“To hone my examination and adjusting skills, more particularly towards infants. I definitely feel more confident and comfortable delivering the highest quality of chiropractic care to children in my practice.
Cranial work is not just great for pediatric patients, but also for anyone of any age groups, especially those with neurological indicators. This course has provided enough guidance when it comes to full evaluation and specific adjustments.

This program has increased my awareness towards the importance of pediatric care, especially those who have undergone stress causing cranial distortions during birth.

My 3 year old nephew is autistic and I am really glad that he showed significant improvement in terms of development after cranial work.

Yes, I would recommend this program. Drs. Rosen and Watson are very detailed in explaining and the program itself proves apparent success.

After the course, I have applied the skills learned not only on pediatrics but also on older populations who are suffering from eczema and insomnia. The skill has helped tremendously in my practice, getting me more referrals and enabling me to help more patients in need.

Learning from professional Drs. like Dr. Watson and Dr. Rosen ensures you to get tons of hands on properly as they are very engaging on and off screen.”

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!

My three takeaways:
1. Better understand dollar and crest signs.
2. visual examination of skull.
3. Sphenobasilar mechanics.

This has given me more tools, and I use it in practice with many babies that I work with every day.

Yes, I would recommend this program especially if you are good at doing online learning.

“This is a very thorough program with so much information. Be prepared while the information is technically actionable, it takes time to gain the necessary skills. Focus on the areas you already have a good base with and start with those areas as you learn new things. I think taking the in-person class in addition to the online would be beneficial.

Personally, it has given me tools to assess my own 2 children. Professionally, at times I have been frustrated with my lack of ability to “feel” things I am supposed to but watching as well as reading the transcripts gives me confidence that with (more) (a lot more) practice I will be able to get where I need to be.

I would recommend this course to others not only for in-depth presentation of information but also (even if not intending to work with children) because of the ability to work with tonal changes in people. This gives a niche that many chiropractors do not take advantage of.

I look forward to flushing out this course with some of the other classes as well as in person when the seminars come back to Boston.”

The SOT Pediatric Certificate Program has provided me with what I see as the missing link in the foundational Chiropractic course work. 1. Assessment of the neonate and child that is Chiropractic specific. 2. Neurological integration in the Chiropractic practice that is more than a pain and mechanical centered approach yet remaining in the scope of manual therapy. 3. How to confidently be able to communicate with my patients and multidisciplinary colleagues in an evidence-based way, opening up improved communication and understanding of why we do what we do as Chiropractors. Our South African medical and general community is especially in need of improved understanding of the potential benefits of Chiropractic.

I have learnt that where there is confidence and knowledge, there are also improved outcomes. Where there is intention there are improved outcomes. This course has truly transformed my approach to Chiropractic care and brought light to many of my unanswered questions.

I have recently been referred an 18-month-old with an abnormal crawling pattern, overactive sympathetic NS, poor emotional regulation, abnormal head shape and delayed milestone of walking. He does not want to bend the knees to go into a squat position. Even though he is weight bearing, his mother actually sent me a photo of the inverted swing test prior to our initial consultation where he had quite a severe right lateral occipital flexion and thoracic flexion pattern. I could now explain to the mom what she was actually testing and could interpret the test with confidence, all the while considering that he is over 9 months of age. After assessing him, treating him 4 times in two weeks and referring him back to the Occupational Therapist, he was able to crawl on all fours. Although there is not perfect coordination yet, and a lot of work is still needed, I feel that I could provide the best possible care using the SOT pediatric paradigm. I have never had such a severe case, and yet such great results with delayed and non-functional milestones. The best is yet to come.

I would absolutely recommend this course to any Chiropractor who has a special interest in Paediatrics. If you want your clinical outcomes improved, a proper systematic approach to diagnosis and to widen your scope of Chiropractic care – this course is for you!

Just a huge thank you, for the pioneering work that Dr. Martin and Dr. Nancy have done in our profession and for creating such a seamless course for Chiropractors to glean from – worldwide.
