I took this course for the quality of the teachers and the topics involved with the hope of being able to give more professional, gentle, specific and effective attention in caring for the pregnant patient.
My three takeaways:
1. Quality of teachers
2. Space to ask questions and clarify concepts
3. Broad and complete agenda with the main topics involved the pregnancy.This course has generated a more complete knowledge of the changes involved in pregnancy as well as its approach, allowing me to provide better care and at the same time generating more confidence about chiropractic management in the patient pregnant. Personally, it has expanded my range of benefits as well as the ability to safely face the changes that women are experiencing at different stages of her pregnancy.
Many of techniques learned have been very useful, such as the technique for the previous sacral base and its evaluation through cranial indicators; this has allowed me to manage many lumbar or sacral pain in a totally smooth way, without discomfort and providing a fast and effective resolution.
I believe that programs like this, deep, extensive, with a description of the mechanisms involved in both the injury and its resolution, not only give more confidence to the chiropractor, but also allow enough time to mature the concepts, which can be applied immediately after learning, in order to fine-tune its use and at the same time clarify any doubts that may arise.
Thank you for allowing many, who cannot by distance, to access this great knowledge in a dynamic, entertaining and attractive way to the practitioner.

My three takeaways from this course are: 1. Understanding the changes in the anatomy of pregnant women is very important because the more we know about the process of a growing baby, the more we can do to ensure the baby and mother are healthy throughout the three stages of gestation. 2. Other than the Webster technique, performing SOT on a pregnant woman is also a very gentle technique that can help with various conditions. 3. I like that we get to learn specific techniques that will help with some of the most common challenges the pregnant population faces throughout their pregnancy.
After taking this course, I feel like I’m more professionally and personally capable as a chiropractor and female to provide a more natural, easy, and less stressful adjusting technique to the pregnant population as well as provide other nutritional and supplemental recommendations to help ease their pregnancy journey.
I’ve been having more of my pregnant mothers use a Serola SI joint belt to help with stabilizing their hyper-mobility as indicated by the recommendations given to us in the seminar and the results have been amazing.
It continues to amaze me how much knowledge and information Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson present to you in their online seminars. I am so thankful that I have the chance to learn from them and become a better chiropractor!

My takeaways:
1. This program is very useful and practical. It can be applied into practice right away.
2. Live Q and A sessions are very helpful.
3. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are knowledgeable and are passionate about this work and truly are great mentors. They care about how well the information delivered to the students. You can tell that they want their students to be successful.I was able to help myself during my last month of my pregnancy using blocking technique. I believe this contributes to the success of my VBAC. My patients have seen great results and become a believer of chiropractic care and they like the gentleness of this technique.
I was able to help a non-pregnant patient who had chronic rib pain to be pain free. This is the only technique that could calm her system and make her live a normal life. Other techniques often trigger more pain. Now she only wants blocking technique.
Great program! Great mentors and great chiropractors! I truly appreciate Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson! I am looking forward to learning more from them in the future!
