Dr. Christian Alejandro
Pediatric chiropractic is much more important than I imagined. The necessary adjustment at the right time in a baby’s life can completely change their development.
I am more aware of how necessary it is for people to know about chiropractic and what its real purpose is.
I saw Pablo (1.5 months old) and in June Elena, two siblings with different problems. Pablo was brought in because of dyschezia, and Elena (7 years old) had trouble falling asleep (her parents reported that sometimes it could take her two hours to fall asleep), and once she did, it wasn’t deep sleep (any noise would wake her). Although I didn’t apply any specific technique, the way I began the assessment and determined the necessary adjustments helped me with these children. In Pablo’s case, the dyschezia disappeared after the third session. In Elena’s case, she was able to sleep after the first session (her parents say that she falls asleep as soon as her pillow touches it), and now she loves going for checkups.
It’s a course packed with valuable information that, in my opinion, can only be acquired through many years of practice. This course makes that knowledge readily available for study, analysis, and application in your practice.

My takeaways: Understanding the cranial work and CSF flow A different technique and perspective of assessing the baby More confidence in treating and support the babies.
It has broadened my clinical perspective and helped me better understand the cranial system, CSF flow and how SOT can be applied when caring for babies. It has also motivated me to improve my assessment skills and deepen my knowledge so I can provide more confident and appropriate care for the babies . It has made me more passionate about helping mothers and their babies. Working in a family chiropractic clinic, I now appreciate even more how important early support and education can be for families.
Sacral occipital respiratory motion(SOR) . I gained a better understanding of the relationship between cranial and sacral movement and their role in the SOT approach to supporting CSF circulation and can feel the improvement on the meningeal tension inside the body.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this course to other chiropractors, especially those who are interested in developing their paediatric skills. The course is very detailed and well-structured, with sufficient time to go through the materials, understand the concepts and complete the learning at a comfortable pace. I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge from Martin Rosen’s teaching, particularly in understanding the cranial and sacral systems and their application in paediatric care. It has given me a stronger foundation and encouraged me to continue exploring and improving my skills in this area.
I’m very grateful for the knowledge and guidance from you all throughout the program. It has been a valuable learning experience.

The Peak Potential Institute is excited to present Dr. Courtney Neill’s online program, “The Role of Primitive Reflexes in Neurological Organization.” This course goes beyond understanding primitive reflexes—it provides practical assessment and integration exercises that chiropractors can use to help address retained primitive reflex patterns.
Dr. Neill guides participants through the development of the different levels of the brain and explains how neurological input, motor output, developmental milestones, and primitive reflexes work together during normal neurological organization. You’ll learn how to recognize retained primitive reflexes and understand how they may influence sensory processing, coordination, posture, movement patterns, and higher-level neurological function.
What Can Oral Movement Tell Us About the Person?
The way a person breathes, rests the tongue, moves the jaw, chews and swallows can reveal important relationships among cranial function, airway development, posture and oral function.
Oral movement does not occur in isolation. It develops within an integrated system involving the cranium, nervous system, airway, palate, temporomandibular joints, cervical spine and the body’s ability to adapt to gravity and movement.
In this six-week online program, Dr. Erin Rosen takes you from the foundations of the living, adaptable cranium through cranial motion, airway and sinus development, palatal form, sucking, chewing, tongue function and swallowing.
Cranial distortion patterns, including Plagiocephaly now affects nearly 1 in 2 infants, yet many practitioners are trained to view it as cosmetic rather than neurological and biomechanical. This comprehensive program is designed specifically for chiropractors who want a clear, structured protocol for evaluating and managing cranial asymmetry with precision and confidence.
This course goes far beyond identifying a “flat head.” You will learn how plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly reflect deeper dural meningeal tension patterns, cranial base distortions, spinal involvement, and CSF imbalance, all of which influence growth, posture, and neurological organization.
