    “I took this program to improve my adjusting skills with newborns and gain clinical reasoning skills in daily practice. Also to gain a deeper knowledge with cranial corrections procedures.

    1. Detailed knowledge that you can access any time – I am a very visual learner, so I am very grateful about everything I can watch over and over again. For me hands-on seminars are mostly not useful. So thankful that this program exists. 2. Lots of support from experienced doctors – it helped me so much to send e-mails to the doctors and get always amazing answers. 3. Deep information – this program gives you a detailed and wide variety of information for cranial adjusting.

    Taking this program gave me: – more information = more confidence in the practice – adjusting protocols = find subluxations faster – get a frame on how to adjust complex problems

    I had a 6 year old child that had a head trauma. Thanks to this program this child now has only mild head deformities and could finally speak again. Because of this head trauma the child would barely speak with other children. The mom almost cried of joy when she found out about her child speaking again freely.

    Yes I would recommend that program. For me I finally got a full evaluation system on how to address any cranial issue and have an adjusting flow for newborn and children.

    Dr. Martin Rosen can answer any question and help you with difficult cases.

    Thank you for your work!!! Because of you I can be one of the few people in Berlin who can address all these complex problems.”

    This is a very in-depth course that requires diligence and passion to persevere. You will gain such fantastic knowledge that you can immediately use in your paediatric practice. Doing this course will provide you with an exceptional number of different adjustments and treatment protocols that will most certainly set you apart from others.

    Personally, it has been tough to get back into study mode, whilst working and managing everyday mom duties, but it has pushed me to show me I am capable and has improved my skills as a Chiropractor greatly – from revised anatomy, better history takings, visual analysis and helping me trust in my hands more. Professionally I have felt I can be more assertive and give realistic goals and outcomes to patients/parents. I truly feel like more of an expert particularly around cranial distortions and their corrections.

    Currently I have a 1-month-old baby girl that started seeing me at 2 weeks because she was very unsettled. Upon examination I had to break the news that this baby’s head was not ideal – a severe scaphocephaly. Immediately I knew how to explain to the parents what this was, what we look out for, how we assess it and treat it. Obviously a possible craniosynostosis is in the forefront of my mind, but we/I have been able to approach this case with logic and goals in mind. So far on visual analysis I can see she is stuck in an extension strain pattern with more marked internal rotation of the right frontal and right temporal bones. There is no sagittal ridging, and her anterior fontanelle is still very much open and palpable. We have done an ultrasound to monitor the sutures and fontanelle for premature closure, and I have been applying my cranial (and pelvic) adjustments. We have already seen some improvement with good growth of her skull, evening out of her nasolabial folds and an overall more settled baby. I feel confident in being able to help this baby but also confident to know when maybe my treatment is not enough.

    I would highly recommend this course if treating paeds and kids is a passion of yours, and you want to be the person of excellence in your area. I feel like this course has given me the skills and confidence to be that Chiropractor!

    Thank you to both of you for always showing up, being so open and friendly, always answering questions etc. and I truly can’t wait to refine all of this in January with the practical.

    My three take aways…. This work is much more powerful than I originally thought. For starters, just having a new lens to look through changed my eval and adjusting right away, before even applying any of the SOT techniques. My awareness allowed me to see subtle differences I had not necessarily been aware of; for example, differences in facial structure or even just watching children in my waiting area and how they moved and interacted. I noticed these subtle indicators in adults as well as when they enter the office or walk to the bathroom. I think some folks caught me evaluating their facial structure before a cervical adjustment because I paused longer than usual. Second take away… I need to continue my study of SOT, learning more about the basics and application in the adult population. This is powerful work, and more people need it than I realized. I must deepen my understanding so I may share this work with my entire community. Third… Drs. Rosen and Watson are true experts in the field; wow do I have a lot to learn! Taking this program helped to realize that expecting that I master SOT for the pediatric population by the end of the course is ridiculous. I can be hard on myself for not picking up very detail and learning exactly how to apply them in my day-to-day practice. I promised myself to take it slow and to not get frustrated. In the past I have found it nearly impossible to learn and integrate a new technique during my day-to-day at the office, introducing new techniques can be time consuming and slow the flow and as a solo practitioner with no staff it has been historically challenging. I have yet to be successful at fully integrating a new technique…this time I have promised myself to take it slow and make it happen over time. Principle 6- There is no process that does not require time.

