her brachycephaly is totally going away. Her mom also understands that breast-feeding is not where it ends, but where it begins as the brain develops 101% and grows the first year of life.

    Yes, I would definitely recommend this course to others.

    I have been studying with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for the last 18 years. What can I say about that? You’re extremely great and extremely knowledgeable and the best anybody can hope for.

  • Dr. Angela Irwin

    “I took this program because: 1. The impact of properly evaluating the palate and cranial structures in our young patients 2. How many tongue ties are over-looked today or even surgically operated on without looking to chiropractic first 3. The impact chiropractic can have on the developing baby/child

    My daughter was thought to have a tongue tie initially because she didn’t have a great latch. It was determined that she did not have a tongue tie and we needed to work on her strength as well as other structures so I am excited to apply it to my own daughter.

    I applied them to my daughter by evaluating her. Her latch has been much better since I started working on her with what I learned in this course.

    Love the options for online classes – much easier for me at this stage in my life.”

  • Shenaigh Newman, DC

    “My three takeaways from this program are:
    1. In depth overview regarding anatomy of the cranium especially the palate.
    2. Detailed descriptions of assessment of palate and suture motion/restrictions.
    3. Overview of corrections for restrictions of sutures and palate.

    Very in-depth course on the assessment and corrections of the palate. I treat and assess the palate multiple times a day and will be using these techniques to continue to help my patients.

    I treat newborns and infants with tongue ties multiple times a day and have always worked on the palate to help with function and symptoms. I have already started using some of these techniques (specifically the assessment and correction of the sphenobasilar junction) to help with high and narrow palates.

    This is a great program. I would love an overview at the end of what an exam/treatment would look like. There were many assessments and corrections discussed but it was unclear how they all fit together within a single exam/visit.”
