Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.Dr. Brian Douts
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.
Dr. Pamela Stone
I took this program because I want to stay up on cranial work, and continue to learn.
This overall Peak Potential program is furthering my knowledge, expanding my skill, providing more confidence, and allowing me to interact with other professionals better.
This was an introductory class and available for non-DC’s. It still is great to keep this information at the top of your mind.
One child recently came in with severe plagiocephaly, he was headed for a helmet and I started working on him and it improved significantly, very noticeable to the visual eye. He came in last week and had been fitted for a helmet and the doctor told them it may only be one month of wearing it instead of the 6 months they initially thought because his head had improved so much.
Keep doing what you are doing.

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.
Dr. Larissa Rice Forsberg
I took this program to learn more about tongue-ties and cranial distortions so I can offer more sound information to parents. To help babies and parents enjoy the first months together.
My three takeaways:
Primitive reflexes are very important and need to be tested.
Multi-discipline is very important when dealing with TOTs.
Earlier is the best, primary up to 6 weeks.
This program has left me on the same quest of why I took the class to find out what to do with these children and how to change parents’ perceptions.I think this is a good overview class if you haven’t had any cranial education.
Dr. Maybelle Heng
The main purpose of taking this class is to understand more about cranial distortion and the impact on childhood development. Also I hope to learn more about the normal development of an infant through the early years. What to look for in terms of the abnormality.
That 90% of the brain cells are formed during the first year and the adult myelination is present by the end of the second year. That’s quite mind blowing to me. That the first 6 years of the childhood programming will pretty much affect that child for the rest of his or her life. It makes me reflect on my own and my siblings’ childhood. That common abnormal in child cranial distortion should not be overlooked or brushed off as normal.
The knowledge that I know now will impact how I will look for my own child in the future and professionally it gives me more confidence to advise clients that just have their own child about their development.
Checking and explaining to my new mom and the information about her child development was really appreciated by her. She commented that her pediatric wasn’t as thorough as me. And as a result, she refers more clients in.
Thank you so much for taking time putting this course together. The information is really cool and I don’t see it in other places.
