“I took the hands-on course as I wanted to deepen the knowledge I was gaining from the online course. It’s a lot of information, so I knew that getting to take these series in-person after the online course would really help solidify more of my knowledge into something I felt confident using in practice.
It’s very in-depth work, but there are also many simple takeaways that in mastering those, you can help a lot of people more than you did before. That being said don’t get discouraged and just take what you can, when you can and start applying it. Last, these courses inspired me all over again with the power of chiropractic.
The programs reiterated, in a different way, how chiropractic is about tone/stress on the dural system. It also gave me a lot of confidence in working with kids, or talking to their parents. Personally, it was also really nice to meet fellow doctors with this same passion and willingness to keep growing and learning.
I had a 2 year-old who was falling behind on speech and failed his 50-word test. I learned he had a vacuum and forced delivery and when the mom sought out care, I talked to her about the benefits of an assessment just to see how he is adapting to his world. That encouraged her to come in and let her see how he was struggling with numerous imbalances within his system. Within 4 visits he went from hardly speaking to full sentences, more emoting and more eye contact. He had a significant strain on the occiput, with sphenobasilar torsion. Releasing this was life changing.
Honestly, there just isn’t anything like this course. I’ve done some SOT and CST work but this really blends it into the way we work and think as chiropractors. I think that is what makes it so unique and a great fit for those wanting to deepen their cranial skills or learn new ways of seeing and working with the pediatric spine.”

“I took this program to gain more skills sets/techniques/knowledge to better serve the families I take care of.
My three takeaways are:
1. Plenty of information!
2. Taught from DECADES of experience in a meaningful manner
3. A good balance of serious and casual learning atmosphereI’ve been able to use some of the analyses and techniques in practice to ask deeper questions, find different sources of a health concern, and approach differently to see better results. Utilizing inner cranial/palate balancing in order to help a baby and mother latch more effectively allowing the feeding to be easier. This also decreased reflux, irritability, and bowel discomfort. Less stress for the entire family.
I would recommend this program. There is so much info that you won’t get anywhere else. I think Chiropractors need to continually keep up with their learning in order to be their absolute best. We know we can help create better, happier, healthier families. We need all the possible skills and knowledge to do so. This course is absolutely part of that learning process. Sign up and have fun!”

“I decided to take this course as a recent graduate wanting to expand my knowledge in SOT specific pediatric adjusting programs. Having young kids myself with certain visual cranial subluxation patterns, I wanted to study from trusted instructors so that I would be able to implement my own techniques for my children and pediatric patients in practice.
If you have any desire to see a pediatric population in your practice, it is imperative to take specific courses geared toward chiropractic cranial and spinal adjusting and this course covers everything comprehensively in which you are able to implement the techniques into your office immediately after learning the techniques and analysis. It is absolutely worth every penny to travel and study with such highly experienced and talented doctors if you It is going to take thousands upon thousands of hours of study, patient encounters, and time spent perfecting craft with trusted colleagues to become an expert; however, it is possible and it is evident with the many doctors that show up over and over again to seminars across the country. Well, done to all!
The emotional healing I have experienced personally in watching my 2 year old daughter unwind from maladaptive cranial subluxation patterns and blossom into a vibrant, chatty, and wonderfully expressed daughter – due to the connection and patient care of a fellow colleague that has studied with Drs. Rosen and Watson – is worth more than gold to me. I am forever grateful personally. Professionally, I have seen craniums begin to balance with the processes that are learned in this program when implemented properly. Having graduated only years ago, I feel blessed to start my career off strong and confident in my clinical care for the pediatric population in my community.
I began care of an infant born with severe torticollis and sacral subluxation due to frank breech fetal positioning and watched this sweet baby relax and have a bowel movement shortly after her first adjustment and mother’s report that she latched well. She had been inconsolable and not feeding well since her birth the week prior. After creating a strong spinal foundation, I began to perform the chiropractic cranial adjusting techniques on this patient and watched her entire cranium and face reshape itself by truly focusing my best efforts on her occipital and sphenobasilar subluxations. The parents reported an incredible change overall in the patient’s entire demeanor, health, and sleep patterns due to her care.
I am honored and grateful to have been able to travel from Iowa to three different states to attend these seminars. It is an incredible amount of information and when supported with continued attendance and study of their ancillary textbooks, it is practice changing. After I started this program I watched my practice demographic thrive and grow in numbers. It is worth the investment to bring highly effective and skilled training to your community if you can. Your patients as little as days old —to walking into the office with a cane will be grateful for the techniques you learn overall in the program.
I want to reiterate to anyone considering studying and taking the programs Drs. Rosen and Watson have to offer, I highly urge you to take that jump! These two have been instructing for 40+ years and have a wealth of knowledge ready to share with the next generation of pediatric chiropractors!”

“This program has lots of hands-on time, which is the most important for what we do!
I always love learning more about chiropractic. This course has reminded me that there is still so much more to learn!
I have a patient who has a chronically short left leg. Often, his left leg would come close to even but remain a hair short after an adjustment. The SOR balancing technique balanced his leg length!
This course opens up a world of different ways to adjust that are squarely in the realm of chiropractic (not PT or “manipulation”) and easy to apply on Monday.
Thank you for what you do!”

“I took this course to gain insight and proficiency in caring for my pediatric patients.
Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:
1. The hands on time, setting up on other participants, really helps to solidify the concepts being taught
2. There is so much more potential for neurological improvement with cranial adjusting than I had ever realized, having this new skill is transforming my practice
3. Taking the class in person rather than online is incredibly beneficial. Not just having the opportunity to get hands on, but also being able to network with other like-minded chiropractors and discover other ways to implement these techniques into practice is tremendously helpful.Professionally, taking this course has helped me be able to serve my patients even better than I already have been. I recently used several of the cranial adjusting techniques on a young girl who had been fighting a virus, fever, congestion, cough, etc. for several days. Her mother said within an hour of the adjustment she was up and playing as if not sick at all.
I would recommend that anyone wanting to grow a pediatric practice take this course. The insights and techniques that are taught here have helped me become more well-rounded in my care. The extra tools in my toolbox help me have the confidence to care for a broader base of health concerns.
One of the reasons I would highly recommend taking this course is because patients appreciate the value of continued education. I had one mom say, “I love that you keep learning. It shows that you really care about our kids, you really want to help them heal and be their best.” It doesn’t get better than that!
Thanks, this has been a great course. I really appreciate what I learned in the cranial course specifically. I have applied many of the techniques already, and keep adding new ones each week. Can’t wait for the last course.”
