Praise For: Occipital Fiber Analysis and Soft Tissue Reflex Techniques (CMRT)

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.

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…

I decided to continue after taking the SOT series in order to help patients with chronic issues/patterns.

1. After practicing and being able to identify active line 2 fibers, they can help the Dr. find the ‘lynch pin’, where the cause of a patients problems lie and what would give them the optimal chance to heal. 2. Through patients complaints /symptoms identify which fibers/ organs/ vertebrae are related. 3. Understanding of progression of subluxation from inferior tippage to rotation, closing off dural port and creating the visceral somatic arc.

This program hasn’t impacted me as much as the SOT series. I found it to be a lot of information and specifically for palpating the fibers. I feel I would have needed to be in person to make sure I am finding the correct areas. I do plan to continue to learn from my notes and hopefully integrate some of the most common protocols that we learned. I think the information is very interesting but very intense to learn.

I have found some active line 2 fibers and patients are amazed that it correlates to issues they are having. I have not had the chance to practice the specific protocols for the organs as I am still not proficient in identifying the fibers. I have practiced palpating and neutralizing fibers and associated vertebrae.

Living in Germany, I’m very thankful to have these online seminars to continue learning from abroad. I would love to someday make it to an in person seminar.

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.

I took this course because I’ve always been interested in SOT as I had the technique performed on me while I was a student and it was the most miraculous adjustment I had ever received. I was hoping to obtain new skills to help my patients meet their health goals, especially my pediatric population.

Three takeaways:

Less can be more when it comes to making the impact you want on people’s lives and health.
1. The body is an amazing healing machine and it has hidden indicators for things you never would have realized.
2. The more you practice and perform CMRT, the more you will be amazed at what you can learn about your patient’s body and how to support their nervous system.
3. Personally, this program has reignited my passion for chiropractic care. I was down to very few adjusting patients as I mainly practice functional medicine, but this course has made me want to do more with my chiropractic skills. Professionally, I have seen tremendous results on the few patients I have practiced CMRT on. I want to continue to learn more SOT. This style of adjusting makes more sense than anything I was taught in school. I only wish I had pursued it sooner.

The first patient I tried it on was a patient suffering from anxiety. At the time, I had only watched a few of the videos. She had been complaining of left sided chest pain under her breast that would ease for a few days after her adjustment and come right back. I did the coronary protocol for emotional issues and she came back 4 weeks later telling me that the pain had been gone for 3 weeks until everything got stressful for the holidays. I was amazed. I’m excited to continue using the technique until I become proficient.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I loved taking this course and learning. I’m excited to implement the protocols more as I see things come up with my patients. I’ve already changed the way I talk to new patients so they understand that the chiropractic side is non-negotiable if they want to work with me because I believe in the power of CMRT. I can’t wait to continue learning for you both!
