    I took this program to improve my cranial adjusting skills and understanding for the adult and pediatric population.

    I like the segmentation and the Q and A and the availability of the doctors to answer all questions.

    This program has made huge steps forward especially in TMJ issues and autoimmune disease

    I used the Ventricular bulb technique with an MS patient with increased swelling in legs, reduced by 50% the next day.

    I would recommend this program, but probably not to someone who has no hands on prior experience in cranial work due to pressures and understanding of the concept, since this is not a hands-on class.

    The concept is great, and with the video format I could re-watch the segments, using it with having a volunteer on the table and let the techniques ‘sink in’

    I wanted to learn more about cranial adjusting. I didn’t realize this was more geared toward the general public with an overview of cranial and development.

    To add to my practice and help support patients more: 1 – do a more thorough eval of primitive reflexes in infants 2 – tongue tie check 3 – I like the cranial distortions sheet to use as a guide on evaluations

    I like the list of specific things parents can do to help their child develop.

    I added more primitive reflexes to my exam and have a better base line to check pre- and post-care.

    Before taking this class, I was doing cranial adjusting from what I learned through KST. I wanted to dive into intraoral work and understand deeper how to decrease dural tension and increase CSF flow.

    I wish every chiropractic school would put as much emphasis on cranial adjusting as they do upper cervical analysis.

    This program elevates the level of service that I and any chiropractor who takes this class can give to their patients. There have been dozens of people who I have cared for over 28 years that for the first time I have found other neurological imbalances and addressed it.
    The online program is perfect for the practicing chiropractor since one can view a short video and practice it right away. A weekend seminar provides through information, but for me would be too much to process and integrate. This is a slow drip method that one can do at their own pace and they can watch and rewatch over and over again.
    I have seen an array of cases of the past 28 years yet there was still room to broaden my scope to be able to help more complicated neurological cases. The 12-year-old boy with Rett’s for instance was up out of his wheelchair and put pressure on his feet with the help of his mom for the first time in 2 years after only 2 cranial adjustments!!! Before coming to the office, he would have a seizure every time he urinated and that is gone too!!! Those results are priceless and will open the door to see others like him whose parents are looking for solutions. Personally, that has brought me immense joy to have that kind of impact on a family who has to give this sweet boy 24/7 care by easing their stress and giving them some hope. An added message…When the mother took her son to his neurologist the other day, she told him what I was doing with her son and he looked me up on my website, social media, and reviews and then explained to her how this technique I was doing was helping her son!! That was a WOW to me and is soooooooooo much more rewarding that just helping someone’s back feel better. Our office is about family wellness, so by sharing this testimonial with other people we serve, we will attract more new people with cranial issues that we can successfully address.

    Another example would be instead of just adjusting someone’s TMJ as I would in the past, I now am addressing cranial distortions that are causing the TMJ to many of my patients. This is bringing more long lasting results.

    YES!!! I would recommend this program. Everyone has had an impact to their cranium (chiropractors too) and unless it is addressed, it will continue to affect the physiology of their body. No matter what technique one uses, this course will only maximize results and better function for their patients.

    The two of you are masters at cranial work and I appreciate feeling like a beginner at something even after 28 years of practice that I feel is a game changer to making what we offer even more special and unique than the medical profession and what other chiros in my area are doing.

    I took this program to expand my detailed knowledge of Pediatric Chiropractic.

    There were great Details, Sound Knowledge Base and Professional Presenters.

    I know have a more solid foundation and certainty with Pediatrics.

    I have been seeing many more babies in practice and getting great results.

    Thank you!

    I took this program because both of my children and me were tongue-tied. We all had them lasered off by Dr. Billiot or Dr. Kotlow. My son has primal reflexes retained, can be inconsolable at times, had very difficult time sleeping for the first 2 years of life.

    My three takeaways are:

    The importance of seeking professional help when parents notice an issue.
    1. How fast the brain grows the first 2 years of life.
    2. The quicker the issue can be corrected the easier the child’s development will be.
    3. Both my children seem to be congested when they’re not sick. My 2 y/o daughter is worse than my 4 y/o son. Both are mouth breathers but she is worse. I will dive deeper to further help them.

    I have a patient who has plagiocephaly (her bow on her head didn’t sit right/equal around her head) that I was able to help reshape their head. She became a “more pleasant” baby.

    Thank you for offering these courses.
