Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“I am looking for new ways to help patients with chronic issues that keep recurring and want to incorporate blocking as a more gentle technique approach.

My three takeaways are:
1. Identify ascending/descending patterns in order to address the prominent issue first.
2. Check for and remove atlas/axis dural restrictions.
3. Awareness of positive muscle control and the idea that not every ‘fixed’ joint should be adjusted as some are compensations for a hypermobility problem.

Professionally I feel I can help my patients further and explain better why they have the issues they have and how the healing process will be. I have noticed an impact of removing atlas dural restrictions in several patients. It’s been very interesting to observe the changes patients report. The CCC also is a good educational tool as patients notice that raising the legs becomes easier or more difficult with cervical compression.

It’s the best seminar I’ve ever taken! So much information that I’m a bit overwhelmed but I learned so much that I’ve been able to immediately start using it in practice. Dr. Rosen was amazing in his explanations and I now understand SOT so much better!”

This program is a must for any chiropractor. It opens one up to the possibilities of treating differently should the need arise. I have already implemented some of these practices in my practice with great success. I’m confident with what Dr. Rosen has lain out in this course and I look forward to adjusting my practice.

It’s been great fun studying again, especially being able to do this on the other side of the world. I feel I will continue with SOT practices in the future and hone my skills in this practice

I had a patient with severe sciatic nerve pain radiating down his left leg into his calf. Upon using the category 3 pelvic wedge position according to the protocols set out in this course within one session his pain had reduced significantly I was blown away. I had used my usual methods twice with no response, I was getting desperate as was my patient.

Yes, absolutely would recommend this course! So much information in each section. I had to watch each video many times to get all the info. It is an adjunct to any practice. The more you know the better you can serve.

A great start to my SOT journey. Many thanks!

1. This course teaches how to approach an occipital fiber line 3, which was missing from the in-person series. 2. Dural tension is something all chiropractors need to understand as research comes out saying “segmental specificity doesn’t matter” 3. Cranial techniques won’t be as effective if pelvic torsion and spinal compensations are not addressed/alleviated first.

I took this course in conjunction with the live SOT certification series taught by Dr. Blum. This SOT system gives me a lot of excitement about treating patients. I’ve been getting better, lasting results for my patients, and am able to work smarter instead of harder. It helps me feel surer that I’ll be able to help people even as I get older without the risk of injury.

I have a 6″7, 300lb patient who I always worked up a sweat trying to help with his hip, knee, foot and occasional neck issues. Ever since using the Category II approach in the proper sequence, he has felt the best he has ever felt, and I’m using half the physical effort to achieve that.

I’d highly recommend this course. It’s too important of a technique to only be taught once per year in one location. Your course makes it convenient, accessible, and is paced appropriately.

This was great for me. I am happy I took this course, giving me a steady drip of content to learn and homework to fill up the weeks in between my 4 weekend trips out to California to practice hands-on. I think it could be great for you and Dr. Blum offers a package deal so people taking the course can experience the same experience I had.

“I took this course to improve my skill and learn new techniques.

My takeaways are that one complaint can hide something that has been there for longer than the complaint. The importance of considering the body as a whole and the strong relationship between the cervical and the pelvis.

The course has enlarged my view on chiropractic care, and taught me a new way to approach a complaint.

Great class.”

“I wanted a better understanding of the 3 categories in the SOT protocol. I wished to gain more clinical knowledge to educate other doctors and patients in the future.

Dr. Marty & Dr. Nancy make themselves available and really break the content down into digestible tidbits that make it easier to understand. Years of expertise that Dr. Marty & Dr. Nancy are invaluable!

I hope by creating an understanding of SOT that I can professionally help teach others in the future through chiropractic college elective course work.

I have applied some of the Pediatric program into my office application. Recently an infant was brought to my office with moderate to severe cranial distortions. She was not crawling and was on the verge of being referred for a helmet. With consistent cranial care we were able to get cranial measurements in a mild range and closer to normal helping avoid expensive helmets. Infant began to meet additional milestones as well as felt comfortable during tummy time.

Keep being a source for chiropractors! You are quite the pair! Let’s get you back to Nebraska soon!”
