New Understanding Cranial Bone Movement

Taught by Dr. Ken Cooper, Lead Instructor – Peak Potential InstituteFor chiropractors and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in the understanding of cranial bone motion and dynamics.

This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
