Wow, what a journey the last 10 months have been! Firstly, I would like to thank you so much for making this course possible for South African Chiropractors. I have been eyeing it out for a few years and am so grateful that you were able to make it possible for us. I am so looking forward to meeting you both at the hands-on seminar in January. I live
in Cape Town and will be driving up to JHB and making a road trip there. I will be travelling with my 3 kids (I am still breastfeeding 2 of them).

It was more challenging than I expected to keep up with the weekly lectures, however I re-watched the videos multiple times, practiced extensively on my own children, met up with colleagues and implemented a lot into practice.

Content:
The course content was exceptionally rich and detailed. I especially enjoyed the modules on cranial movement and its impact on the nervous system. This has completely transformed my understanding and confidence in assessing and supporting paediatric patients. I also appreciated the practical demonstrations throughout the course, which made it easy to integrate the information into real-life applications.

Presentation:
The lectures were clear and well-paced. I found the visual demonstrations particularly helpful in understanding the hands-on components. Even when life got busy (especially during my pregnancy!), the online format and recorded sessions allowed me to re-watch and absorb the material at my own pace.

Value:
The value of this course has been immense. It has deepened both my theoretical and practical understanding, and I already see the positive impact of these techniques in my own family (I have been adjusting my kids using SOT and see amazing results) as well as in practice. The modules I had completed and implemented before starting maternity leave
meant I was finally able to “help” those really difficult cases that had more complex subluxation patterns. The knowledge gained has made me even more passionate about paediatric chiropractic care.

Implementation:
I implemented the assessment and adjusting protocols almost immediately into practice as I learned them. I also used what I’ve learned on my newborn while on maternity leave, and it’s been incredible to witness how effective these techniques are when applied correctly. For example, using the fruit jar and CSF techniques helped clear my son’s congestion when he had a cold at two weeks old — such a powerful confirmation of the method’s effectiveness. Also, since he has been having his nervous system checked since birth using the SOT protocol (we had an uncomplicated straight forward home birth as did my other 2 kids) he has been the most content baby, not even fussing at the 6-week mark. I’m very excited to bring the entire skill set into my practice when I return in the new year.

Suggestions:
At the moment- there are no suggestions that come to mind. Between the comment section, Facebook group and Dr sharing meetings we had ample room to have any questions answered. I look forward to the in-person seminar as it would be great to have the feedback as to whether I am doing some of the practical things correctly.

Overall, this course has been a truly transformative experience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion so generously — I look forward to continuing to learn and grow within this community for many years to come.

“I’ve been utilizing more cranium work with some of our hyperactive patients. So far not a lot of changes but it has only been a couple weeks.

Yes! I would recommend this program. It’s helped open my eyes to a more complete analysis as well as learned about stuff I didn’t think we could directly adjust (such as palate spacing, specific plagiocephaly work, etc.)

Thank you for the help and keep up the work!”

“I enrolled in this course to enhance my understanding of craniosacral therapy and its potential benefits for specific pediatric conditions.

1. The course is filled with a wealth of information. 2. I hadn’t fully grasped the profound impact of craniosacral therapy on our bodies or the significance of accumulated CSF fluid. 3. Prioritize checking the sphenobasilar region first.

This program has personally aided me in addressing sensory processing issues in my nearly 3-year-old, who is a sensory seeker. This has significantly contributed to her calming down. Additionally, my youngest, approaching two, experienced recurring sinus congestion for months, and now we’ve achieved better management. Patients resembling my own children have shown remarkable responses.

I treated a patient with recurrent ear infections, even after having tubes inserted that later fell out. By focusing on the sphenobasilar and employing a technique to drain the Eustachian tube, his chronic ear infections disappeared within two visits. I look forward to observing the ongoing impact on this particular patient.

I highly recommend this course to others; it has been incredibly insightful and beneficial. The content is rich with valuable information, and the practical applications have made a positive impact on my understanding and skills. If you’re seeking a course that combines scientific knowledge with real-world effectiveness, this is the one for you. I wholeheartedly endorse it.

My experience with this course has been transformative. The in-depth exploration of craniosacral therapy has significantly expanded my chiropractic toolkit. The practical insights into addressing various conditions, coupled with a focus on the sphenobasilar region, have proven remarkably effective in my practice. I believe other chiropractors would benefit immensely from this course as it seamlessly blends endless knowledge with hands-on techniques, offering a valuable and comprehensive approach to patient care.

Thank you very much!”

“1. It gives a good foundation for infant and pediatric adjusting techniques and protocols that help take any guesswork out of seeing patients in this age rage.

2. Ten months is a long time to commit to a class and might seem intimidating at first, but the pacing is done well enough that even if you fall a few classes behind it’s easy to catch up and not feel overwhelmed

3. There is a lot of information and some of it is definitely more immediately applicable in day to day practice, but I can see the importance of everything that was provided. In fact I never once felt like I was just being given filler information to draw anything out.

I originally took this class because I wanted to get more comfortable with seeing patients in this demographic. While I do feel more confident in my abilities now I also feel like this has opened up a whole new world regarding my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of the work we do. Basically While I do have a little more confidence in my abilities I also now know enough to understand how little I actually know. It’s kind of caused a bit of a prospective shift with how I understand my adult patients as well.

I have a few younger patients who are afraid of adjusting because it looks like it hurts mom/dad and they’ve had chiropractors in the past that treated them like little adults and it was uncomfortable. So doing a few of the evaluations and adjustments I learned in this class have helped at least three kids in my office start to trust and benefit from chiropractic to the point that they’ve told a parent that they wanted to come back to see me. I’ve specifically used some of the newborn assessment tools and adjustments to help a few babies with feeding issues and dural restrictions. Additionally I now have a few tools to help young patients dealing with ADD and ADHD.

I’d pretty much recommend this course for all the reasons I previously stated. Additionally I really wish for all the money I spent on grad school they could have spent at least one class teaching about pediatrics and infants. That being said, this course was definitely better than anything a school you probably offer as a core curriculum so it’s definitely worth the time and cost.”

“My takeaway from this program is that we need to be more specific with techniques, we can do more thorough exams, and more attention needs to be placed on cranial structures.

This program has impacted me professionally and personally by giving me more confidence in my practice and allowing me to give recommendations with more authority and certainty.

I have used ear infection protocol many times and have seen immediate improvements in drainage and pain. I gained so many useful tools and protocols that I will be using on a daily basis.

I was very pleased with the information provided and felt the timeline of videos was adequate.”
