I took Dr. Rubin's class on polyvagal chiropractic care with Dr. Porges, it was great. In that class Dr. Rubin sent out the polyvagal profile. I have been using it with every peds exam since. I thought you would like to know that it has been very helpful overall. I thought you'd enjoy this little case story. I have a little girl in the practice (just turned 3) who had an incredibly traumatic birth, lifelong constipation, altered posture, and significant language delays among other things. Upon coming in her polyvagal profile was 13/20. At her re-exam last week (12 visits) she was at 18/20! This tool is really helpful as it's really hard to objectify things like this with kids, especially those that are more complex cases. Thank you for bringing it to our profession.
