I am Webster certified and have been diving deep into SOT for the past year. I was very excited to look at chiropractic care for pregnancy through the lens of SOT.
My three takeaways:
1. The indicators. Not only does it give me certainty, but my patients think I am magic when they reduce after an adjustment!
2. The anatomy and physiology in the beginning portion has given me more certainty with my patient communication.
3. I loved the case management portion.This program has given me certainty in my care and communication for prenatal patients. The seated blocking protocols are fantastic! It gave me a new tool to work with difficult patients. If you are looking for certainty with your care planning, communication and adjusting protocols for prenatal patients, this course is a must take! You guys are great! I am excited to keep studying with you!

My three takeaways from this course are: 1. Understanding the changes in the anatomy of pregnant women is very important because the more we know about the process of a growing baby, the more we can do to ensure the baby and mother are healthy throughout the three stages of gestation. 2. Other than the Webster technique, performing SOT on a pregnant woman is also a very gentle technique that can help with various conditions. 3. I like that we get to learn specific techniques that will help with some of the most common challenges the pregnant population faces throughout their pregnancy.
After taking this course, I feel like I’m more professionally and personally capable as a chiropractor and female to provide a more natural, easy, and less stressful adjusting technique to the pregnant population as well as provide other nutritional and supplemental recommendations to help ease their pregnancy journey.
I’ve been having more of my pregnant mothers use a Serola SI joint belt to help with stabilizing their hyper-mobility as indicated by the recommendations given to us in the seminar and the results have been amazing.
It continues to amaze me how much knowledge and information Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson present to you in their online seminars. I am so thankful that I have the chance to learn from them and become a better chiropractor!
