1. It is Important to make a good examination to find out if we are meeting an ascending or descending sacro occipital pattern. 2. Cranial bones have a specific motion that we can feel and differentiate during inhalation and exhalation. It is interesting to realize how we can improve our touch by practicing. 3. We can use different cranial techniques and touch to correct cranial bone movement. This can have a positive effect on the brain and neurological development of children.

It gave me new tools and helped me to be more self-confident facing clinical situations.

I had a 15 months patient. She had spent 3 days at hospital for pneumonia and otitis. She came to my office with a very acute condition. I work on temporal fibers, sphenobasilar, first rib, temporal. The day after, the mother called at the office to tell that her daughter feels much better.

I already recommended it to my colleague in Quebec. The classes are well organized, I learned new techniques. This class brings us a step forward.

Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you at the Dr. Sharing even if I couldn’t be there live all the time. In a way.

You really learn to assess and treat the cranium as a whole, learning about how all the pieces interact. There are so many techniques to learn in this incredible course. It takes a lot of repetition and practice for these techniques to become second nature.

I feel so much more confident treating infants now that I have more treatment tools. I don’t have any amazing stories to share yet, but I feel that overall, my care is more comprehensive.

Yes, I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a deep dive into pediatric chiropractic adjusting.

The program was far more than I had anticipated, covering each aspect in depth. The Doctors “hold your hand” through the content and ensure that you are on track. They also “connect the dots” they we already know but perhaps have connected ourselves.

This program has affected me massively professionally; I’m not yet seeing a big paediatric patient base but have been practicing on my adult patients. The results have been amazing! Even surprising myself and having me double check with colleagues doing the program that I’m not imagining results. Personally, it’s been a wild year for myself and my family, we are still processing everything so not entirely sure the magnitude of the impact.

I was treating a 73-year-old female from recurrent dizziness and headaches; I used techniques learned and with 2 sessions the dizziness had stopped and by 3 the headaches. She referred her 5-year-old grandson for difficulty breathing. On history mom reported nothing of significance, incidentally, mentioning a big fall at age 1 where he had hit his maxilla on a step. He was there for sleep apnea. (Felt like I was treating in the dark), after the first session mom reported he slept well, still snoring and still sleep apnea (I wasn’t holding my breath to fix that), after the second session mom reported zero nights of sleep apnea, a more energetic child and more restful sleep. Increased concentration at school as well. (I couldn’t believe it either, check with colleagues, they said to keep going until he was stable and holding) it’s been 2 months free of sleep apnea for the little and counting.

Yes, absolutely would recommend this program!! After having done the full program I’m of the opinion that every chiropractor needs this set of tools in their box! It makes treatment more whole and complete.

Your work, dedication and passion for SOT is infectious and tangible. So thankful that they took the leap and opened to South Africa and online options. Forever grateful- thank you!

My three takeaways:
1. The importance of the dural meningeal system in the growth and development of infants
2. How important the sphenobasilar system is in working with cranial adjusting
3. How to confidently determine a dural meningeal subluxation from a structural subluxation, and how to use that especially in more complicated cases

I have gained a significant amount of additional confidence and certainty in my cranial evaluations and adjustments. I chose to take this course for the cranial piece and learned so much more about the whole craniosacral system. CST is a huge buzzword in our community and being able to share with my referral sources and community that I have invested this time in the program to advance my skill and knowledge has also been so rewarding.

Being a DC that works with a lot of newborns with latching and breastfeeding issues, I have used a lot of palate and sphenobasilar techniques taught in class to help improve latch and breastfeeding outcomes. I use the sphenobasilar motion techniques everyday on every baby that comes into my office, and I see the improvements in their latch as well as cranial shape.

Yes, I would recommend this program. I don’t practice SOT, but so many of the evaluation and adjustment techniques fit well within my daily practice. I would share with anyone interested that they don’t have to practice SOT to benefit from this course.”

My takeaways: The body is always communicating – our role is not to force change but to listen and respond Our Why as Chiropractors – development in the first 2 years Learn to slow down, trust what you feel.

Professionally it has deepened my understanding of the nervous system and refined my “listening”, my palpation is more thoughtful, my assessments connected and a new perspective on my treatments. Personally to slow down and connect and truly listen.

My favourite skill is visual analysis – I use it on all my little ones. fruit jars.

Absolutely – if you want clarity on cranial techniques this is the course for you.

Thank you for all your time and dedication to paediatric chiropractic.
