Feedback from Our Students

Rachel Fogarty, DC
“My takeaways from this program are:
1. Incredible amount of hands-on practice.
2. Learning from the greats of our profession.
3. Tools and techniques to add to your practice that can help you with some of your difficult cases.Each time I attended a seminar my passion for taking care of people, children especially, was fueled. Professionally, I have added so many tools to my toolbox, particularly with the cranial work that I’ve learned.
I have a 45 year old patient with a VP shunt. The cranial work, particularly the ventricular bulb technique gives her so much relief from her overwhelming headaches/migraines that she experiences multiple times per week. She states it has been incredible for her quality of life.
I would absolutely recommend this program. It’s a chance to learn from a true master, and those chances do not come along very often.
Thank you so much for everything. I hope to continue to study with you as long as you’re teaching!!!”

“If you see kids, (or don’t see kids yet), been in pediatrics for 3 months or 30 years, taking Dr Martin Rosen’s in-person seminars or seminar series is a no-brainer. The technical proficiency, clinical excellence and conviction to check, adjust and recheck kiddos is unlike anything we have in the profession today. If you’re on the fence, just jump in. The future of our children depends on it.”
More Courses from Peak Potential Institute
Taught by Dr. Ken Cooper, Lead Instructor – Peak Potential InstituteFor chiropractors and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in the understanding of cranial bone motion and dynamics.
This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
You’ll learn:
- The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
- We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
- How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
- Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
- The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
Understand CSF physiology and into the critical role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the central nervous system. Learn chiropractic cranial adjusting techniques to improve CSF flow and neurological regulation.
This online course provides an in-depth exploration of the sphenobasilar mechanism (the key to the cranium), focusing on its anatomy, physiology, common distortion patterns, and effective correction techniques. Participants will gain practical skills to evaluate and adjust the sphenobasilar junction, enhancing patient outcomes and expanding their chiropractic expertise.
