In-Person SOT® Three Categories Seminar (Charleston, SC – Dec 5-6, 2026)

In this 12-hour, 2-day seminar Drs. Rosen and Watson will guide you through the evaluation, clinical reasoning, and hands-on procedures used to identify and address Category I, Category II, and Category III patterns. The seminar draws from DeJarnette’s category system and emphasizes locating the primary subluxation pattern rather than simply treating the patient’s presenting symptoms.

    “I took this program to learn about treating pediatrics and to have a better understanding of SOT®/cranial techniques.

    This is a very comprehensive program that covers everything from techniques to conditions and using techniques for different conditions. The material learned helps a lot in everyday practice/cases and the notes are also very helpful because you have them to refer back to. You learn how and when to apply/use techniques learned in the course when you come across certain patients. Currently in my first year of practice as an SOT® doctor, this program has helped a lot when treating cases I didn’t know how to start or resolve. This course has helped a lot with treatment of conditions in children (and adult) that I had a hard time figuring out what to do. It’s taught me a lot of useful techniques that I’ve either forgotten and/or need a refresher on.

    Currently I have quite a lot of kids coming from a pediatric dentists that have class II or class III that are severe. They’ve all been able to start coming out of their class II or III and just need a bit of bite fixing because of their growth of the maxilla or mandible.

    There was one kid that was a severe class II and it didn’t matter what the dentist did, either using elastics or expander, he would not go forward in the upper palate and his mandible was also stuck. After working with him for 8 visits, he had almost no anterior head carriage. He finally started expanding forward. Afterwards, because he was 12 years old, they put in an expander in for two weeks to help and he had so much expansion in two weeks that they didn’t need to keep it in any longer. He also stopped tripping over himself in soccer practice and can run without hip pain.”

    “I have a large number of pre/post-natal and pediatric patients and wanted to be able to serve their needs to the best of my capacity. I specifically wanted to learn the cranial adjustments in course 2.

    My takeaway is to plan on taking the course multiple times if you are new to SOT – it’s an enormous amount of information. This program gave me more knowledge and tools for my tool box.”

    I developed a much stronger foundation in SOT analysis and technique. The programme equipped me with practical tools I can immediately use in practice. The mentorship and support throughout the course were invaluable in building my confidence.

    It has expanded my clinical skill set considerably and given me more confidence in managing complex cases. I feel better equipped to assess and treat patients using a more integrative and structured approach. Personally: The program has deepened my passion for chiropractic and reminded me why I love what I do. It has also improved my ability to stay present, grounded, and patient-centered in my daily practice.

    A specific instance where I applied the techniques from the course was in my paediatric practice. Using the visual cranial analysis we were taught, I was able to identify subtle cranial bone restrictions in an infant who was struggling with feeding and general irritability. Although I am still refining and practicing the correction techniques, I have already seen noticeable improvements. After applying gentle cranial work based on what I learned in the program, the baby showed a positive response, improved feeding, better settling, and overall calmer behaviour. This experience reinforced how valuable these assessment and correction tools are, and it has encouraged me to continue developing my skills in this area.

    Yes, I would definitely recommend this course to others. It is incredibly in-depth and offers a level of clinical understanding that you simply can’t achieve through shorter seminars or weekend training. The content is rich, detailed, and highly practical for day-to-day practice. That said, I would recommend it to chiropractors who are truly committed. Because there is so much valuable information, it’s easy to fall behind if you don’t stay consistent. I often found myself going back over modules to make sure I fully understood the material and while that required discipline, it was absolutely worth it. Overall, the course provides exceptional value for anyone who wants to deepen their SOT knowledge and elevate their clinical skills.

    Three great takeaways from this course: 1. Clearer, More Structured Paediatric Assessment Framework 2. An excellent system for evaluating infants and children through: refined cranial, spinal, and dural tension assessment 3. A great understanding of segmental motion, tone, and developmental movement patterns.

    This course has greatly enhanced my skills and confidence in assessing and treating infants. I now have a clearer framework for identifying tension patterns and applying gentle, effective techniques. Personally, it has fueled the “why” in terms of my passion for paediatric care.

    During a follow-up with a 3-month-old infant presenting with frequent arching, irritability, and mild feeding difficulties (often associated with reflux-related tension). The palate arch was very narrow which caused latching issues. I applied a gentle occipital cranial release as taught in the SOT course to balancing cranial motion. Also did a Sphenoid Flexion Release via Pterygoid Contact Outcome: Within a few sessions, the infant was noticeably calmer neck and head posture improved tolerance of feeding positions, reduced arching and easier settling for sleep Parents reported the baby was more comfortable and content, and feeding sessions were smoother, less arching noted and generally the family was all round so relieved.

    Yes, it is a great way to learn new adjustment skills, up-skill and improve pediatric care for the community. Improves networking with other health care professionals.
