    My three takeaways from this program:
    1. More certainty with treating the pediatric community. 2. More tools in my toolbox – able to use different approaches for every single patient. 3. Deeper knowledge of the cranium and its profound effect.

    I have been able to implement and practice a lot of the things I have learned in this class with my daughter and niece. I feel a lot more confident with the advanced techniques and know I am able to impact the pediatric patients much more effectively.

    I had a patient that was struggling to crawl properly and by using some of the evaluation techniques that you taught us, I was able to figure out where the issue was coming from and she started crawling within a few visits!

    Absolutely! I recommend this program. So much knowledge to gain and both of you are such a great resource. Love the Facebook community too! Cannot recommend them enough!!

    “This was my second time taking this course. Both times have been practice-changing for me. I felt stuck with many of my pediatric patients, and knew I could offer them so much more.

    The concept of less is more takes on new meaning when working with specific cranial adjusting. Understanding the relationship of the spine as a whole and ways to access subluxations from a different perspective has been extremely beneficial. Learning to approach the nervous system through specific objective indicators and corrections, instead of just subjective symptoms, has helped tremendously.

    This program has deepened my understanding of the interconnected nature of the entire body. One tiny adjustment can change the course of a patient’s trajectory. It has improved my competence and confidence both as a practitioner and as a person.

    I had an infant patient who was originally seeing a different chiropractor that was not trained to the same level, especially with cranial adjusting. Baby had been under care for 3 months with minimal improvement and worsening plagiocephaly. After only 2 adjustments his parents noticed a significant change, and after 5 adjustments his head shape had returned to normal and he was symptom-free.

    This course improved every aspect of my chiropractic skills and ability to help my patients.

    This course expanded my understanding of the true capabilities of chiropractic. Taking healing to a deeper level and knowing I can help my patients has contributed to the amazing results we are seeing. Now having the confidence to convey this knowledge in a clear and effective way to patients keeps our practice continuously growing. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are endlessly supportive and teach in a way that I can understand without being too overwhelmed. I would recommend this course to any chiropractor looking to take their practice and skills to the next level.

    Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are invaluable leaders in the chiropractic world. They help us to reach a higher standard of patient education and care. I am eternally grateful for their work and dedication to our profession. Thank you!”
