“I took the course to further my understanding and ability to treat pediatric patients; knowing the SOT® model of addressing the entire body when doing cranial work, I hoped to gain a set of tools to help complement my pediatric cranial practice. My three takeaways:
1. The pediatric certification program is extremely thorough, even for those of us already doing SOT®;
2. The course teaches a holistic approach, not a technique;
3. This course is not anyone looking to take a weekend seminar to pick up a few new tools, it’s a deep dive into understanding and delivering pediatric care.

Within 1-2 months I was able to help my patients more than before the course, and it has helped me understand how much treatment I was leaving on the table – and that other pediatric specialty chiro’s I’ve been co-treating with aren’t taught about much of this either!

I recently adjusted a 4 year old to address chronic hearing issues (all tests normal) and fluid in the ears. Later that night his ears ‘popped’ while hiccuping and he asked if they had turned the TV up and why was everyone talking so loudly.

Not all pediatric courses are equal – which I’m unfortunately learning as parents come to me from highly regarded ped offices near me and yet I’m seeing foundational things left unresolved or even unaddressed.
In chiropractic school it seems we get enough pediatric training to not be dangerous, but we have no idea how unprepared we really are. I would highly recommend the course for anyone wanting to thoroughly understand why and how pediatric care needs to be different from treating adults. I recommend this course specifically because the cranial adjusting being taught here is in its truest, safest, and most effective and complete form. It’s a huge commitment, but there’s also huge support and guidance.

Ten months is a long time for a course, however I’d almost say the amount & depth of the material might be better over 12 months. As my clinic Dr. at Palmer said, ‘SOT® is a technique for people who really REALLY like to think.’ I’d like to thank you both for continuing to grow this institute. I give presentations every year about what I do (which now feels like a sliver of what you guys do), and the physicians I’m educating are always surprised and disappointed there isn’t an SOT® chiro near them, especially peds.”

“I took this program to improve my adjusting skills with newborns and gain clinical reasoning skills in daily practice. Also to gain a deeper knowledge with cranial corrections procedures.

1. Detailed knowledge that you can access any time – I am a very visual learner, so I am very grateful about everything I can watch over and over again. For me hands-on seminars are mostly not useful. So thankful that this program exists. 2. Lots of support from experienced doctors – it helped me so much to send e-mails to the doctors and get always amazing answers. 3. Deep information – this program gives you a detailed and wide variety of information for cranial adjusting.

Taking this program gave me: – more information = more confidence in the practice – adjusting protocols = find subluxations faster – get a frame on how to adjust complex problems

I had a 6 year old child that had a head trauma. Thanks to this program this child now has only mild head deformities and could finally speak again. Because of this head trauma the child would barely speak with other children. The mom almost cried of joy when she found out about her child speaking again freely.

Yes I would recommend that program. For me I finally got a full evaluation system on how to address any cranial issue and have an adjusting flow for newborn and children.

Dr. Martin Rosen can answer any question and help you with difficult cases.

Thank you for your work!!! Because of you I can be one of the few people in Berlin who can address all these complex problems.”

“I decided to take this course after my son had his tongue/lip ties revised after birth and needed cranial adjusting.

Pediatric training is way more involved than what we are taught in school. This course was amazing at going into the details.
This course teaches spinal adjusting as well, not just cranial. As well as examinations (I don’t feel this is taught well enough in chiropractic school).
These techniques taught can be the missing piece in many cases where pediatric patients have improved but then hit a plateau.

This has opened my eyes to how many kids can be helped with pediatric adjusting. I wasn’t confident in my adjusting even though I have been trained under a pediatric chiropractor but having learned these techniques I feel much more confident.

I had a patient come in with a side preference as well as having just had a tongue and lip tie procedure. He wasn’t nursing well and was overall tense and fussy. Using the cranial adjusting taught in the course, specifically sphenoid, the baby has made a complete improvement. The parents now describe him as an easy baby to me who rarely fusses and he sleeps well.

Yes, I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to work with pediatric patients in any capacity. It has opened my eyes to how in-depth pediatric adjusting is (they are not ‘mini adults’ and helping the tougher cases sometimes goes beyond standard spinal adjusting).

I think other chiropractors would benefit from studying with you because I don’t believe many colleges teach enough about pediatrics, even basic adjusting, in their curriculum. Thank you!”

“I want to learn more about treating and evaluating children and infants with cranial techniques.

This program has great examinations, detailed adjusting protocol and great use of cranial adjusting

I feel more confident treating children. I feel like I have the skills to diagnose and treat infants and children.

I had a family come in with a 3 week old that wasn’t latching well during breast feeding. I adjusted the baby’s palate and had the baby latch while in my office. The baby latched easier. The mother told me she was having pain because the baby wasn’t latching. After 1 visit, the baby and mom were happy!

The course brings you from start to finish with adjusting cranial bones and the whole body of children. It is very easy to follow. Dr. Rosen is a great presenter.

The course is so detailed and well planned out. If you have any questions, Dr Rosen answers fast.

Thank you for having me in the program for a second year. I learned so much more going through it again.”

There is so much more that we as Chiropractors can do for our patients by incorporating cranial adjusting. Having measurable indicators has changed the way that I practice. My practice toolbox is so much fuller now.

I can’t stop seeing cranial asymmetries

I am currently working with a Plagio case, and the sphenobasilar adjusting has helped so much.

I would absolutely recommend this program. If we are going to make a difference in Paediatric Chiropractic, we all need to speak the same language.

There is a lot of information, and I had to refer back a lot. But I absolutely loved the course. I feel that I have only started on my SOT journey.
