My three take aways…. This work is much more powerful than I originally thought. For starters, just having a new lens to look through changed my eval and adjusting right away, before even applying any of the SOT techniques. My awareness allowed me to see subtle differences I had not necessarily been aware of; for example, differences in facial structure or even just watching children in my waiting area and how they moved and interacted. I noticed these subtle indicators in adults as well as when they enter the office or walk to the bathroom. I think some folks caught me evaluating their facial structure before a cervical adjustment because I paused longer than usual. Second take away… I need to continue my study of SOT, learning more about the basics and application in the adult population. This is powerful work, and more people need it than I realized. I must deepen my understanding so I may share this work with my entire community. Third… Drs. Rosen and Watson are true experts in the field; wow do I have a lot to learn! Taking this program helped to realize that expecting that I master SOT for the pediatric population by the end of the course is ridiculous. I can be hard on myself for not picking up very detail and learning exactly how to apply them in my day-to-day practice. I promised myself to take it slow and to not get frustrated. In the past I have found it nearly impossible to learn and integrate a new technique during my day-to-day at the office, introducing new techniques can be time consuming and slow the flow and as a solo practitioner with no staff it has been historically challenging. I have yet to be successful at fully integrating a new technique…this time I have promised myself to take it slow and make it happen over time. Principle 6- There is no process that does not require time.

Being patient with myself and allowing the time I need to truly learn and integrate the information. Learning is a process not an event (just like healing). Taking the course has also allowed me to embrace the fact that after almost 17 years of diversified adjusting my longevity requires I have a tool bag of lighter touch techniques that have the desired effect (maybe even more so than diversified adjusting).

A mom who comes regularly with her three children recently reported to me that her 7-year-old son has been complaining of headaches. Headaches so severe that he wasn’t sleeping well and she had to give him an OTC pain reliever to help. I have been adjusting this little guy at least monthly for a couple of years, and this was something new for him. I evaluated the sphenoid and frontal bones as well as the temporomandibular joints, found restriction and tenderness at both the sphenoid and temporal mandibular. After working on these areas as well as applying adjustments in the cervical spine, Vinny and mom reported a reduced incidence and severity of headaches after just one visit integrating SOT techniques. Over the course of the next few weeks, we continued to work in the same fashion and continued to see improvement with a near complete resolution after approximately a month. Vinny has also gotten glasses in the past weeks and with continued chiropractic care he has remained essentially headache free now for the last 2.5 months.

Most certainly I would recommend this course to others! The amount of information presented is a bit overwhelming, I applaud you for the way you have organized and structured the program. Allowing downloads of the transcripts, PowerPoints and Call to Action assignments have made returning to the information accessible and manageable. I’ve also appreciated the Q & A sessions, unfortunately I have not been able to log in live due to conflicts with my office hours, but the replays have been very helpful.

Thank you for combining your wealth of knowledge into a five-star course that has, and will continue to, help me better serve all the members of my community, but particularly the very special little ones.

“I wanted to have more techniques to unite not only structural subluxations, but visceral and emotional subluxations as well. My three takeaways:
1. Super amazing and interesting information
2. Better communication skills with parents
3. Overall knowledge increase.

I am feeling much more excited and confident in ways I can help my pediatric community. The sphenobasilar and dollar and crest signs and techniques that I use daily have made a difference in my differential diagnosis and hence in the patient’s results.

I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a complete perspective on chiropractic, not only structural based, but based on neurology. The experience has been very professionally fulfilling and can’t wait to continue applying all the knowledge gained. Simply a big THANK YOU! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, thank you for your time and empathy with me as well these past months. I’m very grateful.”

My three takeaways from this program:
1. Amount of knowledge gained 2. Practical application 3. Confidence in cranial work.

I believe my confidence with pediatric care and cranial work has not only improved drastically, but the output in our office has also improved.

Overall, the main reason I took this course was because of the need for high level cranial work in our patient population. So having more confidence and education has been awesome.

Yes, I would recommend this program. I believe that it is crucial for a practitioner who sees a high percentage of peds cases to have all the knowledge and skills to be able to serve at a high level.

“My three takeaways from this program:

1. This program is an awesome resource for a deeper dive into helping kids with things like ear infections, asthma & allergies, behavior issues, etc.
2. Great material on recognizing dural from structural and what to do about it
3. It will help you learn a very thorough child exam and have confidence.

I’ve been in practice for 11 years and this program really helped me resolve some long standing issues with some of the peds patients I have. Personally, this program has helped me to become a more confident doctor in helping more kids.

I have a patient about 3 years old whose primary issue was sleep. She would wake in the night for hours and not be able to go back to sleep. Happy, just not ‘tired’. I’ve applied to protocols and we have her sleeping through the night most nights! Parents are forever grateful!

I have taken multiple courses in the past from others and, although great and useful, this really gets laser beam focused on some very common problems I see regularly in the office. It’s such a different approach when you add more than just the spine to your protocol. We see great results (sometimes faster) when we work with the cranial bones as well.

A great program. We really enjoyed working through each module.”

“My takeaway from this program is that we need to be more specific with techniques, we can do more thorough exams, and more attention needs to be placed on cranial structures.

This program has impacted me professionally and personally by giving me more confidence in my practice and allowing me to give recommendations with more authority and certainty.

I have used ear infection protocol many times and have seen immediate improvements in drainage and pain. I gained so many useful tools and protocols that I will be using on a daily basis.

I was very pleased with the information provided and felt the timeline of videos was adequate.”
