My three takeaways:
1. This course provides a good baseline with which to continue SOT studies, explaining the big picture behind each category and how it’s important to address the body in layers.
2. I learned many pediatric specific analysis and techniques that aren’t taught in a standard SOT program.
3. This program reinforces the importance of early intervention.

It’s been great to learn from Drs. Rosen & Watson, given their years of practice experience and depth of knowledge in SOT. It’s helped me better serve my pediatric population.

I would recommend this course to others, but I feel it would be helpful for the person to have some baseline in SOT prior to taking the course.

My three takeaways from this program:
1. All the cranial work.
2. The SOT technique.
3. Overall pediatric information about nervous system development and the impact of different subluxations on the bodies.

I have gained more knowledge, more confidence and more clinical efficiency. I feel more confident when working with babies and I also have much faster results when working with babies with cranial deformities.

So far, I have used the techniques I learned mostly with babies with torticollis and plagiocephaly, with great, precise and fast results.

Absolutely would recommend this program. I think this program is a must for every chiropractor working with children and babies. SOT technique is very effective, and the knowledge offered by this program is essential and has greatly improved my practice.

It is a very complete program, and I enjoyed it.

I am a board-certified lactation consultant as well and teach chiropractors how to integrate this first milestone into their practices. This course will be suggested to all my students due to the sheer depth that you all covered in regard to 1. cranial work, 2. ascending vs descending patterns as well as the 3. soft tissue variations that need to be considered when helping these babies get to the breast.

This program has such depth, and I know I will be a lifelong student of your work. Your teaching has been implemented already into our clinic, we will continue to educate our patients based on your models and I will use your analysis and techniques on our staff and see the results with my own kiddos and family! As mentioned above, all my students need to have your work in their lives.

I will pick what you taught me with just the sphenoid and palate work. What a difference palate work makes with a breastfeeding baby! I define a successful breastfeeding visit with 3 parameters. Can the baby latch? Is it painful for mom? Did the baby transfer enough milk based on the size of the baby’s stomach, age and weight? All these parameters can be and have been accomplished by checking the sphenoid and correcting it.

I will suggest this to all my students! The depth and care put into your classes is exceptional. Thank you for making this online and so easy to do on our own time!

Thank you for stepping up and doing this not only for our profession but for helping us be better docs for our communities!

“I chose to take this course to enhance my experience of what I already know w/CST and adjustments. I also wanted to have more experience applying SOT® techniques for my pediatric population.

Three valuable things I would share w/colleagues:
1. Attention to detail in recognizing difficult problem areas and how to solve them.
2. Understanding in-depth anatomy is a must.
3. Excellent job at tying all the concepts together.

I have been a physical medicine specialist for almost 17 years. This course has helped me to find my niche and really educate not only my patients but my students how important it is for us to articulate and help our pediatric population in a different way without overwhelming them with drugs – showing that hands on modalities can help w/healing processes. While it took me a while to get through this course, the biggest take off for me recently was after Class 4 working w/the concept of sphenobasilar junction correction after I do a frenectomy release. Feeding coordinations have improved significantly post frenectomy. I was doing CST prior to release but when I fine-tuned it after the class; I noticed a big change post frenectomy w/improved latch. It doesn’t matter how long one has been practicing or doing similar work. You can always learn more but even better enjoy a different perspective to help enhance your skills. I have found this class to be invaluable to me. I never stop learning. And Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson made this class very user friendly! For me, I am the first ND (I believe) to take this course w/physical medicine background. I feel more providers need this course that are working with the pediatric population. When we look at environmental factors as well as internal factors, there’s so much more we can do with touch. I would encourage this class to be open to NDs, chiropractors and osteopaths. I just want to say thank you both for being patient with me getting through this course. While the videos were difficult to lip read, I found the transcripts to be helpful and going through the modules and exercises was a fantastic reminder and tool to process the information given in the course. I appreciate the accommodations you made to make this class accessible for me. Thank you both again so much!”

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.
