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

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!

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.

I have been studying the SOT paradigm for years and have been an eye witness to the benefits of CMRT in real time. I decided to take this course to gain the knowledge of how and when to apply the specific CMRT protocols in chiropractic practice. In my opinion, these techniques allow you to shift the stigma of chiropractic to be recognized as a primary care physician, which is how I wish to serve patients in my practice.

After taking this course, you could guarantee receiving: 1. Specific clinical applications. 2. A detailed checklist to guide you through specific protocols. 3. An understanding of neurological impact and change.

This course has given me further confidence as a primary care chiropractor and allowed me to provide clarity and potential for family members, friends and other practice members who have too often found an end path with certain health conditions and dysfunctions. With the knowledge I have gained I will strive to continue to shift the common misconception that chiropractic only caters solely to musculoskeletal conditions.

I have mainly utilized these techniques in identifying certain underlying problems that have negatively impacted expectations of patient progress. For example, a patient hadn’t been responding to care and after analyzing her occipital fibers and certain reflex points it led me to order further imaging to eventually find an issue with her IUD was perpetuating her issues.

Thank you Dr. Watson and Dr. Rosen for dedicating their lives to this incredible medical knowledge and art we know as chiropractic. I’m looking forward to continuing to study with them for as long as they continue to provide the knowledge they share!

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 took this course to have a more specific technique for organic challenges.

Each module is detailed, organized and well thought out.

I am able to apply the content to not only my patients but also my family.

I have a male patient with Addison’s disease who has been able to reduce his medications and able to put on weight since beginning care utilizing some of the CMRT techniques.

Love learning from you all!!
