About the Program

Welcome to the SOT® Pediatric Certificate Program and the home of Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting TM methods. We are proud to offer one of the most comprehensive pediatric certification programs in the chiropractic profession. With over 80 years of combined clinical practice and teaching experience, our commitment to education and chiropractic excellence is second to none. 

We are seeking individuals who are committed to elevating the delivery of the chiropractic adjustment as the forefront of their practice. If you share our passion for advancing patient care through precise and effective adjusting techniques, we invite you to join our community and embark on a journey towards professional excellence with us.

Our Pediatric Certificate Program provides two avenues for certification: a 10-month online program and a 48-hour hybrid (16 hours online, 32 hours in-person) seminar series. Upon completing either of these programs, participants will be listed in our exclusive Pediatric Referral Directory and invited to join our membership program. Our members, who have found their professional home with us, aspire to master our techniques, and may eventually choose to join the Peak Potential Institute as part of our training staff.

Welcome aboard, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

Meet the Instructors

As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

Feedback from Our Students

    “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.”

    “I decided to take the Pediatric SOT series to help enhance my skills with treating the pediatric population. Continued learning has helped me provide top notch care for all patients in need Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy have a passion for bettering the chiropractic profession.

    Though the treatment protocols take time to master you are able to implement some small steps immediately when returning to your office. The importance of ‘sharpening’ our skills helps us be masters of the techniques we use in our offices. Professionally and personally Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy have become part of my chiropractic family and are amazing mentors. They help keep the teachings of the SOT protocols congruent with the philosophy of chiropractic.

    Over the past year I have incorporated many of the cranial applications including adding measurements of the cranium in my exam. This simple additional step of using calipers helps parents see the changes almost immediately. It helps reaffirm their choice to seek care as they can measure change.

    I absolutely would recommend the course to others. The SOT paradigm clearly seeks to treat patients on all spectrums of spinal conditions. It is protocol dependent, and results are easy to come by when you follow the steps. I would take this course year after year just to be around the masters of the technique. Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy are leaders in the SOT community. Coming from Nebraska where Dr. Marty was taught the technique years ago has opened a network of patients waiting for the next generation chiropractor to take over their care. I love learning from the best and hope that the education continues to flourish with these two!”
