    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 thought it was a really interesting course! A lot to take in but I have really enjoyed it, thank you!

    It has made me think a lot more about my practice and that I probably need to research SOT further.

    I have been using various techniques for the course but I feel that I need to maybe treat a group of family members/friends first to really embrace it!

    Absolutely would recommend this course and I will sign up to some other courses soon!

    Thank you!

    It’s a system of analysis which is pretty structured and is more comprehensive than most techniques from a functional standpoint.

    It helped me clarify the tests.

    It’s an introduction to SOT which should’ve be taught at the university level as one of the most basic techniques.

    Great job.

    “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!”

    1. Great material well-presented 2. Immediately applicable 3. Call to Action exercises really help integrate learning.

    This is an excellent course for beginning chiropractors and veterans alike. I have been practicing for 25 years. While I had learned SOT in college, I wanted to brush up on principles. This class was so much more. I feel like I learned a technique with efficient protocol immediately applicable to my practice. The instruction was excellent and the doctor shares and call to action exercises extremely helpful.

    I have spent the bulk of my career primarily using the Gonstead technique. But after working closely with an SOT doctor, I saw how it expanded my ability to treat more people, especially those who might not be able to handle high-velocity adjustments. I began a two-year study which ultimately led to this course. I am so grateful to have met Drs. Rosen and Watson. Their course helped solidify my understanding of this protocol.

    I would highly recommend this course to both beginning and veteran chiropractors. If you have an interest in expanding your ability to help people chiropractically, you will gain much by taking this course. It is well-ordered, exceptionally presented, and comprehensive. The call to actions really helps to integrate the material, and the doctor shares insight and an excellent way to have questions answered. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson has done an outstanding job at presenting this valuable chiropractic technique.

    Thank you for a wonderful class. I am so grateful I found you. I was looking for SOT instruction and believe it or not, I could find no other seminars. Now, clearly in hindsight, I was fortunate to find your courses, but I was surprised that nothing was offered through the colleges. Anyway, I am grateful that you are keeping this valuable knowledge alive and well. Bless you for your work.
