Three Takeaways:
1. This gives you such a great foundation for this type of work!
2. Stay on top of the classes and put max effort into the assignments to help retain the info.
3. Practice the techniques as you learn them. Patients LOVE it when you learn new skills. I’m honest about being in the learning phase, but tell them what I find and ask if I can practice a few new techniques. I’ve been blown away with the results, even as someone who is still learning how to put entities I’ve learned, into practice.

This course was definitely a big commitment, but I actually love how it is our together in weekly lessons. I have taken bits that I’ve learned and applied them to my pediatric and adult patients and I have seen some amazing changes! I love how much more confident I am when I see asymmetries and recurring patterns, to know what more is involved and where to go next. With babies, it’s been amazing to help with those asymmetric head shapes that parents see, but doctors brush off. You will build their confidence in you as you validate them! I’m so happy I made the commitment to this course. I still have a lot to practice and learn, but that is how it’s supposed to work. Always be learning 🙂

I’ve really been happy to fully understand eye orbits and jaw deviations and know exactly what is going on, but I’ve even had many adult patients with an onset of vertigo and sinus issues clear right up after months of struggle. It’s been a game changer for those things that just aren’t responding to my regular techniques.

Yes I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their clinical skills, especially with the pediatric population.

I’m just so grateful I can learn from the best! Thank you for being so patient, and taking so much care and consideration of your students!

“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.”

“I decided to take this course to refine my adjusting skills for the pediatric population. I was hoping to simply gain more knowledge and feel more comfortable with that population.

Online access makes it easier to go at your own pace and is more convenient to balance family, work and education. Very informative and supportive group throughout the program.

I am definitely more comfortable with cranials now as my knowledge prior to the program was very minimal and I have also started implementing some of it on the adult population. I also stepped up my game in spinal adjusting with the pediatric population.

I have a child with ADHD who came due to issues with sleeping. He would wake up in the middle of the night and go join his parents every single night. I have been adjusting him and doing cranial and while he still wakes up in the middle of the night, we still have been seeing improvements. He has been falling asleep faster, he has now transferred to the couch instead of his parents’ bedroom and he is sleeping longer. We are slowly working our way towards better sleeping habits.

I think there should be a disclaimer that a big part of the program is intra-oral adjustments. As a chiropractor working in NYS, I will not be able to use any of these techniques and I feel like my money was wasted in some kind of way. It is very informative, but I think the program is too long. I feel like it should be given in bouts with some “resting” periods so that we don’t lose track or interest due to the heaviness of the material.

Chiropractic school does not teach us enough about pediatric adjusting and I think this program is a great addition to our training.”

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!

“This program filled in some empty spots in my cranial treatment and cleared up some questions on visual diagnostics, especially with the occiput. Cleared up some semantics from past SOT training (occipital sideslip/compression). Finally, I got a pedi brochure and exams formally completed. Required me to focus on improving and fine tuning my pedi cranial.

So many…. Most recently, my grandbaby had to be taken 3 weeks early by C section (such a violent procedure!) due to a complete placenta previa, so there was no other safe way out that we knew of. We had tried homeopathy, but it was too little too late. Anyway, the little peanut was falling asleep nursing, tearing up Momma’s nipples, and frantic while trying to latch. She had the classic Occipital Extension Presentation, low right frontal, intermaxillary ridging and wide open fontanelles – all of them; wide open all the way down the sagittal suture, too! While she was (painfully) nursing, I would shorten the Falx and widen the Tent, also working the jaw muscles and CRI. Her latch and sucking improved and all nursing pain would stop as long as I was actively doing this cranial, but would return later that day. After nursing I would work on the oral sutures. After 2 daily visits, 80-90% nursing issues were resolved. Baby opened wider to get a better latch, was no longer gnawing the nipple and did not exhaust so quickly while nursing. Just one of many, many.

I would recommend this program. This is so much more beneficial than those weekend pedi classes that give so little useful info. In infants, the cranium and dural meningeal system is 90%.

Prior SOT training would be helpful. Thank you for improving the quality of pedi care in our profession. No one should be treating peds without this training. Lots of love to y’all!!”
