    I took the course to broaden my knowledge and better serve my patients.

    The program is a great refresher for the structures of the cranium, it correlates how malpositions of cranial structures can affect neurological development. The course also draws your attention to details that other clinicians miss.

    This course has helped me as a parent know what indicators to look for as possible cranial subluxations in my children. Professionally, it has given me better verbiage to explain how what we see ties into what’s going on the inside.

    I was able to use the skills learned in this course to better explain to a parent how changing their child’s position while both sleeping and playing along with Chiro care could help resolve the flat spot in their baby’s head and help improve their mood. The baby is making great progress in care.

    This course was great groundwork for courses that I plan to take in the future. When reviewing the transcripts, I was able to visualize myself exposing this to parents.

    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 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 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.

    I wanted to take this course online so it could fit the ebb and flow of my life time-management-wise. I hoped to get out of it in more detail on topics Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson had touched on in classes I have taken, and also to experience it being broken down at a different pace and rhythm than the other classes I have taken, It did not disappoint.

    Having taken classes in person and online with Peak Potential Institute, and having watched the program develop and deepen over that time, three takeaways include: These classes are extremely well made and thought out. With so many simple talking-head videos passing for online courses out on the web, these classes provide transcripts, slide shows, and regular assignments. Love that. Kajabi provides a robust platform that has not lagged or skipped in my experience and I love that. This legacy of education is priceless. I also appreciate that some of the classes offered, like this one, are geared towards not just chiropractors, and that broadened the usefulness as it was considered and included information that helped me be more effective and agile with parents.

    My niece’s son was just born with a fracture in his skull due in no small part to birth trauma and birth idiocy on the part of the hospital. My thought process in treating and evaluating MJ as well as how I communicate with my niece and sister have been impacted and we all benefit from that.

    Well done. Your programs just get more and more robust and luscious!
