“Taking this program has given me the knowledge to evaluate patients and give them the proper diagnosis to help move forward in their treatment plans. I am now able to assess plagiocephaly and have the skill set to help these patients in hopes to avoid the need for further modalities.

I absolutely love using the Occipital Lines as well as the trapezius fibers to help find where my patients need TLC. I openly talk to my patients about what I am feeling and doing and they love hearing about it! It has absolutely helped my table talk not only for pediatrics (to their parents) but for my adult patients as well. I am now assessing cranial bones on ALL of my patients. The adults love it for their sinus issues while my pediatrics are benefitting by their latches becoming stronger which means less gas and less colic.

I would recommend this course to others as a way to learn a new skill-set to better serve our patients. I loved that it was a yearlong course so each week I came to my patients with more information and more techniques to use.

I have nothing but great things to say about this course. The videos were descriptive; they come with a transcript as well as a workbook! You can ask questions on each video via the comment section, you can email the instructors, or you can ask your questions during the Doctor Share videos. There is no way you can fail this because they give you absolutely every tool you: need to succeed.

I appreciate you both so much! I appreciate your availability to help us. I appreciate your patience as I completed the course. I appreciated the positive feedback. I am so excited about your program that I am already starting to save up for future classes with you! I hope I am able to attend some seminars so I can meet you both in person! I cannot wait!”

Honestly adds tools to your toolbox – Gave me more confidence in adding to my existing knowledge to see more of the pediatric population – Very informative and able to better educate my patients

My profession is a part of who I am, how I think, how I move, how I live. So, it has impacted my personal as well as my professional life immensely by adding to my knowledge, opening a new world to me within our profession, exciting me again about what we are able to do within our profession and how we can change lives.

Baby with latching and feeding issues, where the baby then latched normally and making life easier for mom. Few days old baby with pussy, closed eye and deviating jaw when yawning, how eye immediately opened after applying some of the techniques we learned, and jaw was in a normal anatomical position.

I would absolutely recommend this course to others, it opened up a new world to me within our profession.

They were great, also enjoyed and learned a lot from Ken. Looking forward to meeting and seeing you in SA in Jan. Thanks again!!

“I have been using SOT® in clinic for a number of years and I wanted to become more proficient with incorporating cranials into the way I practice. I wanted to understand why my own child has the cranial distortions she has which is why the course was a bit hard for me.

Three takeaways: By the time a child gets to the age of 2, they have developed 80% of the adult gray and white matter volume. If there is stress in that system, it will affect the ability of the grey matter to develop, and it has lifelong consequences. If we minimize the cause of that stress on the system, that removes the primary subluxation in that 1st year of life and allows for normal neuro-development and ultimately optimal function of the nervous system,. Less is more. Use all of your skills when assessing a patient, not just the orthopaedic. We underutilize the things that sets us apart as chiropractors from other health professionals and that is our ability to palpate. Use this to feel more than just musculoskeletal, use it to feel fascia, tone, breath, CSF, CRI. Look beyond the secondary subluxations; find the underlying cause, the primary subluxation of the dis-ease for longer lasting relief for the nervous system, allowing optimal and normal developmental growth patterns.

This course has increased my understanding as to why and when I should implement adjustments at particular times and increased clinical clarity. I have a more effective and efficient evaluation of not only my paediatric patients but everyone under my care. I am changing the way I explain what chiropractic is and stop dumbing it down by minimizing explanations based on my perception of what they can understand, with the air to allow the patient to have the full understanding of the power of the nervous system. Some of the content was triggering for me due to PTSD from the birth trauma of my own daughter’s cranial distortion patterns. Prior to the birth of my daughter, I would have said that I was confident in basic cranial adjusting. After her birth, I lost all my confidence. I am not back to seeing paediatric patients and the number of them I am seeing is increasing dur to patient referrals.

