I have learned more specifically how each of the cranial bones move and how they affect the CSF flow .

And I have more deepened understanding of how the cranial bones move. I was more certain in how they move and could better understand the adjustments on the child and could better explain to the parents.

Yes, I would recommend this course to get a more deepened knowledge.

My three takeaways:
A much deeper understanding of cranial motion and its biomechanical relevance to overall neurological and functional health. A new perspective on assessing and supporting patients, particularly in complex or paediatric cases, where subtle dysfunctions can have significant impacts.

Professionally, this program has significantly refined my clinical approach. It has given me greater confidence in assessing cranial patterns and integrating them into broader neurodevelopmental and functional care plans. This has been particularly valuable in my work with children, where small changes can make a meaningful difference. Personally, it has deepened my appreciation for the body’s innate intelligence and adaptability. It has reinforced a more patient, observant, and holistic approach, not only in practice but also in how I view health and well-being more broadly.

I worked with a patient who had ongoing jaw restriction and sinus pain that hadn’t fully resolved with other approaches. On assessment, it became clear that there were underlying cranial restrictions affecting both the TMJ and sinus drainage. Using the techniques from this course, I incorporated gentle cranial work over a few sessions. The patient began to notice their jaw moving more freely, with less discomfort, and at the same time experienced a significant reduction in sinus pressure. What stood out was how interconnected these systems are—and how addressing the cranial mechanics created meaningful changes in both symptoms and overall comfort.

Yes, I would highly recommend this course. It provides a strong biomechanical and neurological framework for understanding cranial motion, supported by clear clinical reasoning and practical application.

The program is exceptionally well-structured. I am glad I was able to take part. Thank you.

My three takeaways:
1. Cranial motion is the key to unlocking the flow of the CSF, which brings proper nourishment to our brain and spine.
2. Understanding the physiology of the cranial bones brings a deeper meaning to the understanding that the body is an interconnected system.
3. As you breathe and move, the bones of the skull should breathe and move as well. Knowing these motions can help you help infants, children, and adults along their path of wellness.

After the course, Dr. Ken Cooper helped me find a practitioner in my area to work on my 4-month-old. In one visit, his flat spot was visibly rounder. Professionally, I can now educate people of the tension held in the cranial sutures that may need to be released to relieve the stress their spines are experiencing.

The most impactful is the experience I’ve seen by taking my 4-month-old to certified practitioner. However, in my own practice, I’ve seen numbness and tingling in the whole hand disappear with occipital flexion/extension, and I’ve witnessed emotional reactions to sphenobasilar and frontal suture releases.

Yes, I would recommend this course. It is a great starting point to understanding how the skull is the encasing of the brain- the portion of the CNS that chiropractors are commonly referring to, but never truly accessing.

Dr. Ken Cooper is a fantastic teacher, passionate about the topic, and compassionate with his students.
