“1. Dr. Martin and Dr. Nancy’s knowledge in pediatrics is just spectacular and profound and they can make difficult concepts easy to understand. 2. This 10-month course covers topics especially cranial adjusting which is very niche in the chiropractic world and extremely helpful to kids with special needs nowadays in the modern digital world. 3. The support such as FB group and live Q&A session which can deepen our knowledge and experience.

Since I have started this program, I have encountered more patients with cranial problems and I can use those skills I have learnt to help them. Some kids come to clinic with agitation and cranial techniques is very helpful.

I work in a pediatric clinic and most kids aged over 3 come here for postural problems like slouch back and scoliosis. Nowadays more kids with special needs like autistic and ADHD and I have been using primitive exercises and spinal adjustment to improve their health. Now I can use cranial technique to make my adjustment more complete. In Hong Kong, most of kids spend long hours on phone and gaming and I feel that their brain development, emotion and spinal health are getting worse.

I would strongly recommend this course to chiros which have interest in seeing more kids and babies and want to change the dynamics of brain to improve common conditions like allergies, snoring and bruxism.

This is a fantastic course.”

The SOT Pediatric Certificate Program has provided me with what I see as the missing link in the foundational Chiropractic course work. 1. Assessment of the neonate and child that is Chiropractic specific. 2. Neurological integration in the Chiropractic practice that is more than a pain and mechanical centered approach yet remaining in the scope of manual therapy. 3. How to confidently be able to communicate with my patients and multidisciplinary colleagues in an evidence-based way, opening up improved communication and understanding of why we do what we do as Chiropractors. Our South African medical and general community is especially in need of improved understanding of the potential benefits of Chiropractic.

I have learnt that where there is confidence and knowledge, there are also improved outcomes. Where there is intention there are improved outcomes. This course has truly transformed my approach to Chiropractic care and brought light to many of my unanswered questions.

I have recently been referred an 18-month-old with an abnormal crawling pattern, overactive sympathetic NS, poor emotional regulation, abnormal head shape and delayed milestone of walking. He does not want to bend the knees to go into a squat position. Even though he is weight bearing, his mother actually sent me a photo of the inverted swing test prior to our initial consultation where he had quite a severe right lateral occipital flexion and thoracic flexion pattern. I could now explain to the mom what she was actually testing and could interpret the test with confidence, all the while considering that he is over 9 months of age. After assessing him, treating him 4 times in two weeks and referring him back to the Occupational Therapist, he was able to crawl on all fours. Although there is not perfect coordination yet, and a lot of work is still needed, I feel that I could provide the best possible care using the SOT pediatric paradigm. I have never had such a severe case, and yet such great results with delayed and non-functional milestones. The best is yet to come.

I would absolutely recommend this course to any Chiropractor who has a special interest in Paediatrics. If you want your clinical outcomes improved, a proper systematic approach to diagnosis and to widen your scope of Chiropractic care – this course is for you!

Just a huge thank you, for the pioneering work that Dr. Martin and Dr. Nancy have done in our profession and for creating such a seamless course for Chiropractors to glean from – worldwide.

Cranial work is so imperative to start early on, and we have the opportunity to make as much change as possible for their entire life. Even if you chose to adjust with different styles of input, the systematic analysis from this is GOLD. Confidence and clarity of structural vs. dural subluxation indicators was a huge take away and make explaining pediatric chiropractic care huge to parents

I was taught a lot of this information by the head doc, but then to go through this course and actually understand the background made a huge difference, it was much easier to memorize once I was able to learn the 30,000 foot view of it all.

We had a long term spinal only (TRT) based patient, who in wellness care started talking about how his ears were constantly getting red and hot out of nowhere, he was feeling inflamed, etc. I decided to do the ventricular bulb on him for a few visits and he was feeling like a new person. Then we did a cranial evaluation and now he is under consistent cranial + spinal care and just this week told me how much this work has changed his life.

So much about this course is important, but more chiropractors need to know and do craniopathy!

This was fabulous, I have learned so much, and I am looking forward to taking more courses.

Thank you for a wonderful course.

Having not been exposed to SOT or cranial work before, I must admit that I did find it challenging. However, it was just what I was looking for to add to my practice.

I will be going through the notes repeatedly, and would absolutely love to attend one of your hands on seminars to get the exact “feel”. But in the meantime, I will continue to practice on every one of my patients (big and small).

Chiropractic is my passion, and being able to incorporate such an in depth tool kit to help my little patients makes practice so fulfilling. I am already seeing the benefits of SOT in my practice.

Thank you once again. I know that I have been quiet down here in South Africa, but please know that I have been hard at work re playing your videos and re-reading the notes constantly.

I would suggest that you try to keep on top of the program as it can very easily run away with you and become overwhelming. Do some background reading on SOT before starting. I found I needed to keep going back and refreshing my brain on the content. It all works so integrally together that if you miss a bit, it impacts how you can move forwards.

It has been tough. Lots of material and new concepts for me. BUT enjoyable.

I have been so pleased at how nicely the craniofacial techniques work for sinus congestion. I also have an adult patient who has persistent headaches that have always been difficult to resolve. Adding in gentle touch sphenoid releases have greatly improved outcomes.

I would recommend this course. While it is a paediatric specific course, I have been able to apply some principles and techniques to my adult patients. It has been really nice to use pelvic blocking with my more frail, older patients.

I feel like I need to repeat it all again. It has been quite overwhelming for me because it is very different to the diversified techniques I use. I am extremely glad and grateful that I will be able to keep reviewing the material until January. And even more grateful that there is a practical component- I don’t think this would be possible without it. I have a lot more to learn!
