“My three takeaways from this program:

1. Building the case for kids and chiropractic – especially in the first year of life
2. Powerful exam protocols to gain info to truly see how a child is developing and what techniques to start with
3. Powerful new techniques (tools in the toolbox) to help above and beyond spinal adjustments to be able to help every child with every possible condition.

It has deepened my conviction and confidence around babies being adjusted as early as possible (for ideal cranial and brain development) and not just for their spinal health. I also feel like we are now the pediatric experts in our community (even though we still have years of learning and mastery to go).

We have an infant who wasn’t sleeping more than 2 hours at a time who Dr Mel and I have been using many of these new techniques with and he is not only sleeping through the night but his hematoma is shrinking and his skull is looking more normal.

Thank you both for all your hard work, commitment and passion to get this work into more and more chiropractic practices.”

My three takeaways:
1. The importance of the dural meningeal system in the growth and development of infants
2. How important the sphenobasilar system is in working with cranial adjusting
3. How to confidently determine a dural meningeal subluxation from a structural subluxation, and how to use that especially in more complicated cases

I have gained a significant amount of additional confidence and certainty in my cranial evaluations and adjustments. I chose to take this course for the cranial piece and learned so much more about the whole craniosacral system. CST is a huge buzzword in our community and being able to share with my referral sources and community that I have invested this time in the program to advance my skill and knowledge has also been so rewarding.

Being a DC that works with a lot of newborns with latching and breastfeeding issues, I have used a lot of palate and sphenobasilar techniques taught in class to help improve latch and breastfeeding outcomes. I use the sphenobasilar motion techniques everyday on every baby that comes into my office, and I see the improvements in their latch as well as cranial shape.

Yes, I would recommend this program. I don’t practice SOT, but so many of the evaluation and adjustment techniques fit well within my daily practice. I would share with anyone interested that they don’t have to practice SOT to benefit from this course.”

My three takeaways:
1. Very complete program.
2. You will know how to correct each segment on a kiddo (head, neck, back, leg).
3. Very interesting in web learning.

It helped me get confident with cranial work, helps more babies and kids with their issue, and of course be a better chiropractor.

I help babies with ear infection, plagiocephaly and cranial distortion.

My three takeaways:
1. History taking is important. 2. Your assessment helps to find the primary subluxation complex. 3. Indicators are used to track progress and resolution of the compensatory patterns.

It was difficult to carve out the time to sit down and study. But the information and understanding it provided could be used the very next day in practice.

In my practice I mainly see neonates and infants. The fruit jar techniques have helped tremendously with my breastfeeding difficulties.

Yes, I would recommend this program to improve your paediatric assessment skills and increase the tools to find and adjust subluxation.

“1. This program has vastly built upon my education with the ICPA 2. Dr. Rosen’s course with ICPA provided great information, but the weekend time frame given made the content very overwhelming. This program being spread out made it much more manageable and digestible and not as intimidating. 3. I am confident that the information presented in this course provides a very holistic approach to treating the pediatric population, especially in the realm of neurological development, an area in which I felt I was lacking prior.

I’ve been practicing the content on my own two children (now 5 months and 2.5 years old.) I’m not currently practicing, but when I do start up again, I now have the competency and confidence in building relationships with my midwife and son’s oral tie revision dentist for patient referrals.

I used the techniques on my now 5 month old son following his tongue tie revision when he was 6 weeks old. The revision alone did not help with the nursing issues like it had with my previous son. The protocols helped with difficulty keeping a latch, air gulping and severe gassiness.

I would recommend this course because it gives a very thorough approach to caring for the pediatric population. I appreciate that there are different techniques that can be used to treat a specific issue, making it accessible to any practitioner/technique.”
