Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.-

Brigitte DeLashmette, MD
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.

Thank you so much Dr. Rosen for access to the course.
It was very informative and very helpful. I treat infants and always understand that the first 1000 days are critical in their development and that many things mimic a tongue tie and we work with an osteopathic physician and some chiropractors to help alleviate somatic dysfunction, subluxations, occipital condylar compression and other birth trauma. We use non-surgical laser 1064 nm wavelength (Babylase) to help release fascial restrictions and integrate cranial nerves to improve function. Sometimes surgical intervention is needed but not before calming the ANS. And we follow the infants closely (every 3months) to monitor proper growth and development. Generally treating and collaborating for Structure, function, behavior, neurology, nutrition and posture.
I was particularly intrigued by the CSF study at 6 months of age that could help to identify those that were diagnosed with Autism later.
Again, thank you for this course and for standing up for the most vulnerable amongst us. We preach every day that ‘common does not equal normal.

I took it to gain more knowledge on specific facial patterns I see on the daily to help me identify what’s going on better. It was more entry level than I thought, but I gained some basics that will help me relate to parents.
This is a general course that gives you a broad awareness of cranial distortions and why is important. It’s given me some tools, but I’m going to build on this through working through some of the previous course material to help me correct the distortions I see on the table
I would say I’m more show and tell on the table with parents and can help them understand the importance of what I’m seeing that is often not why the parent brought their child in, but relates to it so much. I really enjoy learning this work.

This was informative, very clear and concise and having a mom/parent share here knowledge and experience was brilliant.
It solidified some insights for me in clear ways in order to explain more simply to parents some concepts.
Sharing soft tissue growth can be impacted by alignment of the skull, hit home or landed more with parents. I feel using the language to parents that they are in control of the input and choices they make, yet the longer you delay help can impact development due to compensation patterns.
Yes, I would recommend this course, it is- a great introductory course to what you do for families and docs
Thank you for all that you do!

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!
