Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Have you ever noticed something developmentally different about a child but your concerns fell on deaf ears? It is not until the situation becomes obvious that proper intervention is recommended. Knowing before the situation or condition escalates is paramount to achieving a more efficient, less stressful (both to the child and family) resolution.
It is important to note that these developmental “glitches”, while they may be common, are not normal and can affect proper neurological development (milestones, primal reflexes, and pre-programmed feedback loops). They can also manifest as only mild symptoms early in life and progress to more severe ones as the child reaches age 4 or 5.
Much has been written about milestones and primitive reflexes and their effect on developmental potential. What we are offering to you is the missing link to optimal childhood development – the effects of cranial and facial distortions on human potential.
In this online program Drs. Rosen and Watson will walk you through an understanding of normal childhood growth and development and the structural distortion patterns to look for that may be signs of developmental challenges.

✓ Developmental anatomy, physiology, and neurology of the developing nervous system
✓ How to recognize developmental “glitches” in a child’s development
✓ Specific conditions such as, torticollis, plagiocephaly, missed milestones, retained primal reflexes, tongue-tie, and cranial facial distortions are discussed
✓ What you as a parent or health care provider can do when you suspect something is wrong

Meet the Instructors
As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence. Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession. Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.
Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.
Feedback From Our Students

Before taking this class, I was doing cranial adjusting from what I learned through KST. I wanted to dive into intraoral work and understand deeper how to decrease dural tension and increase CSF flow.
I wish every chiropractic school would put as much emphasis on cranial adjusting as they do upper cervical analysis.
This program elevates the level of service that I and any chiropractor who takes this class can give to their patients. There have been dozens of people who I have cared for over 28 years that for the first time I have found other neurological imbalances and addressed it.
The online program is perfect for the practicing chiropractor since one can view a short video and practice it right away. A weekend seminar provides through information, but for me would be too much to process and integrate. This is a slow drip method that one can do at their own pace and they can watch and rewatch over and over again.
I have seen an array of cases of the past 28 years yet there was still room to broaden my scope to be able to help more complicated neurological cases. The 12-year-old boy with Rett’s for instance was up out of his wheelchair and put pressure on his feet with the help of his mom for the first time in 2 years after only 2 cranial adjustments!!! Before coming to the office, he would have a seizure every time he urinated and that is gone too!!! Those results are priceless and will open the door to see others like him whose parents are looking for solutions. Personally, that has brought me immense joy to have that kind of impact on a family who has to give this sweet boy 24/7 care by easing their stress and giving them some hope. An added message…When the mother took her son to his neurologist the other day, she told him what I was doing with her son and he looked me up on my website, social media, and reviews and then explained to her how this technique I was doing was helping her son!! That was a WOW to me and is soooooooooo much more rewarding that just helping someone’s back feel better. Our office is about family wellness, so by sharing this testimonial with other people we serve, we will attract more new people with cranial issues that we can successfully address.Another example would be instead of just adjusting someone’s TMJ as I would in the past, I now am addressing cranial distortions that are causing the TMJ to many of my patients. This is bringing more long lasting results.
YES!!! I would recommend this program. Everyone has had an impact to their cranium (chiropractors too) and unless it is addressed, it will continue to affect the physiology of their body. No matter what technique one uses, this course will only maximize results and better function for their patients.
The two of you are masters at cranial work and I appreciate feeling like a beginner at something even after 28 years of practice that I feel is a game changer to making what we offer even more special and unique than the medical profession and what other chiros in my area are doing.

I took this course to increase my knowledge with cranial distortions.
This program as good quality of information presented in an easy to understand manner.
I’m noticing more distortions in my chiropractic practice.
My physical exam and notes have significantly improved. I still feel weak with adjusting cranial distortions, so that is next on my list of courses to take.
Well done. Thank you!

Thank you so much Dr. Rosen for access to the course.
It was very informative and very helpful. I treat infants and always understand that the first 1000 days are critical in their development and that many things mimic a tongue tie and we work with an osteopathic physician and some chiropractors to help alleviate somatic dysfunction, subluxations, occipital condylar compression and other birth trauma. We use non-surgical laser 1064 nm wavelength (Babylase) to help release fascial restrictions and integrate cranial nerves to improve function. Sometimes surgical intervention is needed but not before calming the ANS. And we follow the infants closely (every 3months) to monitor proper growth and development. Generally treating and collaborating for Structure, function, behavior, neurology, nutrition and posture.
I was particularly intrigued by the CSF study at 6 months of age that could help to identify those that were diagnosed with Autism later.
Again, thank you for this course and for standing up for the most vulnerable amongst us. We preach every day that ‘common does not equal normal.
