“WE BELIEVE THAT FOR EVERY NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE THAT HAS AN IMMUNE COMPONENT TO IT, THESE VESSELS MAY PLAY A MAJOR ROLE.” 

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is contained within the ventricles of the brain and the subarachnoid spaces of the cranium and spine.

It performs vital functions, including providing nourishment, waste removal, and protection to the brain.

The constant secretion of CSF contributes to complete CSF renewal four to five times per 24-hour period in the average young adult. 

The reduction of CSF turnover contributes to the accumulation of toxins, metabolites neurodevelopmental, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases.

CSF assists the brain by providing protection, nourishment, and waste removal. 

  • It provides protection of the neuroaxis through two mechanisms.
    • As a shock absorber, cushioning the brain against the skull. 
    • CSF allows the brain and spinal cord to become buoyant, reducing the effective weight of the brain from its normal 1,500 grams to a much lesser 50 grams. 
    • The reduction in weight lessens the force applied to the brain parenchyma and cerebral vessels during mechanical injury. 
  • Another function of CSF is to maintain homeostasis of the interstitial fluid of the brain.
  • Temperature control (cranial anti-freeze)
    • Increased temperature leads to a tendency for seizure activity
    • Increase CSF can cool areas of the brain
  • Waste removal
  • Nutrition
  • Cranial bone motion and dural tension
  • Ventricular Pressure Gradients
  • Protective barrier
    • Chemical buffer
    • Physical buffer

The manifestations of vestibular damage are especially important in the evaluation of brainstem dysfunction injury. The circuitry of the vestibular system extends to a large part of the brainstem, and simple clinical tests of vestibular function can be formed to determine brainstem involvement. Knowing before the situation or condition escalates is paramount to achieving a more efficient, less stressful (both to the child and family) resolution.

“We may regard the CSF as the equivalent of a lymphatic system, carrying away from the cranial and spinal systems substances that would not be able to leave at significant rates otherwise.”

Improper CSF flow may have downstream effects on the developing brain; it could play a role in the emergence of autism symptoms and neurodevelopmental issues. 

In this online course you will learn the importance of CSF in one’s overall health, how to evaluate CSF imbalances and techniques to balance, increase and move CSF through the dura meningeal system.

Classes include:

  1. CSF and Its Effects on the Central Nervous System
  2. CSF and Primary and Secondary Motion
  3. Facial Planes, Muscles, and Ligaments
  4. Key Continuities of the Dural meningeal System
  5. Cranial Dural Mechanics

 

Cranial Techniques to Balance CSF Mechanics

 

  1. Cranial Rhythm Impulse Technique and CSF Balancing Technique
  2. CSF Regulation Technique
  3. Occipital Pump and Spread and Temporal Bone Balancing
  4. Ventricular Bulb Technique

 

We will guide you through interactive modules, presentations, case studies, and practical demonstrations to enhance your learning experience. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills through hands-on exercises and calls to action (CTA), allowing you to apply your knowledge and gain confidence in your abilities

By the end of this course, you will more tools in your toolbox to help more patients with CNS issues related to CSF flow and distribution.

Join us on this exciting learning journey and take a significant step towards enhancing your professional practice!

You will receive 9 modules over a 9-week period.

 "It’s All in the Head is a must have book for not only chiropractors, but also for parents and anyone working with children. It is exciting to know that now there is a course for everyone to engage with 2 of the leading pediatric chiropractors who wrote the book. This class offers an opportunity to delve into the world of human potential from a salutogenic viewpoint. The information is insightful and gives clear meaning to what is common versus what is normal in your child’s development. You will gain a better understanding of your child’s developmental processes. It answers many questions including why and how cranial distortions affect not only structure but neurological function as well."

"I’ll never forget that moment when I had the feeling that something was “off” with one of my children. I wasn’t able to put my finger on exactly what it was, but I could see it in his face, the way he crawled and some of his behavior. And yet, when I went to compare it to the CDC guidelines and asked my pediatrician about it, I was told that it is “normal and they will grow out of it.” But that gut feeling still remained and I could still see my child struggle. Then I read, “It’s All in the Head,” by Drs. Watson and Rosen. This totally changed my perspective for all three of my children. I am so excited that they have developed this online course to empower me, as a parent, to understand what is normal childhood development and what is not, when and how to seek professional help, and what I can be doing at home to help my children stay on track for good health and development. This course is a MUST for any parent who wants to help their children thrive as they grow!"

"As a parent, a Monteessori teacher and a recent postpartum care provider, I have spent the past thirty years observing infants and children.   We know more now than ever before about child development and information is readily available to parents and caregivers alike.   
 
