Occipital Fiber Analysis & Soft Tissue Reflex Techniques (CMRT)
Occipital Fiber Analysis & Soft Tissue Reflex Techniques: Master the Art of Precision in Chiropractic Analysis and Correction
The ability to pinpoint the primary source of subluxation patterns is what separates a good chiropractor from a truly exceptional one. With Occipital Fiber Analysis and Soft Tissue Reflex Techniques, you gain access to a powerful indicator system that guides your clinical decisions with unmatched specificity.
This in-depth online course teaches you how to use occipital fibers as neurological indicators to identify stress patterns, organ involvement, and vertebral subluxations—and how to apply soft tissue reflex corrections to release stored tension, enhance spinal stability, and support long-term healing.
These techniques offer a unique lens through which to assess and care for the whole body—making your adjusting more effective, efficient, and neurologically driven.
What You’ll Learn
- How to read and interpret occipital fiber patterns to locate primary subluxations and organ stress
- The neurological basis of soft tissue reflex techniques and their clinical applications
- Step-by-step protocols to evaluate and correct vertebral and visceral patterns
- How to use these tools to complement and enhance SOT® and other chiropractic systems
- Methods to stabilize chronic subluxation patterns and support nervous system regulation.

I have been studying the SOT paradigm for years and have been an eye witness to the benefits of CMRT in real time. I decided to take this course to gain the knowledge of how and when to apply the specific CMRT protocols in chiropractic practice. In my opinion, these techniques allow you to shift the stigma of chiropractic to be recognized as a primary care physician, which is how I wish to serve patients in my practice.
After taking this course, you could guarantee receiving: 1. Specific clinical applications. 2. A detailed checklist to guide you through specific protocols. 3. An understanding of neurological impact and change.
This course has given me further confidence as a primary care chiropractor and allowed me to provide clarity and potential for family members, friends and other practice members who have too often found an end path with certain health conditions and dysfunctions. With the knowledge I have gained I will strive to continue to shift the common misconception that chiropractic only caters solely to musculoskeletal conditions.
I have mainly utilized these techniques in identifying certain underlying problems that have negatively impacted expectations of patient progress. For example, a patient hadn’t been responding to care and after analyzing her occipital fibers and certain reflex points it led me to order further imaging to eventually find an issue with her IUD was perpetuating her issues.
Thank you Dr. Watson and Dr. Rosen for dedicating their lives to this incredible medical knowledge and art we know as chiropractic. I’m looking forward to continuing to study with them for as long as they continue to provide the knowledge they share!

I chose to take this course as I am always interested in learning about the many intricate connections are body has in unexpected ways. I have increasingly seen more patients with ongoing visceral complaints and want to be able to help them in the best way possible, and in a way that no other health care provider can do.
The ability to go back through and re-play the content is so important when such a short video contains an entire protocol. Also having slides available for printing allows for review later on and a quick double check as needed in clinic.
These protocols are applicable day 1 after learning the content. As I am slowly getting more experience assessing occipital fibers, I am able to ask patients if they have any coordinating symptoms to the CMRT content. So many patients are initially surprised that chiropractic care may help their digestive complaints, respiratory complaints, etc.
SOT is an intricate and complex technique to learn and master, but each piece I learn furthers my understanding that the nervous system has so many ways of telling us what it needs and where the problem lies, as long as you know how to ask it. My mind is still blown with the story that was shared during the Live Q&A about Dr. Rosen noticing that a patient may have had cancer return/other pathological changes due to her changing and non-responsive occipital fiber.
These courses continue to motivate me to study and work towards mastery of content, especially when we are serving an entirely sick and unwell community. The people in my community are, sadly, not hearing about the impact chiropractic care has on the nervous system from other providers, and information in this course and other SOT courses I have taken so far help me to be certain in my communication with my patients.I have been using the T3 respiratory syndrome protocols, especially all of the sinus releases, on at least 10 people per day, due to everyone coming in with congestion, post-sinus infections, post-COVID. Every single time the patients leave the office reporting drainage and immediate opening of their airways.
I have also been using the T3 protocols on a patient who had a severe bronchitis post-COVID and lost her voice along with other symptoms due to being ill. She lost her voice for several weeks and was unable to talk (she is a professor at a local university and was unable to teach) and continued to complain of difficulty breathing to her medical doctors. She has gone through several antibiotics and steroids without any resolution to her symptoms. I applied the stylohyoid muscle fixation protocol and within 48 hours her voice had mostly returned. I also have been continuing to manipulate the bronchitis point on her chest and pairing it with costal arch manipulation and post-ganglionic manipulation. Her O2 stats have been slowly increasing over the past few weeks and she is subjectively reporting ability to breathe more deeply, despite not taking any other medications at this time for this condition.
The videos are made with great quality and easily understood. This is content that every chiropractor needs to know to assist their patients in the best way possible.

A course designed for parents, caregivers, chiropractors, and healthcare professionals.
Every child deserves the best start possible. But subtle cranial and facial distortions — often dismissed as “common” — can disrupt key developmental milestones during the most critical years of brain growth. This course helps you recognize those early red flags. Led by Drs. Marty Rosen and Nancy Watson, with parent-child coach Ashley Dalidowitz, you’ll learn how these structural imbalances affect neurological function and what you can do to support optimal development from the start. Whether you’re a parent seeking answers or a professional supporting pediatric families, this course offers the insight, tools, and clarity you need to support your child’s optimal functional development.
Can a Chiropractic Adjustment Be Both Gentle and Highly Specific? Chiropractic low-intensity spinal adjusting uses precise positioning, specific contacts and neurologically informed reflex responses to support gentle correction without forcing motion. Through precise positioning and the facilitation of the body’s proprioceptive and nociceptive reflexes, it helps restore structural balance by encouraging the body to return to its optimal state of ease.
In this online program, Dr. Martin Rosen teaches chiropractors how to evaluate and address cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic dysfunction/subluxation using low-intensity procedures. Participants learn neurological indicators, contact points, positioning principles, adjusting sequences and re-evaluation procedures they can use with specificity and confidence, especially when high-velocity adjusting may not be appropriate or preferred.
Taught by Dr. Ken Cooper, Lead Instructor – Peak Potential InstituteFor chiropractors and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in the understanding of cranial bone motion and dynamics.
This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
You’ll learn:
- The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
- We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
- How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
- Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
- The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
