Feedback From Our Students

  • Sergio Domenech

    My three takeaways:
    Putting language and connecting dural tension.
    Step by step protocol that I can integrate to my art.
    Assessment tools to places I haven’t done before – cranials.

    Great language and incorporation of science that helps communicate with participants better. Move away from bone to actual impact.

    All the techniques game me a deeper understanding of the body and had deep an adjustment can be.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. I think it could change so many lives both for practitioners and pediatrics .

    Love the course. Dr. Jake was great.

  • Yosef Teklehaimanot

    My three takeaways:
    1. The big idea: we are correcting subluxations in the dura/meningeal and restoring CSF flow.
    2. Great way to regulate the nervous system and create a parasympathetic response.
    3. The sacrum and occiput are extremely important

    I will continue learning and developing the ART of pediatric SOT to serve my future patients.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. It was amazing.

    Everything was great.

  • Ellie Kooiker

    My three takeaways:
    1. Very hands on and gentle.
    2. Very informative with explaining why.
    3. Very applicable to understanding real life.

    I am now excited to practice and see the benefit of this on my patients. My palpation ability is so much better and more sensitive now

    The technique most relevant was the nervous system portion along with the breathing CSF flow because we are talking about it in Board Review.

    Yes, I would recommend this course. It was so informative and it’s the first seminar I’ve been to where I have left with a greater passion for chiropractic and have learned so much.

    Ken was great and so helpful.
