“After over 15 years in practice, I wanted to expand my knowledge in this area. So many lay people now are practicing craniosacral therapy and I strongly feel in our profession we really need to stand out and continue to expand on our knowledge and experience in this field especially if we want to work with children.

I loved learning and integrating how to look for structural versus meningeal patterns and I have new techniques for my tool box.

It was an intense ten months, but I feel that it helped me with my skills with working with infants, pediatrics and adults using cranial sacral therapy.

In practice, I usually had one to two seizure patients a year. When I first started the course I started to get one a month, now I am getting up to five new patients a month with seizures as a result of parents telling other parents what has been helping their kids

I would absolutely recommend this program. ! In chiropractic school we don’t get to learn too much about the skull other than basic landmarks. We don’t really cover movements of the bones, importance of fontanelles and when they should close, and in our school we did not learn cranial adjusting at all. This course provided all of that and more.

I have taken courses with Dr. Rosen through the ICPA and this class just provided so much more

Just a heartfelt thank you for the hard work you put into setting up the course. Also a huge thank you for your feedback during the Q&As, responses to all questions and CTA assignments, and Facebook.”

“Infants are harder to help than they used to be. Having been in practice over 30 years I need more tools and different options as I evaluate a child. Have always dabbled in cranial on infants and I wanted to expand my knowledge (Dr. Rosen is great at teaching this).

Three take away from the program: Loved the detailed presentations on cranial adjusting. The videos and demonstrations are excellent. My education was very minimal in the cranial area and SOT® courses over 30 years ago. If I had taken this in person I would have hit overload very quickly, the shorter weekly lessons gave me time to digest, re-watch and learn a new language, then work on the techniques taught. The spinal Evaluation procedures will help when I get stuck and need to come at something a different way than my normal.

Don’t do too much too fast. Dr. Rosen has a very systematic approach as he teaches and some things are multistep; part of me wants to follow exactly and do all, but reality is that I need to pick 2-3 corrections at a time and improve those and not try to do all. If need be, clear with what I know then go back to notes and add a new correction next time. Watch, submit questions , participate in the Q&A, so good! Repetition but some invaluable nuggets (see below). Loved learning from Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy are a great team and have SO much knowledge we can benefit from.

A specific instance where I used these techniques: New patient under 5 months, neither parent are patients but great grandparents are. Initial visit lots of cranial distortion very visible, MD talking helmet. I was a bit nervous in that I knew some but we were still proceeding through techniques. But I kept it simple, spinal adjustment then a couple of specific cranial releases (my mind wanted to “do” more but “don’t do too much too fast” came to my hands so I did a couple of the cranial/CSF finishing techniques we had covered, and Stopped! 2nd visit: I sure wish I had taken day 1 pictures! This infants head was a totally different shape, it was beautiful! Parents saw the absolute change and some of the subjective symptoms that were there had improved as well.

I believe it was in one of our Q&A sessions that Dr. Rosen covered a hyoid question from a doctor: I have an Adult patient who has improved greatly with his subjective complaint. He was very non chiro. initially but we have helped him greatly. We got to talking about his cervical spine surgery at least 3 years prior and that when they intubated him something went wrong. Since that time he has difficulty swallowing and more throat related issues. This Q&A session was within the 2 weeks prior to this conversation so I did the maneuver. Totally Great Response! I was stunned patient thrilled. We continued to do it a few treatments in a row, it feels different to palpate it now and will just check as needed. He quizzed me about how I knew to do what I did and It was one of this moments I told him that the good Lord had to have just placed him and my education in the right place at the right time as two weeks prior I would Not have known this maneuver and he had never told me about the swallowing problem until now.”

“For other chiropractors, I would share, how crucial the sphenoid bone is, I felt like in other courses and programs this keystone piece is not discussed as much – the relationship between the cranial bones and retained primitive reflexes – the cranial rhythm impulse technique, this is probably my favorite adjustment I learned from this class it has been so beneficial for so many of the littles I work with. For parents: – the importance of the first two years having adjustments with the growth of the nervous system – the palate shape and its influence on other aspects of nervous system development – the vagus nerve – I’m excited to dive into this more deeply.

Personally – I feel like this program has provided answers to questions I was having regarding corrections to hyper functioning toddlers. Professionally – I’m having more success with babies experiencing tongue and lip goes with subsequent latching issues.

It took three hours to push my son out during labor; he had a terrible cone head and was not breathing optimally. I used the cranial rhythm impulse technique because his CSF didn’t feel like it was flowing properly and his oxidation improved and the hematoma on his head reduced rapidly. The next day he still wasn’t latching and I checked his sphenoid and it showed signs of torsion. He latched right after. I should have done more maybe for determining patterns like you discuss but at the moment it felt like the right decision.

I love how the information is formatted in bite sized pieces. 15-30 minutes is a great amount of time. It’s sectioned out so you can easily refer back to information

I’m excited to continue learning with you.”

There is always room to improve your skills, more knowledge can level up your results, and it is crucial to take care of children as early as possible!

This program definitely challenged me in many ways and humbled me that after 19 years of practice, I was really a beginner in many ways!

I was caring for a hyperactive child and was able to assess that starting with cranial work was primary for him and with cranial work he calmed down noticeably within a few visits. I was able to do so much more with him because he wasn’t flying all over the room!

Yes, I recommend this program because there is so much more to learn than what you were taught in chiropractic school!

Thank you for providing such a deep dive and wealth of info!

“I have been practicing for 16 years with a focus on prenatal, pediatric and family care.

Our practice is tonal and neurological based and we see a lot of families who want optimal health and wellness for their families. In 16 years I’ve taken many seminars and courses for kids, pregnancy and families and I have to say that this is one of the most in depth and impactful programs.

Since taking the course I have implemented the additional exams and protocols and have seen an increase in optimal results from pain and symptoms to emotional, mental and learning outcomes. I love having ways to help calm and relieve over-stimulation for our kiddo’s in this overstimulated world. I really appreciate how much this is helping me as a practitioner and my patients overall experience.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us so that we can help so many more families.”
