    “I have been seeing an increased volume of infant and pediatric clients, and I realized that my knowledge and skills were limited. I was hoping to gain more confidence, clinical certainty and effectiveness in helping these kids to a greater degree.

    Understanding cranial motion is absolutely essential for properly providing chiropractic care to infants and babies. Many of the subluxation patterns that I so often see in adults have actually been in place since birth. It is imperative that those of us interested in adjusting babies become experts at doing so.

    I have gained significantly more confidence and certainty when working with my young clients, especially infants, babies and toddlers, as well as my ability to relate to the parents the importance of proper chiropractic care.

    I have now had two cases where a child was delayed in motor development, one with crawling, the other with walking, where I was able to identify that the issue was primarily due to top-down interference, and was able to correct subluxation effectively enough to get the children making developmental leaps within the first week.

    This course provided me with a much deeper understanding of where, when and how subluxation shows up in the early stages of life. It also provided me with a deep, complex understanding of the infant cranium and what proper development and motion SHOULD look like, as well as a plethora of adjusting techniques I can use to help address the signs of subluxation safely and effectively in young children. Taking this course fills a heavily overlooked gap in both understanding the cranium AND understanding infants/baby adjusting, in general.

    I did find it difficult to follow along with the intense amount of information and to apply it all as I went. I think it was understated that we should plan to attend a hands-on seminar, either beforehand, midway through or afterward, to help integrate and apply the info. Additionally, and perhaps more easily, I think it would be of great benefit to spend more time going over cranial motion dynamics. I know that this was done early in the course, but I often felt, if only I could visualize the mechanics of the cranium more closely, I’d have understood how to apply some of the more challenging techniques more effectively.”

    My three takeaways:
    1. Put your thinking caps on as this will challenge you – in a positive way!
    2. A thorough understanding of the functioning of the developing neurological system.
    3. Numerous practical diagnostic and adjusting techniques for a variety of conditions.

    This program has improved my critical thinking overall which has made me a better Chiropractor most especially when treating paediatrics. It has highlighted the value of getting to the source of the problem and dealing with that dysfunction.

    I treated a 3-week-old baby girl for several issues of which included plagiocephaly. At 4 months, there was significant improvement from the techniques learnt in this program.

    I would most definitely recommend this course! Extremely insightful, packed with knowledge, practical diagnostic and treatment techniques with easy-to-follow content on the numerous platforms available.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the program! I am confident this program will grow me from strength to strength in improving my skills in dealing with paediatric cases. I already feel so much more confident in treating paediatrics. The content of the program was very insightful and interesting!

    You really learn to assess and treat the cranium as a whole, learning about how all the pieces interact. There are so many techniques to learn in this incredible course. It takes a lot of repetition and practice for these techniques to become second nature.

    I feel so much more confident treating infants now that I have more treatment tools. I don’t have any amazing stories to share yet, but I feel that overall, my care is more comprehensive.

    Yes, I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a deep dive into pediatric chiropractic adjusting.

    Three takeaways from this program has been 1) Using a thorough system of analysis doesn’t have to take a long time; 2) Analysis for cranial subluxations is equally important as that for spinal subluxations; 3) The sphenobasilar junction should be checked on every patient, regardless of age.

    This program deepened my conviction in the fact that the earlier a child is checked for subluxation patterns the healthier that child’s life will be. It has improved my ability to care for the whole body – not just the spine, not just the symptom but the whole person.

    I used the fruit jar technique on one of my patients that was dealing with chronic congestion and sinusitis. They felt a noticeable improvement in drainage and their ability to breathe.

    I would absolutely recommend this program to every pediatric chiropractor who wants to strengthen their systems of analysis. This program has strengthened my confidence in where to (and where not to) adjust and how best to adjust for the best outcomes for our littlest patients.

    I had such a great experience taking this course. It was the most value packed online course I’ve ever taken and I plan to take other PPI courses. Thank you for taking the time to create such valuable programs that can reach all over the world!

    “My practice is currently very maternity focused, and I wanted to upskill to offer a similar level of competence and confidence to the newborns.

    My three takeaways from this program:
    1. It is VERY content heavy, so make sure you’ve got your concentration cap on!!
    2. It is extraordinarily thorough in terms of content and delivery. I was concerned about doing a purely online course in a hands-on based discipline, but the thoroughness of the materials presented really alleviated that concern. All bases were covered, and to be honest, I probably absorbed more of the information than if it was presented live at a seminar.
    3. Do the homework as it’s presented! I decided I wanted to review the material before completing the CTA’s, but I ran out of time and ended up stressing myself out!

    This program has most definitely given me more confidence in my work, both in a pediatric and adult patient base. This confidence has also impacted my personal life in a positive manner, although I think my husband may be a little sick of hearing me talk about ‘the new baby that I saw today’!!

    I had a 4 week old brought into me, lethargic, constipated, and generally flat. After clearing the spine, I used the Hypofunction technique on him, and the change was phenomenal. He loved the technique itself, you could just see the way his whole body relaxed, and his Mum reported multiple dirty nappies a day afterwards, and a more alert, engaged and happy baby afterwards.

    Without a doubt, I would recommend this program. The content delivered is exceptional, and has the potential to set you up as a leader in the Pediatric field. The value for money is fantastic, and the program delivers the information in a very ordered and considered manner.

    Right from the get go I was excited about this program. The content is so well put together and delivered, that it really affords a deep dive into chiropractic pediatrics, and especially cranial work. The videos were cleverly done, and really allowed you to see the contact points, and the basics of the movements required. I’m not actually convinced that I would have gotten more out of the program if it had been an in person seminar (or series of them!), and the opportunity to go back and watch and re-watch the cranial techniques was gold in terms of gaining a proper understanding of the technique, and confidence in applying them.

    Thank you so much for the time you have both taken in putting together this program, and in making yourselves available to answer questions and clear up concerns. I have thoroughly enjoyed this program, and look forward to gaining proficiency and then hopefully mastery of the techniques, which is most definitely going to take longer than the 10 months we’ve already spent!”
