    “My three takeaways:
    1. Great for learning cranial work
    2. Amazing hands on experience
    3. Good for learning of indicators outside of your technique

    I’ve been able to start using cranial work on my kids which has been awesome!

    I would recommend this course because they give you a great foundation for cranial work. This is vitally important, in my opinion, for pediatric health!

    I love y’alls hearts for pediatrics! This is work you don’t have to take time to teach but you CHOOSE to push the profession forward and to help us serve generations moving forward.”

    “I wanted to learn more about working with children and infants. I also wanted to learn more about cranial work and SOT. I have taken some courses through ICPA but I wanted something more specific and in more detail.

    I liked the convenience of the program. Obviously, most of us are in practice and this is a large time commitment to watch additional videos weekly but if I did fall behind I was able to catch up at my own pace. There were also multiple assignments which were nice. I liked that the doctor share sessions were recorded. Also enjoyed the videos- I think they were easy to understand and follow and gave great details.

    This program has given me a lot of confidence to treat the pediatric population. It has also given me the opportunity to allow myself to have more success with the pediatric population. I also have started to use it on adult patients as well.

    I have used it a lot when treating babies who have torticollis or have cranial issues.

    I would recommend this program. It is great. Very convenient for a doctor that is in practice because I was able to move at my own pace and at the same time immediately implement what I have learned into practice.

    Thank you!”

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.

You’ll learn:

  • The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
    • We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
  • How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
  • Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
  • The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
