This program is incredibly thorough. Lots of information pertinent to being a great pediatric chiropractor. Gaining and understanding of the material presented provides an incredible skill set that will improve your outcomes. However, staying up to date with the modules is important as the quantity of information is vast. Reviewing the modules to ensure you retain this info is also important. 2) Practice these techniques during the modules and after. This brings greater certainty and skill when applying them to your new and existing practice members. 3) While adjusting a paediatric population can sound and feel daunting at times, if you fall back on the principles taught in this program, it provides answers for the times where you don’t know where to begin. Review the print material regularly so this becomes more natural for you.

Throughout this program, I have found myself becoming more confident in my approach with adjusting kids. Having this improved confidence has also helped improve my certainty, which provides the parents of the children I am seeing with more confidence in me. This shared improved confidence translates into a better outcome as parents choose to continue with care, especially with those more difficult kids that need more care. From this course, I find myself enjoying seeing kids even more and have great joy throughout the day.

For me, the biggest take away from this program was not an application of one specific technique that had an amazing outcome, but the ability to know where to go next. My biggest problem prior to this program was I had lots of information in my head about how to care for the pediatric population, but now how to put it all together. Seeing how Dr. Rosen moves from assessment to correction gave me clarity on ‘where to go to next’. This wasn’t just with one patient, but with every patient, which improved the outcomes for them all and gave me more confidence at the same time.

I would highly recommend the program to anyone considering working with kids. SOT and Dr Rosen & Watson’s approach in applying SOT principles & techniques to kids ensures that you have the confidence and skills to manage all the common and uncommon conditions and syndromes experienced by kids, while also providing confidence to the parents. It delivers an incredible understanding of the anatomy & physiology of the developing baby and blends that with easy to follow and progressive assessment and corrective techniques that are safe, gentle and effective. What more could you want? If mastering chiropractic for the pediatric population is your vision, or if you are just looking for some extra help, this course delivers everything you will need and more.

Thank you both for your dedication to the chiropractic profession, especially the pediatric population & the chiropractors looking to master their skills. The breadth of knowledge you share within the program is incredible and something that I know I will use for the rest of my career. Without the dedication of you both, I fear that not only would some of these techniques get lost, resulting in our ability to care for kids to also suffer, but less chiropractors would also have less enjoyment in their day to day lives. Again, thank you both for your dedication to the profession and the health of kids globally. The profession continues to need masters like you both to help guide the knowledge and skills of less experienced chiropractors. This ensures the greatest possible health outcomes of our pediatric population. This program goes a long way to delivering this.”

“I had just completed the pregnancy course with you and wanted to keep studying/learning more (as I am passionate about continuing to be able to serve my community to the best of my ability). So the Pediatric programme was the next step as I felt like I needed more understanding in cranial work but also because I had some tricky cases of little ones that I didn’t know how to help.

My takeaways are to Keep up with the work as you go and implement it into your office as you go – Don’t be afraid to ask questions and post to the class page – Getting a skull to practice on is really important to help cement what you are learning.

Personally and professionally it has increased my confidence but also inspired me to keep on learning and keep aiming to master this content. Seeing something once doesn’t make you a master

Early in the course I sent in pictures of a twin that I was looking after who had big cranial issues, Dr. Rosen gave me direction based off his photos. As the course went on I learnt more and understood why he said what he did. And slowly but surely we have seen some great changes, most noticeably last week when we took some new photos and can see some great changes in his head shape (Dad has been questioning if there was a difference and Mum felt like there was…..the pictures showed there was!)

