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.

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

  • Dr. Bethany Carilli

    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.

  • Dr. Kate Hoffman

    I decided to take this course after learning some pieces of the technique through the Pediatric and SOT course. I wanted to have an understanding of it as well as add another tool to my practice.

    This program provided a wealth of information as all of your courses have. I do appreciate how it is broken up into small sections that you can review and move on as you are ready to. The doctor shares are always enjoyable. The questions asked are often similar to ones I had myself at some point in the course.

    I have started using these techniques on some select patients as I work on learning the reflex points for each fiber and segment. I am hopeful it will give me some answers in some of my more challenging cases and give me insight into some organ systems that may be showing signs of stress for my patients.

  • Kunnakar Lung-Tor, DC

    This course will help me with patients with more chronic conditions. Also, it completes well with my other techniques that I use in my clinic.

    I found that the CMRT is a good complementary technique that can help me with my adjustment.

    I could use this technique to help all my patients.

    Yes, I would recommend this course because it gives you a strong tool to help patients with chronic conditions or high levels of stress.

    Thank you for this course!
