“My three takeaways from this program are:
1. In depth overview regarding anatomy of the cranium especially the palate.
2. Detailed descriptions of assessment of palate and suture motion/restrictions.
3. Overview of corrections for restrictions of sutures and palate.Very in-depth course on the assessment and corrections of the palate. I treat and assess the palate multiple times a day and will be using these techniques to continue to help my patients.
I treat newborns and infants with tongue ties multiple times a day and have always worked on the palate to help with function and symptoms. I have already started using some of these techniques (specifically the assessment and correction of the sphenobasilar junction) to help with high and narrow palates.
This is a great program. I would love an overview at the end of what an exam/treatment would look like. There were many assessments and corrections discussed but it was unclear how they all fit together within a single exam/visit.”

It was a good review of the intra-oral contacts for palate corrections, I have a better understanding of the grading of severity of ties, and I can now better explain to new parents the connections between tongue-tie and its effect on the rest of the cranium.
I have a better understanding of how to evaluate tongue-tie in my practice.
Recently a 2-month old baby was brought to my office post tongue-tie release, and within two weeks the cranial adjustments had vastly improved the baby’s latch that hadn’t improved much with the laser release.
Yes I would recommend this course because I always learn something from Dr. Marty, even if it is something I have heard many times before

3 takeaways I could share with others: When to wait and see, when to more strongly consider surgery; that there is a lot more merit and potential for successful conservative approach than most people realize; indications of tongue-tie.
I am truly so grateful for this level of information and instruction, and will immediately be purchasing an infant and adult skull to practice. I see so many babies for tongue tie and latch and am looking forward to continuing to better and better support them.
I have been doing a much better job of assessing the palate since beginning, and have been practicing releases. I also did not realize there are 3 different fruit jars, so this has been helpful for assessment as well.
Yes definitely would recommend this course because I haven’t been instructed to this degree of detail in this area anywhere else.
Thank you both SO very much. I want to watch it over and over now and practice and practice.

I loved the structural explanations of the cranial. It really had me visualizing how everything is connected. I was surprised to learn that the narrower or flat the nasal passages the more difficult the drainage is. It makes sense. I always just thought of the palate pushing up. I really liked how we move our heads to breath and how important it is for the cranial to structurally be aligned for that.
I am able to explain to clients how things are connected and how important having the cranial aligned not only for breathing, but also for the CSF to flow in order to help keep up healthy physically and immune wise too. It makes sense that everything goes from the cranial to the tailbone. if that is not open or there is some type of obstruction how it can impact a growing child.
I will be advising clients to see chiropractors more often and not just for breast-feeding challenges.
Yes I would recommend this course. I think more people in my profession could use a class on how everything in the cranium is connected and if one structure is off how it can toss everything off. I do not think the majority of my industry understands the importance of functional and structural alignment and how it affects growth and development for their entire lives.
I think it was great.

“This program has lots of information set out in an easy way to learn.
Professionally it’s given me more tools for my assessment with babies. It will require time to feel confident with my adjusting skills but I’m excited about implementing the information I learned.
I’m assessing more palates than ever before and noticing improvements with latches a bit quicker than before.”
