Three great takeaways from this course: 1. Clearer, More Structured Paediatric Assessment Framework 2. An excellent system for evaluating infants and children through: refined cranial, spinal, and dural tension assessment 3. A great understanding of segmental motion, tone, and developmental movement patterns.

This course has greatly enhanced my skills and confidence in assessing and treating infants. I now have a clearer framework for identifying tension patterns and applying gentle, effective techniques. Personally, it has fueled the “why” in terms of my passion for paediatric care.

During a follow-up with a 3-month-old infant presenting with frequent arching, irritability, and mild feeding difficulties (often associated with reflux-related tension). The palate arch was very narrow which caused latching issues. I applied a gentle occipital cranial release as taught in the SOT course to balancing cranial motion. Also did a Sphenoid Flexion Release via Pterygoid Contact Outcome: Within a few sessions, the infant was noticeably calmer neck and head posture improved tolerance of feeding positions, reduced arching and easier settling for sleep Parents reported the baby was more comfortable and content, and feeding sessions were smoother, less arching noted and generally the family was all round so relieved.

Yes, it is a great way to learn new adjustment skills, up-skill and improve pediatric care for the community. Improves networking with other health care professionals.

My takeaways:
1. It’s done at a slow pace where it’s suitable for a working chiropractor to study during free time .
2. I like how it’s divided into areas and techniques where I can easily look back to refresh the information I need.
3. I like how it provides notes and videos that I can watch at any time. The notes can be printed and used in my clinic.

It helps me to investigate more perspectives in treating kids. The knowledge learned not only can apply to my own kids, it allows me to provide better quality adjustment for my paediatric patients.

I love to use the cranial work, which is very helpful in relieving my patients’ tension, and the outcome was immediate.

Yes, I would recommend it because it not only can be done for kids, but it is also useful for adults too. It gives me more techniques to use for kids, and the adjustment was gentler and more effective.

Thank you for providing this course. It was a great pace of learning that allowed me to often look back to refresh on certain techniques that I need guidance.