I recommend this program. You will gain great assessment skills, indicators to track at future progress exams and the ability to explain what you are finding and how it affects the child

This is the best Pediatric course that I have taken to date; it is big on content that is immediately applicable to practice no matter where you are in your career

Thank you so much for being so incredible Martin and Nancy!! Love studying with you and I am sad that the course is over 🙁 “

My three main takeaways would be that this program helps: 1) Recognising the unique structural and neurological characteristics of the paediatric spine and cranium, particularly in infants and toddlers, and the necessity of adapting SOT protocols to use extremely gentle, light-force techniques; 2) focusing on neurological and developmental foundations – learning how SOT protocols can be used to optimize nervous system function and potentially assist with common childhood issues linked to nervous system interference, such as feeding difficulties (e.g. latch issues), colic, sleep disturbances, and motor development; and 3) learning an indicator system to identify subluxation and compensatory patterns unique to infants and children, allowing to determine when, where, and how to apply gentle adjustments with precision.

Professionally, this program instilled more confidence within me to deal with complex cases, especially with training reinforcing the critical importance of early-life care and helped me communicate more effectively with my parents whose kids I’m treating. On a personal level, the training provided a profound sense of purpose and confidence, increasing professional fulfilment being able to positively influence a child’s health at such a formative stage, which I found to be a deeply rewarding experience. Furthermore, the program really deepened my understanding of neurodevelopment.

There are so many wonderful moments so it’s difficult to highlight a specific one, but I initially tried incorporating the new techniques here and there until everything was better integrated and flowed smoother. I think my a-ha moments came from amazing feedback from my parents post-treatment which is now much more frequent in comparison to what I have received in the past. This is really special! Especially when dealing with unsettled infants and parents telling you they cry for about 21 hours of a 24-hour day and within one session the parents already notice a massive change

Yes, yes and YES I would recommend this program! First, I don’t know any other programs that cover cranial work as in depth as this one. This program also covers neurology and development in a way that I know every single paediatric chiropractor would benefit from adding to their toolbox. Having taken this program also helped with growing my practice, because more parents referred friends with infants to me. The depth of knowledge gained in this program is immensely rewarding and professionally empowering.

Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. The world is a better place thanks to you guys! Very well done!

“I BEGGED Nancy to open up a space for me for this course and I’m SO grateful! When Marty taught for ICPA it was one of my favorite courses and I realized there were things in practice I do every day that I learned from him. I wanted to deepen my knowledge and understanding of cranial work as it’s so powerful in practice.

My three takeaways:

1. This program really went deep into cranial techniques.
2. There was so much follow up support with the love sessions.
3. The homework was really helpful at keeping me on track and implementing what I had been learning.

I feel like I’m really just starting. I’ve been in practice for 11 years now and I feel like this course is what I’ve been looking for. Now I have a better understanding of the cranial system. I also get frustrated when we get compared to craniosacral therapists, now I KNOW I have a much more robust training and technique.

I see so many babies with breastfeeding issues. I have been doing oral work for years now but this course gave me so much specificity for the palate, SBJ and facial bones. I love the Sutherland’s cant hook and the fruit jar techniques. Those have been a game changer in my office for babies breastfeeding and breathing,

YES YES YES, I would recommend this program. This is the master class! Any doc who does cranial and or sees babies should do this.

This course is so much more than a cranial class. It goes in depth in neurology, anatomy, physiology, brain development, practice management, marketing and personal growth. It really pushed me to be better and we all owe that to our communities and to our profession. I felt so supported by Marty and Nancy and I’m so excited to continue learning from them.”

“I took this program to improve my examination skills and to develop a better understanding of SOT®. My three takeaways:
1. Better examinations
2. Specific findings to know exactly where you need to adjust
3. Improved palpation skills.

Personally, this is adding more tools to my toolbox to help patients. Professionally, being able to take a deeper dive into assessing the patient and having a sound protocol to help them improve their health. I have been working with an infant with congestion. After working through sphenobasilar, temporal, frontal and palate, parents have noticed an improvement in the congestion.

I would definitely recommend this program to other practitioners. There is a lot of information, but each module you are able to apply skills learned to practice on Monday. This course has been great. For me, it’s going to be the continued practice of the techniques taught. I loved this program. I wish I would not have fallen behind and wish I would have made the live Q&As. For me its practice, making charts and improving my palpatory skills.”
