I wish I had taken this course first, I think it would have helped me understand and grasp the concepts faster in the other courses I have taken. I watched the videos more than once, I would go to work, see a few newborns and even adults, then come home and rewatch them. Definitely helped tie in the concepts of the video when seeing people at work the same day.

The course gave me a better understanding of cranial motion with more precision. I have taken some CST courses with other providers and there was a lack of “specificity” that seemed to me missing. I also think I struggled with a few Call to Actions as perhaps what I was taught at these other seminars wasn’t the level of detail my brain needs to fully understand this information fully.

Even just getting a clearer picture of SBS motion has cleared up a lot of difficulties I was having with newborns. The visual cues are easier to “see” now that I know what the underlying patterns are. I could visualize those asymmetries before but didn’t have enough knowledge to know what was going on.

Would definitely recommend this course to others BEFORE they take other courses.

Thank you to Dr. Ken Cooper for his easy-to-understand videos and demonstrations! His feedback was also helpful with my Call to Action homework.

This program should be taken by everyone prior to doing hands-on cranial work so that you fully understand how the bones move. Movement is not the story. It is just a page in the understanding of cranial work. Palpating squirming children is amazing. Do not overthink it.

I have taken numerous classes, but this class brought my knowledge full circle. I have a lot more to learn but at least I can see the circle. It was my ah-ha!! And I loved it!!

Sphenoid and occiput…. I love them!!! I learned that sometimes my sphenoid location was almost- not quite right. This reinforced where I needed to be. My cranial work changed dramatically with this subtle change in contact.

The information here is so valuable. It was for me about having a stable foundation of knowledge that made the other puzzle pieces click into place. Thank you so much for that.

The knowledge that you are sharing with me is beyond amazing. My life can get crazy. BUT this, this brings me home. It is my lighthouse – lighting my way, igniting my passion. Thank you!!

My three takeaways: 1. Correcting sutural imbalances while the child is young is imperative for avoiding issues down the road later in life. 2. That opening or remediating the suture appropriately helps fix dural tone, CSF flow/motion, and regulates response to inhalation and exhalation. 3. That gentle care/palpation can be just as effective as moderately more firm care/palpation, if not better, when adjusting sutures of an infant.

It will help me understand the skull of potential patients I may see and especially my own children and family members who have children. It gives me a working understanding of how all the cranial bones early on in life work together, and what is needed for things to function optimally.

I don’t work with infants or children under teenage years at my clinic, as most of them are middle aged to Medicare, but I was able to palpate my niece who is of that age of 0-3 and she had some of the sutural presentations that were mentioned in this presentation. She was delivered via forceps, and it did have a minor impact on some of the cranial bones and sutural formations.

If they are working with children, yes, as it is imperative to know the anatomy of physiology of the skull for young children. It is a great class for learning the basics and having that baseline knowledge to understand the children they will be working with. It is also helpful for just learning about the human skull again and getting a refresher on the region if you have been out of Chiropractic school for a while.

I thought it was a great course, the only thing I would recommend is if there was a section or one video where they had interactive pictures/animations that showed the motion, movement, and anatomy of the bones as they are going through things like expiration and inhalation. Having a visual of that like in a cartoon form would be helpful after hearing Dr. Cooper’s presentations.
