These classes are for Doctors and Students of Chiropractic interested in the care of newborns, infants and toddlers. Principles are applied to all ages.

Classes are taught in Montrose and Ouray, Colorado. Certification in the Cranial Methods is accomplished upon the completion of all 4 classes. Classes run from 9am to 6pm every day with the last night and day being held at Weisbaden Spa in Ouray Colorado.

NOTE: All classes apply the principles learned to newborns, infants and toddlers.

Week 1

This is an introduction to the CranialMethods including a brief history, anatomy review, and discussion of related principles.

Participants learn the following:

  • To become still and centered to allow fullest awareness and perception of available information in the body and field of the patient.
  • How to come into relationship with this field of the body, to best facilitate healing. This is individualized to each client and session.
  • Palpation of various rhythms.
  • Discussion of cranial bones’ range of motion.

The class is taught with Cranial and Sacral emphasis.

Week 2

This is a continuation of Week 1. It begins with further review of anatomy including the membranous and nervous systems. We now integrate the whole body from the feet up: lower extremities, hips and pelvis, spine, rib cage, shoulder girdles, upper extremities, neck and head. The emphasis in Level 2 is on common whole-body distortional patterns, their release and integration.

Week 3

This class is a continuation of Week 2. The emphasis in this class is on anatomy and treatment of the anterior neck, face and mouth. Common distortional patterns will be discussed and treated.

Week 4

This class integrates more fully everything learned in the first 3 weeks, and the practice experiences the student has had in their own practice, in the care of newborns, infants, and toddlers.

It includes:

  • A special review of anatomy with emphasis on cranial nerves
  • The importance of treatment to neurological growth and development
  • The most common distortional patterns in newborns
  • Presenting signs and symptoms

We will schedule live baby treatment times for the hands-on section of the class.
