1. Extremely thorough material; goes really in depth
2. Other hands-on guides at the seminars really helps make sure it’s being applied as well as possible
3. There are so many useful techniques that help when you need a variety of different approachesI’ve been excited about a new clinical challenge and going back to being a learner. We’ve already had patients improving from additional cranial/SOT work and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface. Personally, I have seen several cranial distortion patterns in my own kids and have been able to help them more through this work.
We have a patient with chronic congestion and swollen tonsils/adenoids who were considering going to the ENT and getting surgery. I did work on an external frontal and sunken sphenoid wing and his mom said there were major changes in just the first week.
I would (and have) recommended the course to others, I’ve loved learning and deepening my skills in this area. And there is a huge need for it.
I did a lot of prep work before the 2nd seminar (read through the whole manual with the skull model and tried to understand the motions) and it really helped not be as overwhelmed. You guys already encourage prep work in advance of the seminar, but pushing that even more heavily would help everyone get more out of it! Thanks for everything you do!”

“My three takeaways:
1. How important it is to start giving care to newborns as soon as you can to have them function as optimally as they can
2. We view the body differently and examine the body differently so when hope is getting diminished we offer a new outlet of helping patients improve
3. To other DCs the amount of education that goes behind preparing the courses is next level. The mastery that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson along with the assistants are amazing and is something I strive to master at as wellIt has been great to have conversations with patients and family/friends about how gentle yet effective chiropractic is for the pediatric population when all that is generally offered for many situations are drugs or surgery . I’ve personally seen a growth in confidence that I have now seen in the pediatric population. I am still learning a lot but with the little takeaways I’ve been getting from the courses that I have been able to implement it’s already making significant changes.
I now have kids come to me excited to get on the table and get adjusted, leave giving me hugs and want to adjust their toys. I have a newborn that has having difficulty latching who is now having an easier time.
I would recommend this course. It’s a lot of material which is amazing because the mastery that when behind developing the program is next level all with the intent of getting patients better. I truly feel every chiropractor should take this course – if they don’t want to specialize in pediatrics that’s fine but at least they then have a deeper understanding and appreciation for what pediatric chiropractors do and how every child should get checked.
I think you guys do a fantastic job of crossing all your t’s and dotting your i’s to make it easy for all the different types of learners.”

“I gained more confidence, proficiency and knowledge in working with babies and kids.
I have more confidence in what I love to do. The cranial work has impacted my whole practice for the better.
It raised the standard of care in my office overall.
Thank you!”

“I have a large number of pre/post-natal and pediatric patients and wanted to be able to serve their needs to the best of my capacity. I specifically wanted to learn the cranial adjustments in course 2.
My takeaway is to plan on taking the course multiple times if you are new to SOT – it’s an enormous amount of information. This program gave me more knowledge and tools for my tool box.”

“I took this course to increase my confidence and competence in evaluating and adjusting my pediatric patients specifically.
This program helps the chiropractor articulate the importance of chiropractic care for the pediatric population and offers exceptional evaluation and adjusting protocols as well as gives the chiropractor confidence in caring for the pediatric population. This program has helped me develop my communication skills in explaining the importance of chiropractic care as well as helped me to perfect my evaluation and adjusting techniques.
Recently I had a mom and dad bring their newborn in – they had tried unsuccessfully to have children for over 6 years, so this baby was their miracle baby. They were scared to see a chiropractor but their daughter was unable to turn her head to the left and had significant plagiocephaly. They had already been to physical therapy with no change and were facing putting a helmet on their child. After a couple weeks of using this work on their daughter she not only could turn to her left unassisted but her head shape changed so much that when they returned for another helmet consult she was no longer a candidate for a helmet. Obviously, it was awesome she no longer needed a helmet after such a short time, but they really understood the importance of the work I was doing because I was able to communicate what I had learned from taking this course. They felt confident sharing with their MD what I was working on and shared the chiropractic message for me.
I would absolutely recommend this course to every chiropractor, especially if you plan on seeing pediatric patients. I am so thankful I was able to take this course and expand my knowledge on cranial adjusting! The ability to not only evaluate and adjust but to communicate what we do is highlighted in this course. This knowledge will give you confidence to talk to every person you meet and turn them into a lifelong chiropractic patient.”
