    1. The quality of the video and slides to assist the study.
    2. Amazing information of pediatric SOT and details into science to help students understand better.
    3. Breakdown of the program into sections per week makes it easier to digest

    I gained a deeper understanding of SOT that can be readily applied to not just pediatric but all populations of patients. This program provides me solid foundation to continue exploration of SOT

    I am still a student. But I am fortunate enough to explore technique on my patient as a Palmer student intern. I had a patient with an unstable upper cervical. After correcting occipital sideslip, the persistent pain went away.”

  • Dr. Helen Schlebusch

    Thank you for a wonderful course.

    Having not been exposed to SOT or cranial work before, I must admit that I did find it challenging. However, it was just what I was looking for to add to my practice.

    I will be going through the notes repeatedly, and would absolutely love to attend one of your hands on seminars to get the exact “feel”. But in the meantime, I will continue to practice on every one of my patients (big and small).

    Chiropractic is my passion, and being able to incorporate such an in depth tool kit to help my little patients makes practice so fulfilling. I am already seeing the benefits of SOT in my practice.

    Thank you once again. I know that I have been quiet down here in South Africa, but please know that I have been hard at work re playing your videos and re-reading the notes constantly.
