Feedback from Our Students

    “I took this program because I have taken a course by Dr Rosen in the past through the ICPA and wanted to continue my learning journey through this series.

    There is so much applicable information in this series that after each seminar you can immediately implement information gained from this series. With that being said, make sure to come up with an action plan to actually implement protocols into your practice. If not it is easy to become so overwhelmed that you don’t actually implement it into your practice. If you truly wish to be the best version of yourself and want to serve the pediatric community in your area it is vital to get into this series ASAP.

    It has taught me so much more where I know I am a better pediatric practitioner for our community and my children. I have increased my awareness and ability to properly analyze cranial misalignment patterns and help children with struggles. The knowledge gained in this seminar series is vital in allowing you as a provider to effectively bring pediatric care to your community. They have been great and very helpful with all questions asked from our team.”

  • Dr. Brandi Benson, DC, CACCP

    “This was truly one of my favorite courses thus far in practice.

    I can’t recommend Dr. Rosen’s Certified SOT® Pediatric Practitioner course enough! I work exclusively with pediatric chiropractic patients and this series has absolutely helped me become more specific and confident – even after almost a decade in practice seeing infants and children. Understanding SOT® Cranial adjusting has helped me elevate my examination and adjusting skills, especially with infants and the immense growth and change that takes place in the first few years of life. Drs. Marty and Nancy are an engaging and passionate team that make hands-on learning relatable and easy to implement. Their knowledge is invaluable.

    If you care for infants and children, this seminar series is hands down the best for hands-on training. You will have the tools to bring your practice to the next level so that you can change lives and change the future.”
