I decided to take this course after many years working with developmental professionals from chiropractors to speech therapists, occupational therapists, vision therapists, neurofeedback scientists, early interventionists, nutrition coaches, and special education staff and advocates. Every professional has a different knowledge base which creates gaps in knowledge and educating parents. I wanted to hear Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy’s take on a very much overlooked foundational piece of the puzzle, and what it means for overarching development of the whole child.

Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:

1) Physical appearance is often related to functional differences and compensatory patterns, which impact normal development 2) Common is not the same as normal 3) Trust your instincts and get help even if your professional tells you that development seems on track; you are your child’s best advocate and first teacher.

This course put together many pieces of the puzzle for me, connecting physical restrictions with development in the brain, tongue-tie and global effects down the line in development of the face, teeth, jawline, and particular distortions and movement patterns to notice when observing a child.

I was able to speak with confidence to a family who had opted for a helmet for their child, and had not yet not sought chiropractic care at the time. I was able to explain the importance of addressing the compensatory patterns which arise from the torticollis and plagiocephaly, and describe how the sutures experience a lot of tension and force with helmet use. Further, I was able to link these patterns with visible vision and tracking difficulties, as well as other compromised developmental milestones that were easily identifiable by the parents.

Thank you so much for making this course available to the public! I would love to see it featured through PBS, Gaia, and/or mainstream parenting support websites.

Before taking this class, I was doing cranial adjusting from what I learned through KST. I wanted to dive into intraoral work and understand deeper how to decrease dural tension and increase CSF flow.

I wish every chiropractic school would put as much emphasis on cranial adjusting as they do upper cervical analysis.

This program elevates the level of service that I and any chiropractor who takes this class can give to their patients. There have been dozens of people who I have cared for over 28 years that for the first time I have found other neurological imbalances and addressed it.
The online program is perfect for the practicing chiropractor since one can view a short video and practice it right away. A weekend seminar provides through information, but for me would be too much to process and integrate. This is a slow drip method that one can do at their own pace and they can watch and rewatch over and over again.
I have seen an array of cases of the past 28 years yet there was still room to broaden my scope to be able to help more complicated neurological cases. The 12-year-old boy with Rett’s for instance was up out of his wheelchair and put pressure on his feet with the help of his mom for the first time in 2 years after only 2 cranial adjustments!!! Before coming to the office, he would have a seizure every time he urinated and that is gone too!!! Those results are priceless and will open the door to see others like him whose parents are looking for solutions. Personally, that has brought me immense joy to have that kind of impact on a family who has to give this sweet boy 24/7 care by easing their stress and giving them some hope. An added message…When the mother took her son to his neurologist the other day, she told him what I was doing with her son and he looked me up on my website, social media, and reviews and then explained to her how this technique I was doing was helping her son!! That was a WOW to me and is soooooooooo much more rewarding that just helping someone’s back feel better. Our office is about family wellness, so by sharing this testimonial with other people we serve, we will attract more new people with cranial issues that we can successfully address.

Another example would be instead of just adjusting someone’s TMJ as I would in the past, I now am addressing cranial distortions that are causing the TMJ to many of my patients. This is bringing more long lasting results.

YES!!! I would recommend this program. Everyone has had an impact to their cranium (chiropractors too) and unless it is addressed, it will continue to affect the physiology of their body. No matter what technique one uses, this course will only maximize results and better function for their patients.

The two of you are masters at cranial work and I appreciate feeling like a beginner at something even after 28 years of practice that I feel is a game changer to making what we offer even more special and unique than the medical profession and what other chiros in my area are doing.

This course was recommended to me by my friend and colleague. I was hoping to learn the causes of cranial facial distortions and their impact on development.

My three takeaways are: CSF buildup and its effect, common is not normal, and the effects of compensations that form when development is abnormal

This course has reminded me and made me more aware of how birth/development can be impacted by tension and other restrictions

I have been able to apply this info to some of my cases. A student with severe sensory aversions, toe walking and low tone has a history of traumatic birth and vacuum delivery. It has been hard to get parents to follow through with cranial work, but I hope this course will have helped me explain the rationale better so they can understand.

Thank you! I loved the doctor shares the most and also the Facebook page was interesting too!
