“In my community there aren’t many pediatric chiropractors and being one of the few, I promised myself that I would do my best to learn as much as I possibly could to better myself as a pediatric chiropractor. There’s no better way to do that than by learning from Drs. Rosen and Watson who are experts in the field of pediatric chiropractic. Three takeaways I received from this course:
1. Proper chiropractic care in the pediatric population cannot be underestimated especially because that is when the body system is most vulnerable and developing very quickly.
2. Craniosacral and SOT® are very highly effective techniques when it comes to treating the pediatric population.
3. Less is better.

I feel like I still have much to learn from the course. With that being said though, I do feel like taking this course has given me a different perspective and ability on how I do my evaluation and treatment on the pediatric population. Thus, slowly building my confidence and skills.

In my practice I deal with many tongue tie and lip tie issues. Currently I had a 3 month baby get a revision done but continue to have difficulties with breastfeeding which left the mother hurting and discouraged. After doing some intra oral correction and the fruit jar procedure, we were able to get a significant improvement in the baby latch and feeding which created less pain for the mother.

I would highly recommend this course to other chiropractors. Dr. Rosen does an amazing job of explaining, simplifying, and demonstrating the methodology behind his evaluation and adjusting protocol. Which in turn inspires you to want to get to that same level of expertise.

You don’t realize the lack of knowledge and skills you have when it comes to treating the pediatric population until you go through this course. I’m very thankful to Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson for taking the time to put this course together to help other chiropractors like myself become better and successful in treating the pediatric population. It’s truly an honor to learn from Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson!”

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.

You will learn how to assess infants using visual assessments and what they mean, tips on how to treat infants with certain conditions, and how to perform an age-appropriate examination on children from birth and up

At times I felt frustrated with the program. I feel like a pre course in SOT would have been beneficial since I haven’t used it for 30 years. Other moments were “a ha” moments when your class would help me to understand what was truly going on with a case in my practice.

I don’t have a specific case, as I have been treating infants for almost 30 years. What it did allow me to do was fine tune some of the things I was already doing

I would recommend it to others as I feel it is one of the most thorough courses on pediatric adjusting I have seen.

“I wanted to build up my confidence in treating the pediatric population so I was hoping to learn effective adjustment techniques and also learn when to use them.

1. Everything you learn is comprehensive from the first visit, ROF, exams, and adjustments.
2. Learning the indicators gives you so much knowledge about how to effectively evaluate a patient’s nervous system and helps you determine which adjustments to use.
3. Everything you learn in this program is a huge confidence boost to you as a practitioner. They give you everything you need to improve your skills and feel confident in using them in your practice.

This program has given me more confidence overall both personally and professionally. I feel like I’m a better practitioner now, which improves your life in both a personal and professional way.

I started using the Ortho-Bionomy techniques on various patients and saw immediate results and relief from the patient which was very encouraging for both of us.

I would definitely recommend this program. You learn so much that overall makes you a better doctor.

I had a great experience learning from both Drs. Rosen and Watson. They are both extremely knowledgeable in this technique and clear on communicating it to others. They were also always available and responsive to any questions you had about the material. Their hands-on seminars combined with this online program really helped solidify my knowledge in learning and using this technique.
One of the most thorough programs I’ve taken. I learned so much and it was worth the investment!”

This program creates confidence in why chiropractic is so important in the paediatric population, teaches multiple skills in examination and treatment procedures, and there is the most wonderful support from Dr. Martin,Dr. Nancy and Dr. Ken.

Professionally it has greatly improved my confidence and skill set.

I see a lot of acute conditions in a primary health care setting so the skills in treating specific conditions such as asthma, sinus, otitis media etc. has proven invaluable with great results.

Yes, definitely would recommend this program but it takes commitment, dedication and time but your efforts are well rewarded with skills that are going to help not only our paediatric population but also the adults we see in our practices.

Thank you so much for all you did and continue to do for us and our profession.
