“I took the hands-on course as I wanted to deepen the knowledge I was gaining from the online course. It’s a lot of information, so I knew that getting to take these series in-person after the online course would really help solidify more of my knowledge into something I felt confident using in practice.

It’s very in-depth work, but there are also many simple takeaways that in mastering those, you can help a lot of people more than you did before. That being said don’t get discouraged and just take what you can, when you can and start applying it. Last, these courses inspired me all over again with the power of chiropractic.

The programs reiterated, in a different way, how chiropractic is about tone/stress on the dural system. It also gave me a lot of confidence in working with kids, or talking to their parents. Personally, it was also really nice to meet fellow doctors with this same passion and willingness to keep growing and learning.

I had a 2 year-old who was falling behind on speech and failed his 50-word test. I learned he had a vacuum and forced delivery and when the mom sought out care, I talked to her about the benefits of an assessment just to see how he is adapting to his world. That encouraged her to come in and let her see how he was struggling with numerous imbalances within his system. Within 4 visits he went from hardly speaking to full sentences, more emoting and more eye contact. He had a significant strain on the occiput, with sphenobasilar torsion. Releasing this was life changing.

Honestly, there just isn’t anything like this course. I’ve done some SOT and CST work but this really blends it into the way we work and think as chiropractors. I think that is what makes it so unique and a great fit for those wanting to deepen their cranial skills or learn new ways of seeing and working with the pediatric spine.”

“My three takeaways:
1. Deeper understanding of the dural-meningeal system and its role in subluxation.
2. Reliable analysis that I know will lead me to the primary subluxation.
3. Increased confidence in care planning (no longer under-recommending care for newborns).

Professionally, I feel more confident in my analysis, adjustments, and in communication with practice members. I see many more babies now that other moms and lactation consultants are referring to me. I love being part of a growing community of support for moms and babies. Personally, I have been able to help my family and friends with children find the care they need.

I have applied some techniques that fit well with my established “flow”. I have noticed that balancing cranio-sacral movement before applying osseous forces help open the system to receive those adjustments. After cranial work, my practice members notice less tension and pressure.

I think anyone that sees or wants to see babies and children would benefit from having this knowledge and skill set. Now knowing more about how critical the first 2 years of development are, there needs to be more chiropractors out there caring for kiddos.

Will definitely be taking this course again.”
