There was a call to action that asked us to think about which procedures we connect with better. This was a great call to action for me to think through. I feel like I am trying to figure out how to do everything I am learning and that can feel very overwhelming. So having part of the curriculum be that I am thinking about which procedures work best in the flow of my office was very beneficial. This curriculum went at a speed that was easy to digest. It wasn’t too much information at one time, but it also didn’t feel like it was so boring that not much was being learned. This program length offered a learning opportunity that I have not found in other cranial courses I have taken. I feel like the other courses I have taken or looked at are either trying to put so much information into a weekend that you walk away not being able to really have a good grasp of what was taught or it is so basic that it doesn’t feel like it was detailed enough to actually apply to patient care. I feel like this course helped equip me both for patients I am already seeing and for future patients and what to look for when they come into my office.

Taking this course has had a huge impact on my professional life. I feel so much more confident being able to work with pediatrics and adults. I feel like from previous cranial courses I had some knowledge coming into this as I was able to do some basic work with my patients, but I just felt like there was so much more I could have been doing for my patients. Now that I have completed this course, I feel like I am able to address more details with my patients and have better outcomes. Especially with newborns and young children where it can truly be very important to do work in a timely manner. This has then transferred to my personal life by giving me more confidence and feeling more satisfied when I am leaving work.

I have a newborn in my office right now that was breech for most of the pregnancy, he went head down 2 days before delivery. Since birth, he has had a very hard time with latching and feeding. For the first time I have felt confident doing cranial work but especially doing palate work. It is still early in the journey for this little guy, but he is already feeding better and mom is needing to pump and bottle feed significantly less than she was the first week of his life.

Yes, I would recommend this course to others. I feel like a big part of this answer has already been stated in previous answers. I feel like this course due to the length of time that was spent gave more details in a way that could actually be absorbed. It wasn’t too much or too fast. The only aspect that I feel like was missing was a hands-on portion where the professor could actually watch me work and make real time corrections.

I think this is an exceptional course. I think having a hands-on portion where we come together so that real time corrections could be made would be very helpful. I don’t think this would need to be often, I think 2 hands on dates during the course, maybe one roughly halfway and one at the end would be greatly beneficial for me to know that what I am doing is actually the correct positioning.

Having taken many continuing education courses and achieving multiple certifications, it’s amazing how much all of this information fills in gaps of knowledge and clinical support. This course provides entirely new clinically relevant assessments and corrections that most standard chiropractic certifications/techniques do not include. It will help all chiropractors especially to provide exceptional care and results to all patients (and likely to those “tough & complicated” cases.
I ask myself “what was I doing before learning this”? How could I possibly have provided the top level care that I thought I was? I have been able to understand things about my own self, family and children that have stumped my clinical understanding for years. I have applied the assessment and techniques on numerous clinic members and I often hear “what is this magic”. It’s been amazing!

I have used this technique on a baby with obvious torticollis and plagiocephaly – that the mom was told to do physio for. She almost didn’t sign on for chiropractic care but after 12 sessions, her plagiocephaly was much improved and torticollis was completely resolved. At her doctor and PT follow up, all the providers were incredibly impressed at the improvement without any PT!

I would absolutely recommend this program. The information is very thorough and unmatched in any other program. For chiros wanting to provide the highest level of care, this program is a must!

Thank you for how well organized and easy to digest you’ve made this! Thank you for your continued support and availability throughout the course as well. Thank you for the Facebook group and answering all questions. I felt very supported and encouraged during this program. While I miss the in person opportunity to train, this has made it possible for me to learn and apply this knowledge during a period in my life where it would have been impossible to travel for it!

My three takeaways from this course are:
1. Enhanced Understanding of Cranial Anatomy and Physiology: The course provided a deeper insight into the intricate structures of the cranial system, including sutures, bones, and their role in the nervous system. This understanding enables more precise and effective treatments.
2. Improved Palpation Skills: Through hands-on practice, you developed heightened sensitivity in palpating subtle cranial movements, which is crucial for detecting dysfunctions and guiding treatment approaches.
3. Integration of Cranial Techniques into Holistic Care: The course emphasized the integration of cranial therapies with other chiropractic, providing a more comprehensive approach to patient care and enhancing overall outcomes.

This course has enhanced my skills by equipping me with advanced cranial techniques and improving my ability to address more complex patient cases. This new skill set has boosted my confidence, broadened my treatment options, and enhances the quality of care I provide.

One specific instance where I applied the techniques from the cranial immersion course was an adult patient, who presented with chronic headaches and sinus pressure. After a thorough assessment, I detected subtle restrictions in her cranial sutures, particularly in the frontal and sphenoid bones that could be contributing to her symptoms. Using the refined palpation skills and cranial techniques I learned, I performed gentle cranial adjustments to release tension in these areas. Over the course of a few sessions, the patient reported significant relief from her headaches and sinus discomfort. By incorporating these techniques, I not only address her symptoms more effectively but also improve her overall function, enhancing her sense of well-being.

I would 100% recommend this course to any chiropractor looking to take their skills to the next level. It’s a lot of information but if time is taken really learning what is being taught this course is a game changer.
