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.

Dr. Michelle-Cheri Beech Cloete
Thank you for your lifelong dedication to our profession, and for fulfilling a calling and integral role of what I see as the missing links on the foundational chiropractic courses – cranial work, practical neonate/infant/baby/toddler/child assessment and treatment protocols and an approach to the nervous system that is still manual and practical.
The content and presentation have been extremely valuable. Your involvement, via the Facebook page, emails, webinars and the hands-on, in person workshop that is still to come is absolutely walking the extra mile and we do appreciate it.
I have especially enjoyed the Kajabi app with the videos that I have often rewatched, to help integrate the practical side of the coursework with correct technique. This has allowed me to implement the coursework with confidence into my practice since the beginning.
This course has truly changed the way I practice, especially with interesting cases like a Ticks case that I would not have previously had a clue on approaching.
I trust that this course was in investment into my personal growth as a chiropractor, practice and community, and especially in my family.
Suggestions to fellow colleagues attending this course is to get an infant skull prior to starting the course and to buy the textbook to save time with printing the slides and coursework. In busy practice, one doesn’t always have the time to print out the new coursework every week.
May you and Peak Potential Institute continue to thrive as pioneers in our profession.

Conditions we can help, what to look for each condition, importance of CSF
I am Way more comfortable with some conditions in pediatrics, but also with adults.
Numbness of trigeminal nerve. She was referred to a neurologist but no improvement. Her numbness was gone with a few appointments only.
Yes, I would recommend this program, it’s complete and has a lot of stuff to learn.

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.
Understand CSF physiology and into the critical role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the central nervous system. Learn chiropractic cranial adjusting techniques to improve CSF flow and neurological regulation.
Taught by Dr. Ken Cooper, Lead Instructor – Peak Potential InstituteFor chiropractors and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in the understanding of cranial bone motion and dynamics.
This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
You’ll learn:
- The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
- We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
- How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
- Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
- The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
