CSF: The Lifeblood of the Central Nervous System - Mastering Cranial Techniques to Optimize Neurological Function

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for protecting, nourishing, and regulating the central nervous system. When its flow is compromised, neurological balance, immune function, and overall systemic health can suffer—especially in infants, children, and individuals with chronic health challenges.

In this advanced online course, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how CSF is produced, circulated, and affected by cranial and spinal imbalances. You’ll also learn specific evaluation and cranial adjusting protocols that restore healthy CSF flow and enhance the function of the entire nervous system.

This is a must-have class for chiropractors who want to deepen their cranial adjusting skills and elevate their impact on neurological health.

What You’ll Learn

  • The physiology, production, and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid
  • How cranial and dural restrictions affect CSF flow and neurological integrity
  • Key indicators of CSF imbalance in pediatric and adult patients
  • Step-by-step cranial techniques to support optimal CSF movement
  • How restoring CSF dynamics enhances immune function, detoxification, and neurological regulation

Resources Provided

  • Video class modules
  • Evaluation & technique presentations
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Calls to action (CTAs)
  • Complete PDF workbooks
  • Full transcriptions of video classes
  • Email access to Dr. Rosen & Dr. Watson

Why Take This Course?

  • CSF is essential for brain and spinal cord function—its flow must be addressed in any true neurologically-based care model
  • Cranial distortions and dural torque can significantly impede CSF dynamics, leading to long-standing health issues
  • Gentle, specific corrections can dramatically improve outcomes in patients with sensory, developmental, immune, and chronic neurological concerns

Who Is This Course For?

Chiropractors who want to:

  • Advance their cranial adjusting proficiency
  • Expand their impact in pediatric, family, and wellness care
  • Address deeper neurological patterns that influence long-term health and healing
  • Offer a vital piece of care often overlooked in traditional chiropractic protocols

If you’re ready to refine your skills, expand your clinical effectiveness, and bring a new dimension to your chiropractic care—this course is for you.

Meet the Instructors

Dr. Martin Rosen, DC, CSCP, CSPP & Dr. Nancy Watson, DC, CSP

As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

Feedback From Our Students

  • Mitresh Parmar, DC

    This program has good information and is convenient and I have the desire to keep learning.

    I have improved outcomes.

    Thank you.

  • Dr. Laura Taylor

    My three takeaways:
    1. Realizing that sometimes less is more, meaning lighter pressure can be more impactful in a specific scenario than more pressure.
    2. Being able to integrate respiration during treatment can enhance treatment outcomes.
    3. Restoring or enhancing CSF flow can effectively support a multitude of conditions that aren’t necessarily in the scope of a chiropractic practice which makes this an exciting addition to treatment protocols.

    Learning these very simple but effective techniques have helped me enhance my treatment for my patients and my family, giving them an extra boost before returning to their normal daily activities.

    A 7-month-old female born via c-section and whose parents have chosen vaccinations struggling with recurrent sinus infections, congestion and ear infections. Utilized the temporal bone balancing techniques over several treatments resulting in improved congestion symptoms. Parents and babies are very happy!

    If you are interested in learning how to integrate cranial work into your treatment, it’s vital to understand the fundamentals of CSF production and movement before integrating more complex protocols.

    Thank you for being so thorough in your videos and keeping in touch throughout the program!

    The program is always very complete, the content is wonderful and I always want to learn more from this incredible couple.

    Everything I learn from this couple transforms my practice. Seeing how a child can improve and how we change the lives of many families makes me very happy

    I attended to a 21-day-old baby who was just crying, the parents were completely exhausted and after applying everything I learned in these classes, the baby slept for 4 hours straight and never cried like before. The parents told me it seemed like a miracle.

    I’m a fan of this incredible couple and I’ll never get tired of learning from them. I never miss a course and I am very grateful to God for their lives. Without you, I would never transform lives like I transform through your teachings. So, thank you very much for everything!
