Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development

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 because I wanted to study SOT in more depth. So I chose this course and hoped that it would provide a good study on craniofacial distortion.

Having studied this course, my three takeaways are cranial and facial distortion, developmental potential and nervous system development

I tried to be more careful and in-depth when seeing patients, and it had a positive impact on my life.

Thank you very much for giving such excellent lectures.

I am a holistic dentist always looking to expand my knowledge. My first granddaughter experienced a tongue tie revision and plagiocephaly treatment.

My three takeaways: A child’s growth is deeply multifaceted. Childhood conditions and diseases should not be commonplace and should be re-evaluated from a different angle. Normal and common should not be interchangeable terms when talking about childhood development.

I personally witnessed my granddaughter go through a tongue tie revision and improve her ability to feed. My granddaughter’s head shape changed drastically through PT, body work and chiropractic care and no longer needs a helmet. Her cranial asymmetry went from 5.1 to 0.8, without a helmet!

I evaluate my pediatric dental patients more thoroughly and ask parents more questions about their infant hood and milestone timelines.

Thank you for a great course!

I enrolled in this course to help me identify cranial facial distortions and patterns more effectively and to be able to explain to parents why they should seek additional consultation.

My three takeaways are:

It’s important to understand the relationship between structure and function.
Parents should trust their instincts and seek professional help if concerned.
The first year of life is so important for neurological development.
I will look at my clients differently and try to match structure with function more successfully.

I gave a parent specific examples of cranial facial distortions: one eye bigger, ears sitting lower, head tilted and referred.

This was a lot of valuable information. I wish you could have shown many case studies all throughout but especially in the later weeks of actual patients and pointed out the distortion patterns you see, what they mean, and what you would do about it. It is also helpful to see a patient from initial consultation to completion of care.

I took it to gain more knowledge on specific facial patterns I see on the daily to help me identify what’s going on better. It was more entry level than I thought, but I gained some basics that will help me relate to parents.

This is a general course that gives you a broad awareness of cranial distortions and why is important. It’s given me some tools, but I’m going to build on this through working through some of the previous course material to help me correct the distortions I see on the table

I would say I’m more show and tell on the table with parents and can help them understand the importance of what I’m seeing that is often not why the parent brought their child in, but relates to it so much. I really enjoy learning this work.
