My three takeaways:
1. The power of less is better.
2. Mastering indicators based neurologically,
3. Having a different insight when treating pediatrics.The fear of working with a tiny, delicate spine has always been there. With this course, it definitely helps me to gain some internal confidence to overcome that fear.
I have been trying to get familiar with cranial bone ranges of motion and the movement during my clinical practice
Yes, I would highly recommend this course to any chiropractor who wants to care for children with this safe and precise technique. As children cannot tell where they hurt, and this course teaches a strict indicator-based system. To learn to read the child’s body using reproducible cranial, dural and spinal checks.
Just want to sincerely thank you both for such an amazing program!

This is a very in-depth course that requires diligence and passion to persevere. You will gain such fantastic knowledge that you can immediately use in your paediatric practice. Doing this course will provide you with an exceptional number of different adjustments and treatment protocols that will most certainly set you apart from others.
Personally, it has been tough to get back into study mode, whilst working and managing everyday mom duties, but it has pushed me to show me I am capable and has improved my skills as a Chiropractor greatly – from revised anatomy, better history takings, visual analysis and helping me trust in my hands more. Professionally I have felt I can be more assertive and give realistic goals and outcomes to patients/parents. I truly feel like more of an expert particularly around cranial distortions and their corrections.
Currently I have a 1-month-old baby girl that started seeing me at 2 weeks because she was very unsettled. Upon examination I had to break the news that this baby’s head was not ideal – a severe scaphocephaly. Immediately I knew how to explain to the parents what this was, what we look out for, how we assess it and treat it. Obviously a possible craniosynostosis is in the forefront of my mind, but we/I have been able to approach this case with logic and goals in mind. So far on visual analysis I can see she is stuck in an extension strain pattern with more marked internal rotation of the right frontal and right temporal bones. There is no sagittal ridging, and her anterior fontanelle is still very much open and palpable. We have done an ultrasound to monitor the sutures and fontanelle for premature closure, and I have been applying my cranial (and pelvic) adjustments. We have already seen some improvement with good growth of her skull, evening out of her nasolabial folds and an overall more settled baby. I feel confident in being able to help this baby but also confident to know when maybe my treatment is not enough.
I would highly recommend this course if treating paeds and kids is a passion of yours, and you want to be the person of excellence in your area. I feel like this course has given me the skills and confidence to be that Chiropractor!
Thank you to both of you for always showing up, being so open and friendly, always answering questions etc. and I truly can’t wait to refine all of this in January with the practical.
