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


  • Devin Reissing, DC, CACCP
  • Christopher Petracco, DC
  • John McAtamney, DC
  • Kimberley Slew Fong Chong, DC

    My three takeaways:
    1. Deeper understanding of pediatric assessment and care
    2. Practicing this technique, I can be more specific and gentle to my paediatric patients
    3. Understanding more on each paediatric patients needs and how our care can improve their overall well-being.

    Personally, it reminds me that continuous learning and growing is part of the profession. Professionally, it has definitely expanded my knowledge and improved my confidence in assessing paediatrics patients.

    I treated a 5-month-old baby who turned only to the right side while transitioning from supine to prone. After applying the technique, I learned only in one session. The parents reported that the baby’s milk intake increases, sleeps better and the baby is able to turn both sides easily.

    Yes! I would highly recommend it. This program provides much more valuable knowledge and skills that we apply to our practice. Especially we had none of the chiropractic focus on SOT and paediatric in East Malaysia

    I am very grateful for the opportunity given to join this program. It has broadened my perspective on paediatric chiropractic care. It also definitely inspired me to continue learning and improve my skills.

  • Dr. Alex Ashby

    My three takeaways:
    1. The examination protocols are incredibly thorough and give you a systematic way to evaluate pediatric patients.
    2. The techniques are gentle, specific, and immediately applicable in clinical practice.
    3. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson do an excellent job explaining not just how to perform the techniques, but why they matter

    Professionally, it has given me much more confidence evaluating and caring for infants and children. Personally, it has changed how I view the developing nervous system and has given me a greater appreciation for the impact early assessment and intervention can have

    I recently evaluated an infant using the pre-ambulatory examination, including the Atlas/Axis dural restriction assessment and occipital fiber analysis, which helped identify upper cervical and dural tension. After applying the appropriate gentle correction, the infant relaxed noticeably during the visit, and the parents later reported improved comfort, easier nursing, and better sleep over the following few days.

    Yes, I would recommend this program. Whether you’re new to pediatric chiropractic or already seeing children, this program provides practical examination procedures, adjusting techniques, and clinical reasoning that you can start using immediately

    Thank you both for creating such a detailed and clinically applicable program. Your passion for pediatric chiropractic is evident throughout the course, and I appreciate your willingness.
