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.

Resources Provided

  • Video class modules
  • Evaluation & technique presentations
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Calls to action (CTAs)
  • Complete PDF workbooks
  • Full transcriptions of video classes
  • Email access to Dr. Rosen & Dr. Watson

Why Take This Course?

  • Occipital fibers reveal deep-seated patterns that traditional evaluations may miss
  • Soft tissue reflex techniques allow you to address visceral and structural imbalances non-invasively
  • These tools help you tailor care to each patient’s unique presentation, improving outcomes and retention

Who Is This Course For?

Chiropractors who want to:

  • Sharpen their diagnostic skills with a reliable indicator system
  • Address organ and system imbalances without forceful manipulation
  • Expand their toolbox with neurologically-based, low-force correction techniques
  • Deliver deeper, more lasting results across all patient populations

Whether you’re seeking more clarity in your analysis or more precision in your adjusting, this course will elevate your practice to the next level. It’s time to take the guesswork out of chiropractic care—and replace it with certainty, specificity, and results.

Meet the Instructors

Dr. Martin Rosen, DC, CSCP, CSPP & Dr. Nancy Watson, DC, CSP

As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

Feedback From Our Students

  • Kristen Kerr, DC

    My three takeaways are:
    Patients not responding to adjustments: This is a way to look deeper. Take the time to find family/friends to practice on. The concept is not hard. The positive outcome is amazing

    My best friend is fighting for her life. I was able to gently work with her and her shoulder pain went completely away.

    I have a clinic full of amazing ladies who have been through a lot in life. I was spending a lot of time trying to get them to stabilize. With CMRT, I was able to gain stability and decrease pain.

    Heck YES! I would recommend this course!! This brings in an easier way to determine organ involvement and give us the tools to aid in their improvement.

    Thank you for being there. Even when my life threw me a curve ball, you showed up and were there. Hugs!

    Over the past four years I have taken many of Dr. Rosen’s Pediatric programs. When the first CMRT was offered, I immediately signed up! Even after forty one years of practice I am always looking for new tools to insert into my protocols. CMRT gives you a different and insightful way when addressing subluxations of the spine and their somatic relationships. The additional tools of CMRT have given me a greater insight into what is happening within the patient’s body. Just yesterday, I was working with the “rich” Occipital Fibers…specifically line #1 point 1 which brought me to the spinous process if T1, T2, and T10…all sore! I was able to resolve the tenderness as well as the associated organ related issues…so great!!!

    Dr. Rosen makes a seemingly complicated protocol very understandable, applicable, and most importantly effective. All of Dr. Rosen’s teachings protocols will separate you from many other practitioners. When you work and promote from within yourself…enhancing your knowledge and abilities…controlling only what you do with the patient on your adjusting table, you will not have to promote yourself on the outside. Your work will speak for itself. Studying with Dr. Rosen has been a Godsend! It has become difficult to think about retiring…I keep on getting busier and busier…thanks to Dr. Rosen. Thanks Marty…

  • Dr. Chloé Balay

    I needed a technique to stabilize my patients who came back with the same pattern over and over again

    My takeaways are: Listening carefully: the patient’s pain pattern can help identify their possible organ reflex pattern The post Ganglionic correction is necessary to end the protocol and balance out the organ activity The amount of stimulation (pressure) when correcting the occipital fibre and reflex is important for the correction to be done efficiently and for it to hold in time.

    This program helped me to push my limits and dig deeper to find the root of the problem when my treatment didn’t last over time. Maintenance is easier to talk about when all the aspects of a patient’s symptoms have been handled.

    The Adrenal reflex and Respiratory reflex were helpful to use during this period of the year, enabling the patient to keep the benefits of the treatment longer. In addition, the cranial balancing techniques, which can be included easily in every session, usually does settle the patient down and they end up feeling less on edge.

    Thank you for the time you spent teaching us this technique and helping us for the past few months.
