    1. Details: So much info learnt from this program, allows me to see the whole spine and nervous system differently.
    2. Specificity: Each cranial bone requires a different approach and ways to improve, walking through the steps taught in this program is useful .
    3. Connect: It is more than just fixing problem, it’s connecting the whole nervous system to optimize health.

    I was worried and stressed when coming to cranial adjustments; after this program I am able to understand cranial adjustments better and utilized this in my peds practice in clinic.

    Techniques related to TMJ – I didn’t know TMJ will affect so much in peds, and it is something that I would ignored previously.

    Yes, I would recommend this program. 3 of my colleagues are coming to the course in Malaysia. We can’t wait to help babies and kids better with knowledge learned in this problem.

    Thank you very much for developing this program online, it is a very precious opportunity for us in Malaysia to learn about this! And very excited to see you in Malaysia.

    Three great takeaways from this course: 1. Clearer, More Structured Paediatric Assessment Framework 2. An excellent system for evaluating infants and children through: refined cranial, spinal, and dural tension assessment 3. A great understanding of segmental motion, tone, and developmental movement patterns.

    This course has greatly enhanced my skills and confidence in assessing and treating infants. I now have a clearer framework for identifying tension patterns and applying gentle, effective techniques. Personally, it has fueled the “why” in terms of my passion for paediatric care.

    During a follow-up with a 3-month-old infant presenting with frequent arching, irritability, and mild feeding difficulties (often associated with reflux-related tension). The palate arch was very narrow which caused latching issues. I applied a gentle occipital cranial release as taught in the SOT course to balancing cranial motion. Also did a Sphenoid Flexion Release via Pterygoid Contact Outcome: Within a few sessions, the infant was noticeably calmer neck and head posture improved tolerance of feeding positions, reduced arching and easier settling for sleep Parents reported the baby was more comfortable and content, and feeding sessions were smoother, less arching noted and generally the family was all round so relieved.

    Yes, it is a great way to learn new adjustment skills, up-skill and improve pediatric care for the community. Improves networking with other health care professionals.
