Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.-

Meghan Kretz, MS, CCC-SLP, CSOM
This course was recommended to me by my friend and colleague. I was hoping to learn the causes of cranial facial distortions and their impact on development.
My three takeaways are: CSF buildup and its effect, common is not normal, and the effects of compensations that form when development is abnormal
This course has reminded me and made me more aware of how birth/development can be impacted by tension and other restrictions
I have been able to apply this info to some of my cases. A student with severe sensory aversions, toe walking and low tone has a history of traumatic birth and vacuum delivery. It has been hard to get parents to follow through with cranial work, but I hope this course will have helped me explain the rationale better so they can understand.
Thank you! I loved the doctor shares the most and also the Facebook page was interesting too!

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.

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 took this program to expand my detailed knowledge of Pediatric Chiropractic.
There were great Details, Sound Knowledge Base and Professional Presenters.
I know have a more solid foundation and certainty with Pediatrics.
I have been seeing many more babies in practice and getting great results.
Thank you!

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.
