    “I took this program because: 1. The impact of properly evaluating the palate and cranial structures in our young patients 2. How many tongue ties are over-looked today or even surgically operated on without looking to chiropractic first 3. The impact chiropractic can have on the developing baby/child

    My daughter was thought to have a tongue tie initially because she didn’t have a great latch. It was determined that she did not have a tongue tie and we needed to work on her strength as well as other structures so I am excited to apply it to my own daughter.

    I applied them to my daughter by evaluating her. Her latch has been much better since I started working on her with what I learned in this course.

    Love the options for online classes – much easier for me at this stage in my life.”

    “With this program you can take your time with two manageable videos weekly. The call to actions gives you practical work to make sure you understand.

    Professionally this course has made me feel more confident working with all the tots patients I already had & validating the previous knowledge I have. I have many TOT’s patients. I work on their palate, sphenoid and can see dramatic changes that other Chiropractors in my area do not get.

    Love how both Drs. Watson & Rosen make short videos to make sure it is easily digestible knowledge and not overwhelming!”

    “I found it very helpful to review what was taught with the call to actions. It also serves as a nice workbook to look through for key highlights of each topic. I also enjoyed the diagram that went along with some of the adjusting protocols for a better visual of finger contact. The handouts that are typed up are helpful as well to be able to review what was talked about outside of the PowerPoint slides.

    I personally have had two children with tight oral tissues and cranial distortions and it was helpful to get a peace of mind of corrections that could be made and alterations that are possible. I also take care of a lot of families specifically for breastfeeding and now I have a better understanding of how to adjust for palate distortions which are affecting the infant’s ability to get a good latch.

    I was struggling with how to correct for the sphenobasilar distortions because before I was not correcting them intraorally and now that I have more knowledge on the contact points to look for I was able to get more movement in the joint and see the release happen in my infants in practice.

    I have taken a few cranial adjusting classes and every time I hear something that I missed before which was the missing link to something I had been struggling with. I grasp a better understanding around cranial adjusting and the nuance in the distortion patterns.”
