“I wanted to become better at adjusting cranials. And I wanted to feel confident about it. Plus I wanted to be able to pause Marty when he talks, just so I can digest it.

My takeaways are: 1. It is intense but digestible 2. Marty and Nancy are the most dedicated instructors I have ever met 3. The quality of the content is great!

This program has brought so much clarity to what I do and why I do it.

I’ve got the participants book specifically with me because that thing I did last time cleared their sinuses, or their ears, or their tinnitus and they want me to do it again… I’d say the techniques that I use the most are sphenobasilar, fruit jar and TMJ/temporal and that’s why they book with me.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend this course. Because every child should have the opportunity to thrive, and this knowledge will help every pediatric chiropractor help the children even further

The quality of the content, the care from the instructors, is beyond any course or class I have ever taken in my entire chiropractic career. I regret not keeping up with the material to be able to ask more questions live. I recommend you really take advantage of this program and the pearls of wisdom Marty and Nancy provide.

In a way, being so behind with CTA’s made me go through the videos at least one more time. I actually enjoyed going through it all in a short period of time. I also appreciated the repetition on certain topics and techniques; it reinforced what I was learning. I wish I could have the Q& A videos for a bit longer. I’m sad this has ended.”

“My three takeaways from this program are:

1. The vast knowledge and in depth information behind this type of work.
2. How truly impressive the body is and how the cranial dural system really controls basically everything
3. These kids (and adults) really do need us in their lives

This program was very eye opening in showing just how powerful our profession really is. People need us for this knowledge and we can change the trajectory of their lives in a very profound way.

I honestly apply this every day in our office. Whether it is the struggling new mother with breastfeeding or the delayed infant that just needed to find us. Literally everyday it is something. A very specific case would be a 5 month old with craniosynostosis that we were able to diagnose although he was improving under care, there was just another variable that we knew was not right. Upon further analysis it was found and then he went to surgery. They took his occipitals and cut them then flipped them and put them back onto his skull. Wild process but he has such a better quality of life due to this knowledge base. Thank you.

If you see kids in your office this is a must. You can skate the surface with adjusting but this in depth program will set you up for every scenario that kids will throw you way from cranial issues, to feeding, and even neurological symptoms.

Know i am sure I will be forever learning this material but am forever grateful for this program. We will be a part of it for many years to come.”

1. It is Important to make a good examination to find out if we are meeting an ascending or descending sacro occipital pattern. 2. Cranial bones have a specific motion that we can feel and differentiate during inhalation and exhalation. It is interesting to realize how we can improve our touch by practicing. 3. We can use different cranial techniques and touch to correct cranial bone movement. This can have a positive effect on the brain and neurological development of children.

It gave me new tools and helped me to be more self-confident facing clinical situations.

I had a 15 months patient. She had spent 3 days at hospital for pneumonia and otitis. She came to my office with a very acute condition. I work on temporal fibers, sphenobasilar, first rib, temporal. The day after, the mother called at the office to tell that her daughter feels much better.

I already recommended it to my colleague in Quebec. The classes are well organized, I learned new techniques. This class brings us a step forward.

Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you at the Dr. Sharing even if I couldn’t be there live all the time. In a way.

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.

“My three takeaways from this program:

1. Early prevention is key and we can make such a great impact before a child is two yrs old and beyond
2. Clinical indicators are important in determining the frequency and specific care a child needs
3. The pediatric exam and case history are powerful tools in patient education and preparing a child patient for care

Personally, this program has made it clear to me that I don’t want to be a jack of all trades especially when it comes to specific, safe, and gentle care for the pediatric population. Cranial adjusting is so fascinating to me and congruent to how I want to serve the children in my community. Professionally, I have found that people are looking for experts in the field of pediatrics and with this work and diving deeper; I can be so refined in my clinical skills to provide state of the art care for these families.

I have been applying that fruit jar technique to a handful of adults and children. The outcome has been less overall tension in neck and jaw and incredible healing with those with seasonal allergies.

100% would recommend this course to others. There are people in our communities looking for us to know exactly when and what to adjust and the expected outcomes and results for the doctor and the patient.

A huge thank you for your time and patience and for stepping out and sharing your wisdom. You are truly legends and creating a beautiful legacy raising other DCs no matter where they are in practice whether it’s fresh like me or one who has been in practice for decades it’s truly an honor. Dr Watson and Dr Rosen, thank you for doing the work and putting it together for a way to inspire other DCs to learn how to be better clinicians for the pediatric population.”
