    This was incredibly worthwhile as each week had a bite sized amount of content so you can really learn the material at a good pace, and implement what you’ve learned on the table. I loved the drip content and the Q and A sessions that brought everything together and in a practical way. I loved the adjustment technique for addressing an anterior atlas and first rib. I am using these adjustments daily! I am already incorporating it in practice. The different places for vagus nerve entrapment, the new adjustments I’ve learned, and how to assess the occiput and upper neck especially, with more intent and specificity.

    I would recommend this course, because the material is SO relevant in this day and age, especially when dealing with the downfall of the pandemic and the huge increase in vagal nerve dysfunction. The assessment is straightforward, gentle, and specific.

    I have been caring for the pediatric population for over 14 years now and I absolutely love it. What I found extremely beneficial about this course is its relevance to this period of time, the clarity it has brought me with regards to how and where the vagus nerve can be compressed/tractioned, and how we can be so specific in our analysis and adjustments to really help our patients. I found the bite sized weekly classes perfect. I found the videos very beneficial, and do NOT MISS the Q and A sessions for more clarity. I really looked forward to each week as we went through the course, and the homework helped me really learn the material. Even though I could not be physically present, I found this layout to be a great pace for me, and hopefully when I can get back to in person learning, I will be that much more informed to really get the most out of the hands-on learning. Thank you for an awesome 10 weeks!

    I took this program to help improve the effectiveness of my chiropractic technique and therefore my clients’ ability to heal and relax.

    These techniques are easy to add into whatever chiropractic technique you already do. There are clear before and after indicators to ensure you have made the correction. It is a quick and easy technique to use.

    This program has made me more aware of the importance of the vagus nerve and its role in healing. This has led us at our centre to create a relaxation experience from the moment our clients walk into our centre.

    I want to improve the quality of treatment for patients and grow myself through more advanced treatment techniques.

    My three takeaways from this program:
    1. Treatment of patients with trapezius muscle tension.
    2. Headache and dizziness.
    3. Gastrointestinal diseases caused by the influence of the vagus nerve.

    While taking this lecture, I was able to study a wider range personally, and it became an opportunity for my treatment techniques to develop further professionally.

    Patients suffering from chronic indigestion and headaches caused by tension in the vagus nerve were treated by applying the techniques learned through this lecture, and the symptoms were greatly improved.

    I really enjoyed learning more in depth about occipital side slip and compression. I felt confused in this area during other classes and this really broke it down even more and explained it better. I really enjoyed doing the cranial specific Vagus release inner oral technique and have already seen a difference in a few patients with gut issues. Also learning about the anterior atlas and how to test for it was very eye-opening and it makes so much sense now once it was explained.

    I feel like taking these courses has only added to my bag of tricks so to say to help with those cases that are maybe normally ones that I would send out. I feel I am getting stronger in these areas.

    Last week I was working on an adult patient and worked the occipital compression technique and they had immediate relief when they got up from the table and were amazed. I had one pediatric patient that was still having torticollis issues and I started implementing the anterior atlas and hopefully we will see a change in symptoms soon.

    I always recommend your courses because they are so in-depth and it gives you so much information that you can take and start implementing into your practice. I have already been sharing information about the anterior Atlas with the other doctor in my office.

    Thank you so much for another great program.

    My three takeaways:
    1. Lots of valuable information.
    2. Weekly videos and course content but allowed to go at their own pace.
    3. Next day clinical application.

    In taking this course, I’ve realized that I utilize several of the techniques taught but didn’t realize they were all correlated to the vagus nerve. It opened up new clinical thinking and targeted more vagus nerve involvement in practice.

    Specifically, checking for 1st Rib and Clavicle involvement on a 36 year-old female using the testing shown in this course. Not only did it allow the patient to ‘see’ there was involvement, but after adjusting she couldn’t believe the difference in her ROM and ability to breathe.

    I would recommend this course because it was great information presented in an easy to understand format. I fell behind but was able to continue the study and still get the information and utilize it in practice the next day.

    Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom with us!
