Evaluation and Correction of Atlas/Axis Dural Meningeal Restriction
Learning to detect and correct this dural meningeal subluxation is paramount when working with the pediatric patient. This meningeal subluxation is not just a localized fixation but more often a dural meningeal subluxation with a concomitant hypermobility that affects the entire dural meningeal system – from the cranium to the coccyx.
In this online program you will learn how to determine the primary upper cervical subluxation and how to evaluate and correct the dural meningeal component in a safe and effective way. The demonstrations, workshopping and lecture format will give you the ability to determine these dural meningeal subluxations and implement these correction protocols Monday morning in your office. You will be able to help more people and become the go-to expert in your community.
Often the primary subluxation occurs in the upper cervical region due both its vulnerability and strong dural attachments. The most common mechanism for disruption if this area is traction applied to the spinal cord during the birth process. If this subluxation goes uncorrected it can become a primary source of stimulus throughout the child’s life. These compensatory patterns can not only affect proper neurological development (milestones, primal reflexes, and pre-programmed feedback loops) but they can manifest as only mild symptoms early in life and progress to more severe compensatory patterns as the child reaches age 4 or 5.
Your patient outcomes will improve, the ease of your adjustments will improve, your patient compliance will improve. As your practice grows your confidence and certainty will as well.

Meet the Instructors: Drs Rosen & Watson
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.
Assistant Instructor: Dr. Ken Cooper
Dr. Ken’s journey into chiropractic care began during his early years at Chiropractic college, where he had the privilege of being introduced to the esteemed Dr. Larry Webster. It was during his wife’s pregnancies and the subsequent care provided by Dr. Webster to both his wife and newborn babies that Dr. Ken’s passion for maternal, infant, and pediatric chiropractic care was ignited.
During his tenure at Life University in Marietta, GA, Dr. Ken actively participated in seminars focused on the intricate art of perinatal and pediatric chiropractic care. Upon graduation, he wasted no time in pursuing his fellowship in Pediatric Chiropractic from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), concurrently attaining four other pediatric certifications, including the Webster Technique.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, Dr. Ken immersed himself in the teachings of Drs. Rosen and Watson, pioneers in pediatric chiropractic care. He became an early adopter of their methodologies, participating eagerly in Pediatric Certification seminars. Dr. Ken’s unwavering commitment to learning and mastering techniques, particularly within the Peak Potential Institute, culminated in him being one of the inaugural two doctors certified in Pediatric Cranial Adjusting by Drs. Rosen and Watson.
Dr. Ken is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families through his profound knowledge and skill.
Feedback from Our Students
Testimonial: Dr. Kelli Westhues
“I took this program to improve my knowledge of pediatric adjusting and offer skills beyond what other doctors are offering in my area to help set kids on the right course for life. I treated a 4 month old last week using the techniques learned in the online module and the in person module in April in Longmont. It was my first time trying to implement some of the techniques and the baby was subluxated and fussy so I was not able to complete everything I wanted to and clear the upper cervical the way I wanted. I was at least able to do a psoas release for her chronic reflux that she is being given daily medication for and release her sacrum which she smiled about while I was doing. If a doctor cannot make the in person seminars, I would definitely recommend this course. It gives you the information in small, bite size pieces that you can re-watch if you felt like you missed some information. SOT techniques are not something widely taught in chiropractic school (that I know of). I went to Palmer where it was only taught as an elective and I had considered it during my time as a student but could not afford the extra course. I wish I had found a way to pay for it then! The science, art and philosophy of this technique is incredibly valuable and provides a whole new perspective on how to help patients. It makes sense why I would see the same subluxation pattern over and over in a patient and how I could help with the dural tension that causes it. I would love to be able to take the full course offerings with Dr. Rosen!”
Testimonial: Dr. Tom Fastiggi
“I took this course to deepen my knowledge of the dural meningeal system, deeper understanding of its relationship to the upper cervical spine, analysis of it, and correction. I used the leg length test to determine restriction on a 17 yr. old. Following the protocol I released that tension, which revealed a change in short leg. Using the analysis I learned from Dr. Marty at a previous live seminar. I diagnosed and corrected an Occipital restriction AND then was able to clear sacrum and reduce mid & low back pain from a constant 6 to an intermittent. I would recommend this course. It is an advanced look and correction of a fundamental topic. I believe in perfecting your art. To constantly get better. This course helped me do that in the area (Dural Meningeal system) in the most complex and important area of the spine. I very much enjoy your seminar series. The topics are ideal for me. I love Dr. Marty’s experience and breadth of knowledge. It is easy and cost effective for me to expand my SOT knowledge and expertise. Thank you!”
