My three takeaways:
1. In-depth understanding and application of specific SOT techniques for cranial assessment and adjustments.
2. Practical protocols for assessing and adjusting paediatric patients at different stages of development.
3. Better understanding of medical conditions and their potential associations with cranial misalignments and dysfunctions.

After completing this programme, I feel even more inspired and equipped as a paediatric chiropractor. It has changed the way I see the human body. Whenever I meet someone, I naturally find myself thinking about their dural meningeal system, body tension, facial features, and how these may relate to underlying cranial strains. It’s amazing how much a new perspective can change the way we observe, assess, and understand the body. More importantly, it has strengthened my passion to reach more babies and make a meaningful difference from the very earliest stages of life. Every little one deserves the opportunity to be supported as they grow and develop.

I’ve been receiving quite a number of referrals from paediatric dentists to co-manage children with airway concerns and dental spacing issues. Since completing this programme, I’ve started applying the cranial techniques in my clinical practice, particularly focusing on the maxillary region and intermaxillary suture when assessing children with dental spacing concerns. It’s fascinating to observe the immediate changes in some cases. For children with sinus-related concerns, the Eustachian tube techniques have also been an interesting addition to my clinical approach. I’ve also incorporated sphenobasilar techniques when working with children who experience breathing difficulties and snoring. This programme has given me new perspectives, additional clinical approaches and, most importantly, greater motivation to work collaboratively with paediatric dentists and other healthcare professionals to support children’s health and development from an early age.

I would absolutely recommend this programme to anyone with a passion for paediatric care and a desire to deepen their knowledge and skills in helping children thrive.

It has been a wonderful 40-week programme! Thank you so much for all the time, effort and thought put into bringing everything together. My only feedback would be that Dr. Rosen speaks quite quickly and shares so many valuable theories and insights. I found myself having to pause the lessons quite often to digest and process the information before moving on to the next topic. There’s just so much great knowledge to absorb! Overall, it has been an incredibly enriching learning experience. Thank you again!

My three main takeaways would be that this program helps: 1) Recognising the unique structural and neurological characteristics of the paediatric spine and cranium, particularly in infants and toddlers, and the necessity of adapting SOT protocols to use extremely gentle, light-force techniques; 2) focusing on neurological and developmental foundations – learning how SOT protocols can be used to optimize nervous system function and potentially assist with common childhood issues linked to nervous system interference, such as feeding difficulties (e.g. latch issues), colic, sleep disturbances, and motor development; and 3) learning an indicator system to identify subluxation and compensatory patterns unique to infants and children, allowing to determine when, where, and how to apply gentle adjustments with precision.

Professionally, this program instilled more confidence within me to deal with complex cases, especially with training reinforcing the critical importance of early-life care and helped me communicate more effectively with my parents whose kids I’m treating. On a personal level, the training provided a profound sense of purpose and confidence, increasing professional fulfilment being able to positively influence a child’s health at such a formative stage, which I found to be a deeply rewarding experience. Furthermore, the program really deepened my understanding of neurodevelopment.

There are so many wonderful moments so it’s difficult to highlight a specific one, but I initially tried incorporating the new techniques here and there until everything was better integrated and flowed smoother. I think my a-ha moments came from amazing feedback from my parents post-treatment which is now much more frequent in comparison to what I have received in the past. This is really special! Especially when dealing with unsettled infants and parents telling you they cry for about 21 hours of a 24-hour day and within one session the parents already notice a massive change

Yes, yes and YES I would recommend this program! First, I don’t know any other programs that cover cranial work as in depth as this one. This program also covers neurology and development in a way that I know every single paediatric chiropractor would benefit from adding to their toolbox. Having taken this program also helped with growing my practice, because more parents referred friends with infants to me. The depth of knowledge gained in this program is immensely rewarding and professionally empowering.

Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. The world is a better place thanks to you guys! Very well done!
