    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’

    Important information for me, it was clearly what I was looking for when I chose to study with you.

    It changed my way of evaluating, and maybe I paid more attention to other aspects so that the type of technique chosen would be more effective.

    There have been many cases where intraoral techniques have been much more effective than those that directly address the bony part of the skull.

    I recommend the course every time .

    I hope to join other courses on your platform soon and maybe, someday, even attend a physical course.

    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 have learned so much about childhood development, cranial bones, and the nervous system through this course! Motor, sensory, and communication developmental milestones are used to track children’s overall neurological development. Cranial distortions are caused by underlying issues including the womb position in pregnancy, prolonged or difficult labor, birth interventions, delivery complications, having the baby on his or her back for long periods of time, and abnormal dural meningeal tension. These distortions are correctable with chiropractic care and parents applying practical action steps for their child. If the compensatory patterns are left uncorrected, these will become the foundation from which the child will develop for the rest of his or her life. Tummy time is so important for a child’s development and breastfeeding also helps support proper cranial dynamics. Regular prenatal chiropractic adjustments are very beneficial in restoring pelvic, spinal, and cranial alignment of the mother, aiding in a more balanced birth process. Health is built from the inside out. Salutogenesis is the idea of promoting and supporting health and well-being.

    This course has equipped me with knowledge which I am able to apply in health coaching. I am also now more aware of the symptoms and facial features of cranial distortions. I would love to help other families, and my future family, notice cranial facial distortions, and take practical action steps to correct any issues.

    I have noticed my head shape, facial structure, and my tongue-tie and lip ties. I am so grateful I had this opportunity to take this course and learn more in the area of childhood development. I am so excited to practice what I have learned!

    Yes, I would highly recommend this course to all ages including my family, friends, church community, and neighbors. Whether you have had children already, will in the future, or know someone with small children, this course is for you! The videos were short and the information was easy to comprehend. The video transcripts, slide show presentations, and the milestone and primary reflex charts were also very helpful. I really enjoy asking questions so the interactive Q&A live calls with speaker presentations and access to the Facebook group were an added bonus for me. Throughout the class, practical action steps were provided for various symptoms, and the causes and effects of those symptoms were also explained. Thank you so much to Dr. Rosen, Dr. Watson, and Mrs. Dalidowitz for sharing their expertise! I really loved this course and am looking forward to taking other Peak Potential Institute classes!
