    The program was very comprehensive and interesting take on adjusting

    I took this course specifically to address my patients with vagus nerve impairment which is the most vital and important thing to me as I am my practice.

    I would recommend this course because it has specificities to diagnosis correct and check also love low force.

    This program is full of information which I still need to digest, and I do love the cranial adjusting.

    I loved learning about the vagus nerve points in the abdomen. I love how you discussed the atlas involvement as separate sides as it hasn’t fused and I loved watching it done on a child, older child and adult.

    I perform vagus adjustments on most patients now and always check for tender points in the hands etc. I am much more conscious about vagal involvement and feel this course bridged a huge gap in my skill set so thank you!

    I would recommend this course. It is straight forward, easy to digest videos and short videos, which for a mum is essential!

    Have done several courses now and always find them amazing so thank you!

    I really enjoyed learning more in depth about occipital side slip and compression. I felt confused in this area during other classes and this really broke it down even more and explained it better. I really enjoyed doing the cranial specific Vagus release inner oral technique and have already seen a difference in a few patients with gut issues. Also learning about the anterior atlas and how to test for it was very eye-opening and it makes so much sense now once it was explained.

    I feel like taking these courses has only added to my bag of tricks so to say to help with those cases that are maybe normally ones that I would send out. I feel I am getting stronger in these areas.

    Last week I was working on an adult patient and worked the occipital compression technique and they had immediate relief when they got up from the table and were amazed. I had one pediatric patient that was still having torticollis issues and I started implementing the anterior atlas and hopefully we will see a change in symptoms soon.

    I always recommend your courses because they are so in-depth and it gives you so much information that you can take and start implementing into your practice. I have already been sharing information about the anterior Atlas with the other doctor in my office.

    Thank you so much for another great program.

    The program offered a comprehensive approach to the subject. The academic content was rounded out by the clinical applications discussed in the doctors sharing sessions. Your responsiveness to questions and/or concerns is very timely and appreciated.

    I have another protocol and tool to use, especially for the chronic, diffusely symptomatic presenting patients. One of the most significant things learned was to consider the path of the vagus nerve and clear all the positive findings along the path and to recheck the indicators as confirmation in addition to the patient’s subject response. A patient with chronic burping was evaluated using the protocol and after the occipital compression, atlas anteriority, first rib, and psoas release there was an immediate cessation of burping and general ease in her abdomen.

    Your passion and commitment to teaching what you obviously feel so positively about is inspiring. Thankfully the recordings made it easy to repeat sections if in your excitement you spoke too quickly! Both of you made me more curious to continue learning SOT techniques. Thank You!

    I took this course because I see in practice that many people are struggling with the effects of stress and anxiety. I have also recently become interested in the ‘Polyvagal Theory’ and I wanted to learn some practical techniques to affect vagal nerve function from the bottom up (i.e. through bodywork rather than talking/psychological approaches).

    The practical approach to assessing and correcting problems with the vagus nerve is very clear and well-explained. Having a clear idea of how to assess the three main areas where the vagus nerve can be affected, as well as the supporting CMRT and cranial procedures are very helpful in practice. The succinct presentation and drip-feeding of the content is an effective way to learn. The impact of the course has mostly been in my professional life giving me a clearer idea of how to effectively reduce irritation to the vagus nerve.

    I saw a lady in practice this week that had had a very difficult 1st trimester of pregnancy requiring hospital treatment several times for hyperemesis. While this had settled she was still experiencing low energy, some nausea and ‘not feeling herself’. Having applied the techniques, her demeanour had completely changed, even her skin colour had improved and she commented “That is so much better, I feel like me again”. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
