My three take aways…. This work is much more powerful than I originally thought. For starters, just having a new lens to look through changed my eval and adjusting right away, before even applying any of the SOT techniques. My awareness allowed me to see subtle differences I had not necessarily been aware of; for example, differences in facial structure or even just watching children in my waiting area and how they moved and interacted. I noticed these subtle indicators in adults as well as when they enter the office or walk to the bathroom. I think some folks caught me evaluating their facial structure before a cervical adjustment because I paused longer than usual. Second take away… I need to continue my study of SOT, learning more about the basics and application in the adult population. This is powerful work, and more people need it than I realized. I must deepen my understanding so I may share this work with my entire community. Third… Drs. Rosen and Watson are true experts in the field; wow do I have a lot to learn! Taking this program helped to realize that expecting that I master SOT for the pediatric population by the end of the course is ridiculous. I can be hard on myself for not picking up very detail and learning exactly how to apply them in my day-to-day practice. I promised myself to take it slow and to not get frustrated. In the past I have found it nearly impossible to learn and integrate a new technique during my day-to-day at the office, introducing new techniques can be time consuming and slow the flow and as a solo practitioner with no staff it has been historically challenging. I have yet to be successful at fully integrating a new technique…this time I have promised myself to take it slow and make it happen over time. Principle 6- There is no process that does not require time.

Being patient with myself and allowing the time I need to truly learn and integrate the information. Learning is a process not an event (just like healing). Taking the course has also allowed me to embrace the fact that after almost 17 years of diversified adjusting my longevity requires I have a tool bag of lighter touch techniques that have the desired effect (maybe even more so than diversified adjusting).

A mom who comes regularly with her three children recently reported to me that her 7-year-old son has been complaining of headaches. Headaches so severe that he wasn’t sleeping well and she had to give him an OTC pain reliever to help. I have been adjusting this little guy at least monthly for a couple of years, and this was something new for him. I evaluated the sphenoid and frontal bones as well as the temporomandibular joints, found restriction and tenderness at both the sphenoid and temporal mandibular. After working on these areas as well as applying adjustments in the cervical spine, Vinny and mom reported a reduced incidence and severity of headaches after just one visit integrating SOT techniques. Over the course of the next few weeks, we continued to work in the same fashion and continued to see improvement with a near complete resolution after approximately a month. Vinny has also gotten glasses in the past weeks and with continued chiropractic care he has remained essentially headache free now for the last 2.5 months.

Most certainly I would recommend this course to others! The amount of information presented is a bit overwhelming, I applaud you for the way you have organized and structured the program. Allowing downloads of the transcripts, PowerPoints and Call to Action assignments have made returning to the information accessible and manageable. I’ve also appreciated the Q & A sessions, unfortunately I have not been able to log in live due to conflicts with my office hours, but the replays have been very helpful.

Thank you for combining your wealth of knowledge into a five-star course that has, and will continue to, help me better serve all the members of my community, but particularly the very special little ones.

I experienced powerful tools to add to my practice and I improved my self-confidence.

Sphenobasilar technic correction, temporal and occipital fibers for children with acute conditions: fever after a few minutes, feel better a few hours later.

I recommended my colleagues from Quebec province to meet you in the Montreal seminar.

I am very glad to continue.

This program was really helpful at breaking down when and where to adjust specific areas. Before I took this course I looked at cranial adjusting, not as specific as I do now. I also really appreciated learning the spinal techniques in this class as well.

I personally was a baby that was born with a forced delivery and had many cranial misalignments that luckily were corrected when I was younger. This class helped me appreciate that as well as gave me clinical knowledge on how to help my patients as well.

I have seen a great increase of cesarean births this year and have luckily got referrals from different specialists to come and see me within the first couple weeks of life to make sure that we are correcting those cranial misalignments.

I would recommend this course to others. I do think it would be easier to learn in person and hands on but I think that this course has great information that is so helpful in practice.

Thank you for the material in this course and I look forward to using some of the material!

“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 took this course to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the world of pediatric adjusting and chiropractic. I had heard the level of skill that Dr. Marty teaches is unmatched in the profession today. I had to get plugged in somewhere!
My three takeaways:
1. My certainty in communicating the need for chiropractic intervention early.
2. The complexity of the cranium and its impact on the developing health and wellbeing of the pediatric patient.
3. Better clinical exam for pediatrics from newborn to child, and determination of findings to better know progress in a child and their care plan progress.

Personally, this program has given me a different perspective with approach to my own children. Professionally has helped me with certainty and continuation of learning how to be the best doctor to my patients but set myself apart in the community.

I have used the balance of the sphenobasilar junction on a regular basis with our patients and even some adults who suffer from chronic issues. It’s almost like we haven’t had a pediatric patient NOT respond to our care since implementing even just a few of the protocols taught here.

There is nothing like this in the profession. While the content is thick and heavy at times, If you want to truly understand the complexity of the pediatric patient, then this is the only course to take you there.

This program with Dr. Marty and Dr. Watson is at an unmatched level. Thank you all for the work you have done to make it so easily accessible. I look forward to attending in person seminars and training.”
