Feedback From Our Students

  • Yu Hang Yiu

    “My three takeaways:
    1. Different types of scoliosis.
    2. Adjustments to different types of scoliosis.
    3. Blocking and home exercise.

    This program is going to equip me with more skills to manage patients with scoliosis, you know, chiro school does not provide enough management strategies for scoliosis.”

  • Katherine Hoffman, DC

    “This class was a great resource for additional treatment options for my scoliosis patients. I enjoyed learning techniques these patients could continue at home to block themselves to work on the balance through their spine. Addressing the T11-T12 are specific to the type of scoliosis was also helpful.

    I have more confidence now in options for our scoliosis patients. I have just started implementing what I have been learning with one of my patients. So far she has been responding well to what I have learned in previous SOT classes and as I continue through the blocking I hope to bring even greater relief to her chronic pain and tension

    I would recommend this course. This is information I have not received elsewhere.”

  • Karen Ferguson, DC

    “Even after 29 years of practice there is still room to learn. The convenience of online learning and being able to practice the technique at the office that day or the next day. There is feeling the support from others who have studied with you or who took the same program.

    This has helped bring more relief to the patients I care for.

    A patient with severe scoliosis, I adjusted her transitional segments and opened up the spine…she could tell a difference. Her relief lasted longer than after other adjustments.

    I would recommend this class because it’s easy to add to your current techniques.”
