The program is in-depth, thorough and a commitment that is worthwhile.
My practice has benefited greatly, my confidence in treating paeds and being able to “offer something more” to my little patients has been wonderful.
I’ve seen remarkable improvements with plagiocephaly cases, babies meeting milestones that were remarkably delayed, and improvements with breastfeeding outcomes.
Yes, I would recommend this program. To be able to level up with paediatric Chiropractor.
Thank you for sharing a part of your knowledge with us.

My three take aways…. This work is much more powerful than I originally thought. For starters, just having a new lens to look through changed my eval and adjusting right away, before even applying any of the SOT techniques. My awareness allowed me to see subtle differences I had not necessarily been aware of; for example, differences in facial structure or even just watching children in my waiting area and how they moved and interacted. I noticed these subtle indicators in adults as well as when they enter the office or walk to the bathroom. I think some folks caught me evaluating their facial structure before a cervical adjustment because I paused longer than usual. Second take away… I need to continue my study of SOT, learning more about the basics and application in the adult population. This is powerful work, and more people need it than I realized. I must deepen my understanding so I may share this work with my entire community. Third… Drs. Rosen and Watson are true experts in the field; wow do I have a lot to learn! Taking this program helped to realize that expecting that I master SOT for the pediatric population by the end of the course is ridiculous. I can be hard on myself for not picking up very detail and learning exactly how to apply them in my day-to-day practice. I promised myself to take it slow and to not get frustrated. In the past I have found it nearly impossible to learn and integrate a new technique during my day-to-day at the office, introducing new techniques can be time consuming and slow the flow and as a solo practitioner with no staff it has been historically challenging. I have yet to be successful at fully integrating a new technique…this time I have promised myself to take it slow and make it happen over time. Principle 6- There is no process that does not require time.
Being patient with myself and allowing the time I need to truly learn and integrate the information. Learning is a process not an event (just like healing). Taking the course has also allowed me to embrace the fact that after almost 17 years of diversified adjusting my longevity requires I have a tool bag of lighter touch techniques that have the desired effect (maybe even more so than diversified adjusting).
A mom who comes regularly with her three children recently reported to me that her 7-year-old son has been complaining of headaches. Headaches so severe that he wasn’t sleeping well and she had to give him an OTC pain reliever to help. I have been adjusting this little guy at least monthly for a couple of years, and this was something new for him. I evaluated the sphenoid and frontal bones as well as the temporomandibular joints, found restriction and tenderness at both the sphenoid and temporal mandibular. After working on these areas as well as applying adjustments in the cervical spine, Vinny and mom reported a reduced incidence and severity of headaches after just one visit integrating SOT techniques. Over the course of the next few weeks, we continued to work in the same fashion and continued to see improvement with a near complete resolution after approximately a month. Vinny has also gotten glasses in the past weeks and with continued chiropractic care he has remained essentially headache free now for the last 2.5 months.
Most certainly I would recommend this course to others! The amount of information presented is a bit overwhelming, I applaud you for the way you have organized and structured the program. Allowing downloads of the transcripts, PowerPoints and Call to Action assignments have made returning to the information accessible and manageable. I’ve also appreciated the Q & A sessions, unfortunately I have not been able to log in live due to conflicts with my office hours, but the replays have been very helpful.
Thank you for combining your wealth of knowledge into a five-star course that has, and will continue to, help me better serve all the members of my community, but particularly the very special little ones.

This course provides chiropractors with an in-depth understanding of the SOT® (Sacral Occipital Technique) Three Category System. Participants will learn to identify, evaluate, and correct Category I, II, and III subluxation patterns using SOT® adjusting protocols.
This comprehensive course delves into the evaluation and management of tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) and palate function, emphasizing their impact on speech, feeding, swallowing, breathing, and cranial development. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the tongue and palate, learn to assess their function, and apply specific chiropractic cranial adjusting techniques to address related dysfunctions.
This advanced training presents Dr. Major Bertrand DeJarnette’s 1977 Sutural Technique, a precise, step-by-step cranial protocol developed to guide chiropractors through comprehensive cranial balancing within proper SOT® categorization.
Designed specifically for chiropractors, this course integrates sutural assessment, TMJ evaluation, dural balancing, and CSF normalization into a cohesive clinical system. These techniques are particularly indicated when:
- Category II patterns are not resolving as anticipated
- TMJ dysfunction (TMD) is present
- Swallowing, craniofacial, or temporal stress patterns persist
- Cranial and cervical compensations remain after standard care
- Somaticized recurrent or embodied patterns (PTSD, emotional or physical trauma)
