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

This course was recommended to me by my friend and colleague. I was hoping to learn the causes of cranial facial distortions and their impact on development.

My three takeaways are: CSF buildup and its effect, common is not normal, and the effects of compensations that form when development is abnormal

This course has reminded me and made me more aware of how birth/development can be impacted by tension and other restrictions

I have been able to apply this info to some of my cases. A student with severe sensory aversions, toe walking and low tone has a history of traumatic birth and vacuum delivery. It has been hard to get parents to follow through with cranial work, but I hope this course will have helped me explain the rationale better so they can understand.

Thank you! I loved the doctor shares the most and also the Facebook page was interesting too!

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!

As a new mom whose child had significant birth trauma, I realized the importance of craniosacral technique for child development overall. I’ve always been interested in this technique but didn’t have the time to take other courses.

I love the flexibility of the classes, content is amazing and can be applied to practice immediately and the app makes things easier.

Taking this program has solidified my desire to get certified in SOT and become proficient at it. There is so much need.

I currently have a 5 month old baby who had significant birth trauma therefore everything in this class was and is relevant for me form understanding more about cranial distortions caused by the birthing process, to milestones, primitive reflexes and especially tongue tie section given that during this course my son had a tongue tie revision. This course helped me find the right provider and know what to do after.

I love your classes and hope to continue learning from both of you. I wish I was closer to Boston.

I took this program as a refresher on information.

This course is easy to complete, easy to understand and good information. This was a good review.

I thought things were explained well.

I decided to take this course after many years working with developmental professionals from chiropractors to speech therapists, occupational therapists, vision therapists, neurofeedback scientists, early interventionists, nutrition coaches, and special education staff and advocates. Every professional has a different knowledge base which creates gaps in knowledge and educating parents. I wanted to hear Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy’s take on a very much overlooked foundational piece of the puzzle, and what it means for overarching development of the whole child.

Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:

1) Physical appearance is often related to functional differences and compensatory patterns, which impact normal development 2) Common is not the same as normal 3) Trust your instincts and get help even if your professional tells you that development seems on track; you are your child’s best advocate and first teacher.

This course put together many pieces of the puzzle for me, connecting physical restrictions with development in the brain, tongue-tie and global effects down the line in development of the face, teeth, jawline, and particular distortions and movement patterns to notice when observing a child.

I was able to speak with confidence to a family who had opted for a helmet for their child, and had not yet not sought chiropractic care at the time. I was able to explain the importance of addressing the compensatory patterns which arise from the torticollis and plagiocephaly, and describe how the sutures experience a lot of tension and force with helmet use. Further, I was able to link these patterns with visible vision and tracking difficulties, as well as other compromised developmental milestones that were easily identifiable by the parents.

Thank you so much for making this course available to the public! I would love to see it featured through PBS, Gaia, and/or mainstream parenting support websites.
