    I have a better understanding of the vertebral subluxation complex and the body’s compensation reactions to subluxations. Following the indicators has improved treatment protocols for the patient. Learning about the categories has helped me take a different approach to the care of my patients.

    Over the last few years, I have been dealing with Parkinson’s Disease. The symptoms have become worse and have affected my adjustments. I needed a more reliable way to treat patients. SOT is becoming that avenue for me.

    Once I started blocking patients, I started seeing more positive results almost immediately. I also have been explaining the categories and the indicators to the patients. They seem to grasp the concepts quickly and are appreciative for a more detailed explanation beyond “You have a bone out of place”.

    I would recommend this course. The organization of the indicators, categories, and treatment protocols help get better results in a gentler way.

    Thanks to both of you for helping me find a way to stay in practice a little bit longer.

    Well structured, systematically taught over 15 weeks allows additional time to study.

    The program has helped keep the Chiropractic spirit alive in me even in retirement. I am able to treat my family with the category system rather easily.

    It is an awesome way to learn SOT. My fourth course this year.

    “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!”

    I love the gentle and specific approach that you get with SOT. I feel like blocking and adjusting CAT IIs, they get so much more relief and results that last longer. I like having a system for analysis and for adjusting to monitor objective changes.

    I feel like I have a system for my adult patients to use on D1s and reexams to access their subluxation patterns. Patients love seeing the objective changes as I adjust, for ex. checking trap fibers, adjusting and rechecking, they’re always amazed at the difference with a “simple” light force adjustment.

    I’ve started doing a lot more CAT II protocols, not just the wedges, which is what I was doing prior, checking arm fossa, wedging and that was it…. I know that sounds bad but having this refresher course has improved the patient’s results by doing the WHOLE protocol, they seem more stable longer.

    Yes, of course. I love all PPI courses. I always get good nuggets out of them. I’ve incorporated so many new techniques over the past couple of years and my practice has exploded since! Patients want what we have!

    Great program. Thank you for everything!

    I learned about the foundation of the Sacro-Occipital Technique. I also learned the treatment protocol of those categories that really help me to treat patients.

    It gave me a direction for treating patients, I understand the foundation of SOT made me want to learn more about SOT such as the TMJ and Cranial part.

    I am in the student clinic right now. One of my patients had an injury of the SI joint for a while during an Aikido session. Came in with a complaint of SI joint. I used SOT Category II protocol to treat her. Her pain immediately disappeared in the first session of treatment, which is amazing.

    Yes, it is a detailed course that talks about the history, physiology, anatomy and treatment method of SOT. I will definitely recommend this to my classmate that want to learn SOT.
