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 Have wanted to work with cranials ever since starting practice, took a course from Dr. Rosen in ICPA course, and decided it was time!

My three takeaways 1. The most thorough understanding of the anatomy of the cranium. 2. How balancing the cranium affects neurologic development. 3. Multiple ways of addressing issues, having such a large toolbox to use.

I love to learn and I feel more confident in my practice. Over the course I have integrated the work and am noticing a huge difference in the healing of my pediatric population.

I have an 18 month old with respiratory issues. I do upper cervical work but always felt like I was missing something. Doing CSF balancing, sphenoid, and frontal fruit jar technique were a game changer.. also noticing the shape of head changing that parents noticed!

I absolutely would this program, at the core of balancing the nervous system, this is a must for working with pediatrics, especially given all the palate issues that are arising.

I loved the way the course was laid out in smaller sections. There is so much to learn and it makes the information more manageable when trying to put it all together. Chiropractors that want to change neurodevelopment in pediatrics would benefit immensely from this course. The CTA’s gave opportunities to apply to patients throughout the course. There was always support and community from Drs. Rosen and Watson, it is so obvious how much they love this work and want to share it.

I don’t know if a follow up, or a potential ‘refresher’ course is offered. Given the amount of information it is impossible to get it all in one go-around. Great course.”

“I recently graduated and work at a practice where no one has any knowledge of pediatric chiropractic care.
I wanted to learn more to be able to provide the best care possible for infants and kids.

My three takeaways:
1. It’s so important to learn the WHY behind pediatric chiro care and be able to convey that to families.
2. Cranial work can be so incredibly powerful.
3. The pediatric exam is so important and can give you a huge amount of information to guide you in a care plan.

This program has given me a starting point for creating a pediatric practice as well as some confidence in examining and adjusting kids.

I have been using some of the CSF balancing techniques on a patient with conversion disorder which has been helping him to have fewer “episodes” and sleep better than he has in a while.
This course was definitely overwhelming for me having no experience with SOT or cranial work, but I like that I have access to all the information to dive deeper into it whenever I am able and to understand it better over time with practice.

I think that any pediatric chiropractor should take this course to gain a better understanding of the cranium and the neurology behind the cranial adjustments. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have such a vast knowledge of pediatric care and have been so helpful throughout the course to answer any questions I had about techniques or cases I had in practice.

I think it was a great experience for me and I so appreciate the guidance and generosity of the knowledge Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have!”

The importance of every child and baby to get checked by a chiropractor. That chiropractors can treat so much more than just spinal/joint issues. The role and importance of the dural- meningeal system and how it relates to the vitality and health of a patient.

I feel that I can make so much more of a positive change in babies, children and parents’ lives. One really positive story I can share was that I treated a 3-month-old Down syndrome baby whose mom was at the absolute brink of despair as she was pumping full time day and night to provide breastmilk for her baby. She was so close to giving up on the night pumping and supplementing with formula because she was so exhausted from constantly waking up at night. They struggled with breastfeeding from day 1: her baby had low motor tone, poor core strength, breastfeeding was uncoordinated and she tired easily at the breast and most times would just end up rejecting her breast or falling asleep after a few minutes. She was only able to breastfeed with a nipple shield. Often breastfeeding would last 1-2 minutes max, the longest she breastfed for was 5 minutes and that was only very occasionally at night if she caught her baby at the “right” time and it was only on the one breast – i.e..” dream feeding”, but only when she was sleepy enough but not too sleepy, not too hungry otherwise she was just fussy at the breast – there was a very fine line and she only managed to get it right a couple of times). Mom had exclusively breastfed her 2 previous children until age 2, naturally birthed all her babies and was headset on breastfeeding her Down Syndrome baby, at least for the first year (she came into my office, just hoping to get to 6 months but not thinking she would even make that). She sat in my office chair and cried because she was so tired of pumping around the clock and she was about to give up on their exclusive pumping feeds at night, possibly during the day too as it was all just getting too much for her, especially with other children to look after. After 1 chiropractic treatment, her 3-month-old baby was able to latch and effectively breastfeed from both breasts for 10-15minutes on each side. She went from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding off the breast within 1 week of her first chiropractic treatment and it saved her mom’s sanity! She is now able to breastfeed at night (without a shield) and can go out in public without having to pump and prep a bottle beforehand. She is forever grateful for Chiropractic. This was after seeing Lactation Consultants, craniosacral therapists and physiotherapists. 1 Chiropractic treatment was all it took for them to go from exclusive pumping to exclusive breastfeeding after 3 months of struggling. Powerful stuff!

I used the ear infection protocol on an active ear infection of a 5-year-old little boy who came in crying with acute ear pain and a fever. 2 hours after his chiro treatment, his fever broke and his ear pain went away – in his mom’s words “he went back to his normal self like nothing had happened”.

Yes, of course I would recommend it to others! It is probably the most in-depth and comprehensive chiropractic course I’ve taken – worth every cent! And it’s very interesting to be able to treat the cranial aspect of things.

“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 🙁 “
