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 wanted to take this course to up level my ability to help the many pediatric (and also adult) members of my practice. I’ve taken a couple of your other courses and have really enjoyed implementing the things I learned to help some of my toughest cases begin to change in meaningful ways.

If you’re struggling with your spinal or upper cervical adjustments holding, cranial work can be the key to creating lasting change. Understanding how the cranium impacts nursing, development, stress etc. and how to gently correct imbalances is game changing for your effectiveness in pediatric practice. I learned so much here that isn’t available at school, and it has greatly improved my patient care.

I’m becoming known locally as the Dr who can help with things beyond back pain. Testimonials have become much more life changing and honestly performing the cranial work has allowed me to become more connected with my practice members.

I’ve been working with an entire family and two of their children have cranial distortions that have affected growth and development. Using the techniques learned in this class, we’ve been able to avoid a helmet for their youngest and their oldest is speaking more clearly and regulating much better than before.

SOT and cranial work in general often felt overwhelming to me because it was so different from diversified (the only technique taught at my school), but this course has broken it down into manageable and meaningful parts to be able to confidently use what you learn each and every week.

Thank you both for sharing your wisdom, I appreciate you and so do my practice members!”

“Pediatrics has always been my passion when it comes to a field in Chiropractic. I wanted to learn more and have more tools to add to my Chiropractic Toolbox.

My there takeaways: Learning different methods of evaluating – Putting it all together in 1 course – Refreshing knowledge gathered over the years.

Personally this course has re-ignited and boosted my passion for pediatrics. Professionally it is making me look at my pediatric patients with a different view.

Using the Sagittal Suture Spread Pain Control method on a 6 month baby and feeling them relax and chill out in my hands.

I would recommend this program because it enables us to add more to our toolbox.

I love studying with the Rosens. They have so much passion and knowledge around pediatric chiropractic that it’s not hard to take onboard their passion.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge – it really is inspiring.”

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!

“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.”