We wait for milestones to be met; doing everything we can to help our children get there.   Still we find ourselves with newborns that can't latch, babies with reflux, toddlers with chronic ear infections, preschoolers who fall a lot and elementary aged children with unexplained respiratory issues.   We lovingly study our babies and we know we are seeing that something is off, but we can't quite put our finger on it.   The list of childhood concerns is endless and as it grows, parents and caregivers look for help from outside expert sources.   These resources are a gift, but they often take us farther away from the root of our children's struggles.   That being their own physical bodies.
 
The human body is the foundation block for all social, emotikonal, physical and cognitive development.   If this foundation has a crack, it can impact the trajectory of a child's growth.   In the hands of a pediatric chiropractor, infants and children are evaluated and adjusted for the slightest subluxations that may hinder a child's optimal development.  The birth process itself can be a lot for a little person to endure no matter how natural or peaceful.
 
As newborns, my three children we all seen by a chiropractor before their one week pediatric MD visit, continuing throughout their childhood and teenage years.   I am a mediocre mother at best, yet my children never had an ear infection, strep or respiratory concerns.   Two of them suffered serious concussions playing sports that were managed with chiropractic care.   Allergies were treated, unmedicated fevers came down, significant vision issues were reduced.    My children are not different from most; they rode bikes, went to school and got sick.   Our first choice was always chiropractic for preventive, restorative and trauma care when it came to our children's health.   It's a practice that is built on observation, knowledgeable evaluation, and gentle correction, as it supports the body's innate desire to heal itself.
 
I wss recently introduced to the book "It's All in the Head'' by Drs Martin Rosen and Nancy Watson, two parents and pediatric chiropractors with over 80 years of combined clinical and teaching experience.    I have to say this book is a must for any parent, or healthcare professional that works with children.  While I was exposed to the benefits of pediatric chiropractic care when my children were still infants, many others are not.   This book answers so many questions, gives a window into the normal guidelines of pediatric development and gives the reader a better understanding of the infant's growth and development as well as helping to recognize aberrant neurological patterns before they become actual diagnosed disease processes or worse, they become set in the child's developmental, learning and social behavior patterns.
 
Now there is a course, based on this book, for anyone who works with or has children.    This will be a great support, as well as offer guideposts, to address some of the early childhood issues that many parents and healthcare professionals face.   I highly recommend learning and sharing this information."

"When my son was younger than 2, I started to notice some things that were off with him. Speaking to the professionals around me, I was repeatedly assured that all was well, not to worry. Again and again. 
When he finally received an autism diagnosis, I was oddly reassured that what I had been seeing was, in fact, valid and now we could get to work. It seemed all that work focused more around addressing symptoms and rote training than working towards the cause and it drove me crazy. Between the social pressure not to "be that parent" and a lack of finding resources, I found it difficult to find support for my son that made sense to me.
 
Reading Dr. Rosen's "It's All In The Head", I had so many AHA moments. Then I looked back at the pictures of him as a small child and spotted the distortions in his skull and body that the book shows and explains. 
 
I do not hesitate to keep copies of this book around for friends, trying to give them a resource I did not have. it helps support my friends when professionals don't see or agree with observations my friends are making about their own children. Amazing stuff, this book. I wish it had been around when my son was younger.
 
Thank you, Drs. Rosen and Watson"

"My son was born after a precipitous labor. He had severe lip and tongue ties. We were referred by a hospital lactation specialist to have a laser revision done. Although he was able to nurse, it took him ages to empty the breast, leading to mastitis. His eczema led us to use scratch leaves, not wanting to put chemicals on his cradle cap. Without us knowing, under the watch of his pediatrician, he was failing to meet milestones like sitting up on his own and did not have a strong cross crawl before he learned to walk for a year. His symptoms (including sleep) worsened, and at age two, we noticed his speech was not continuing to grow at the rate at which it did during the first year.
 
He was three years and eight months old, and had been in occupational therapy for a year when he was first seen by Dr. Rosen, who explained the differences between normal and common development for us. After an intensive summer program seeing Dr. Rosen, and making changes to his diet (removing gluten and pasteurized dairy fortified with Vitamins D and A), most of his retained primitive reflexes were integrated.
 
At age seven, our son has been discharged from occupational and speech therapies. He enjoys horseback riding, swimming, and playing with his friends at his Waldorf school. It has been a long journey to course correct what could have been recognized and treated by a skilled chiropractor after birth. From protecting against over revision of tongue tie, to evaluating for reflux, from which which my younger son suffered—and ended up with a flat head from sleeping upright as well as behavior symptoms from a sphenoid imbalance— Dr. Rosen’s course will help the lay person to recognize the cranial distortions and subsequent patterns which develop. I encourage you to take the time to devote yourself to this course as the materials. I promise you will save those you love and care for, much time, energy, and effort in course correcting down the road. I wish it had been available to me for the birth of my children."