Last week: mum of a 4 week old baby boy came to see me just for a spinal checkup because that’s what all her friends do with their kids. During the exam discovered that breastfeeding was extremely painful to the point she is considering quitting but would prefer not to. Evaluated and adjusted bub (absent left suck reflex, wasn’t using tongue effectively, mum has never seen him raise his tongue, right TMJ restriction), mum fed directly after and was in tears because that was the first non-painful feed she has experienced. Second visit in the week bub was poking out his tongue, lifting it comfortably, suck reflex bilateral was great, TMJ no longer restricted. Whilst we have more balancing to do mum was so happy that she can see the path to a long breastfeeding journey now. For me it really reinforced the power of chiropractic, minimal but focused adjustment to facilitate optimal and normal growth patterns. My place in my community is to support mums, raising a child is hard, but so much harder when their nervous system is less than optimal.

I have already recommended this course to a number of people in my network. In particular those in my clinic, not only for their further education but hopefully to continue to refine my skills and understanding when we have our own team education staff meetings. There are some fantastic clinical pearls throughout the whole course. When you’ve tried adjusting in a certain way, I like how you’ve offered what you should be looking at next to help balance the system and look beyond symptom relief, focusing on the primary subluxation. I found that really helpful, guiding me to what I should be looking for in my patients when I am not seeing the desired outcome. I have attained my basic & advanced certification here in Australia, which allows me to table educate for categories and CMRT events. I have attended many of the advanced cranial seminars offered in Australia, including intra-orals, TMJ, suturals, cranial specifics and non-specifics ( some of these multiple times). I think for SOT® practitioners in Australia who have undertaken the seminars available in Australia that your course offers a next level of understanding as to why and when we should be implementing particular SOT® techniques.

As a first time mum returning to work, it helped me with clinical clarity and confidence when working with the paediatric population. I really liked the platform it was presented in, the app allowed for easier re-watching when I couldn’t get a concept to stick, the booklets and transcripts helped to reinforce the trickier aspects of the theory components that my post-natal brain struggled to retain. As a chiropractor who is nearly 10 years in the workforce, the course has guided me to search deeper for the cause not just symptoms. And as an SOT® practitioner your course offers a next level of understanding as to why and when we should be implementing particular SOT® techniques.

The content was great. I struggled at times. I think if it were not for the course having set deadlines I very well could have stuck my head in the sand. I look forward to doing more courses with you in the future. My confidence has really picked up with your course and we are planning a second baby so on a personal level, your course has helped in unintended but positive ways, thank you.”

My three takeaways from this program:
1. Requires commitment, and time. 2. Changes your approach to chiropractic. 3. Improves your practice.

Taking this course has deepened my passion for treating paediatric patients, and therefore my paediatric patient base has grown without needing to increase advertising etc.

Since Starting, every time I have helped a mum and baby improve their breastfeeding journey, has had me in awe of SOT. The one Mum was about to introduce formula because her baby was not gaining weight from exclusive breast feeding, but after the first adjustment, her baby’s latch improved. The mum looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “it feels so different”. They have not had to introduce formula or bottles yet, and the baby is now 3 months old.

Yes, I would recommend this program. SOT is a different approach to chiropractic to what we were taught. I have learnt so much more over the 10 months, even though this is the second time I’ve done this course.

There is so much content, it is easy to get a little lost, especially if SOT is new to you. I found myself re-listening, re-reading over and over again. I think access to the videos for a little longer is incredibly valuable. Thank you Drs. Marty and Nancy for teaching your knowledge and creating a legacy.

This seminar is very complete and a perfect complement to the basic SOT seminary including the specific techniques and procedures for the treatment of babies and children.

This program changed my organization with the first visit with parents and babies and included a lot of good techniques for them.

I see a baby with tonsillitis grade 2, which I have started working on and who is beginning to see improvements in his breathing, and in this case, there is no medical treatment available to improve her condition or none has been successful.

I recommend this program for others because chiropractic care needs to include specific treatment for babies and children and other tools to improve the understanding of people about health care

Thank you for doing an online alternative program, because I’m working in a different country. It’s a lot of techniques and understanding and in general a lot of seminars are too short and sometimes do not give enough time and information to completely understand the program. And we all have a responsibility to try to give high quality of treatment, and it is really important when we study other techniques and this program gives time and information with the video is really good. Thank you a lot. I already feel more confident seeing baby patients.
