"I took Dr. Rubin's class on polyvagal chiropractic care with Dr. Porges, and it was great. In that class Dr. Rubin sent out the polyvagal profile. I have been using it with every peds exam since. 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."