    Being patient with myself and allowing the time I need to truly learn and integrate the information. Learning is a process not an event (just like healing). Taking the course has also allowed me to embrace the fact that after almost 17 years of diversified adjusting my longevity requires I have a tool bag of lighter touch techniques that have the desired effect (maybe even more so than diversified adjusting).

    A mom who comes regularly with her three children recently reported to me that her 7-year-old son has been complaining of headaches. Headaches so severe that he wasn’t sleeping well and she had to give him an OTC pain reliever to help. I have been adjusting this little guy at least monthly for a couple of years, and this was something new for him. I evaluated the sphenoid and frontal bones as well as the temporomandibular joints, found restriction and tenderness at both the sphenoid and temporal mandibular. After working on these areas as well as applying adjustments in the cervical spine, Vinny and mom reported a reduced incidence and severity of headaches after just one visit integrating SOT techniques. Over the course of the next few weeks, we continued to work in the same fashion and continued to see improvement with a near complete resolution after approximately a month. Vinny has also gotten glasses in the past weeks and with continued chiropractic care he has remained essentially headache free now for the last 2.5 months.

    Most certainly I would recommend this course to others! The amount of information presented is a bit overwhelming, I applaud you for the way you have organized and structured the program. Allowing downloads of the transcripts, PowerPoints and Call to Action assignments have made returning to the information accessible and manageable. I’ve also appreciated the Q & A sessions, unfortunately I have not been able to log in live due to conflicts with my office hours, but the replays have been very helpful.

    Thank you for combining your wealth of knowledge into a five-star course that has, and will continue to, help me better serve all the members of my community, but particularly the very special little ones.

    “I wanted to become better at adjusting cranials. And I wanted to feel confident about it. Plus I wanted to be able to pause Marty when he talks, just so I can digest it.

    My takeaways are: 1. It is intense but digestible 2. Marty and Nancy are the most dedicated instructors I have ever met 3. The quality of the content is great!

    This program has brought so much clarity to what I do and why I do it.

    I’ve got the participants book specifically with me because that thing I did last time cleared their sinuses, or their ears, or their tinnitus and they want me to do it again… I’d say the techniques that I use the most are sphenobasilar, fruit jar and TMJ/temporal and that’s why they book with me.

    Yes, I would absolutely recommend this course. Because every child should have the opportunity to thrive, and this knowledge will help every pediatric chiropractor help the children even further

    The quality of the content, the care from the instructors, is beyond any course or class I have ever taken in my entire chiropractic career. I regret not keeping up with the material to be able to ask more questions live. I recommend you really take advantage of this program and the pearls of wisdom Marty and Nancy provide.

    In a way, being so behind with CTA’s made me go through the videos at least one more time. I actually enjoyed going through it all in a short period of time. I also appreciated the repetition on certain topics and techniques; it reinforced what I was learning. I wish I could have the Q& A videos for a bit longer. I’m sad this has ended.”

    “This program filled in some empty spots in my cranial treatment and cleared up some questions on visual diagnostics, especially with the occiput. Cleared up some semantics from past SOT training (occipital sideslip/compression). Finally, I got a pedi brochure and exams formally completed. Required me to focus on improving and fine tuning my pedi cranial.

    So many…. Most recently, my grandbaby had to be taken 3 weeks early by C section (such a violent procedure!) due to a complete placenta previa, so there was no other safe way out that we knew of. We had tried homeopathy, but it was too little too late. Anyway, the little peanut was falling asleep nursing, tearing up Momma’s nipples, and frantic while trying to latch. She had the classic Occipital Extension Presentation, low right frontal, intermaxillary ridging and wide open fontanelles – all of them; wide open all the way down the sagittal suture, too! While she was (painfully) nursing, I would shorten the Falx and widen the Tent, also working the jaw muscles and CRI. Her latch and sucking improved and all nursing pain would stop as long as I was actively doing this cranial, but would return later that day. After nursing I would work on the oral sutures. After 2 daily visits, 80-90% nursing issues were resolved. Baby opened wider to get a better latch, was no longer gnawing the nipple and did not exhaust so quickly while nursing. Just one of many, many.

    I would recommend this program. This is so much more beneficial than those weekend pedi classes that give so little useful info. In infants, the cranium and dural meningeal system is 90%.

    Prior SOT training would be helpful. Thank you for improving the quality of pedi care in our profession. No one should be treating peds without this training. Lots of love to y’all!!”
