Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.-

Dr. Sonia McGowin
I love everything Dr. Rosen offers, and this topic was especially interesting to me. We do extensive work in my clinic with complex kids, tongue ties and primitive reflexes. Just hoping to learn even more.
This is a nice introduction to cranial distortions. Excellent explanation of primitive reflexes Important info on plagiocephaly and how to measure and classify it.
This program has given me some additional exam points to include.
We have a complete TOTs program which also ends up including facial asymmetries, torticollis, plagiocephaly, etc. It’s important to help parents see how it’s all connected.
Always such great information. Thank you!

I took this program to help with infant care in practice.
My takeaways are how to notice facial distortions, body movements, tongue tie.
This program has helped me notice cranial distortions in my grandchildren, and has helped me help moms.

I took this class as a refresher on facial distortion patterns and how to correct them. I was also interested in digging deeper into retained reflexes.
This program reviewed how to do a baby cranial exam. It was a good reference for parents and other practitioners needing an understanding of how the baby can be helped with chiropractic care and it was a good review of reflexes and time frames for them.
Thus course has helped me do better exams and helped me understand retained reflexes better.
I have a baby that came into the office with failure to put on weight and constantly throwing up. He was tiny and grumpy and at 3 months had not put on any weight from birth. I did a more thorough exam than I might have before and started adjusting him and working with his cranials and he is not throwing up as much. He is getting bigger and thriving and his head is not flat on the right side any more.
It was a good class. Thank you.

I wanted to learn what signs to look for in infants that may tip off that there are some cranial imbalances that need to be addressed
I’d say one would be to observe, observe, observe – notice details in the face, skull, etc. The other would be that there are things that can be addressed at home if mild, such as placing toys on the restricted side in the instance of torticollis, for example. Third would be the innate intelligence of the body mindset toward potential and growth – I think this is the accurate frame to convey this to patients.
Gave useful information so parents can know when to intervene early to put kids on the best trajectory of potential/development.

I took this program for further understanding of infant health issues and ways chiropractors can adjust or help them.
It was a great review of infant anatomy and health problems infants may have.
It has refreshed me on the anatomy of infant development and I have learned more about infant health problems and signs to look for and I have more certainty in evaluating infants for cranial problems.
