    “I decided to take this course as I have recently returned to practice after a big break and wanted to give myself some more structure and work in a way that involved indicators.

    The program gives a good base of knowledge for SOT categories, it is helpful if feeling a little lost in practice as gives clear indicators to work with, and I like that the content could be worked through in my own time

    This program has given me motivation to improve my processes and procedures in clinic, as well as motivation to really start to understand and implement SOT.

    I used the seated lumbar adjustment on someone in a lot of pain, difficulty getting on table and it worked really well. I feel like I need a few more weeks to integrate and take the time to make sure my exam procedures and forms are in good enough shape to start using with patients.

    Thank you both very much for taking the time to create the course, it was very helpful/insightful and I really like that you made yourselves available for Q+A. As someone who is fairly new to SOT I did find the second half of the course had quite a lot of information, compared to the first half which I easily kept on top of. I also found it a little challenging to follow along in the workbook as it didn’t always follow the order you spoke about in the videos etc. I can’t wait to start implementing more of this in practice and will continue to study and improve my skills. Thank you.”

    “I entered Dr. Rosen/Watson’s SOT 3 Category program to better understand chiropractic clinical presentations I see in everyday practice.

    I learned how to address:
    1. Acute presentations caused by body breakdown in response to chronic primary subluxation.
    2. Compensatory system unwinding.
    3. Primary Subluxation

    I have gained a better understanding of the body’s response to subluxation and how to address it. Better understanding builds confidence which crosses over from professional life to personal life.

    I started implementing CAT II protocol as soon as the video was up. I loved how the SOT 3 categories program’s doctor share/live Q&A made distant learning seem not so distant. I would definitely attend an in-person class in the future.”

    “I wanted to learn more about the techniques I learned in the Pediatric Program. Prior to my courses with Peak Potential I had not utilized SOT in my office. I had not taken any classes in it since chiropractic school.

    SOT category adjusting has been a wonderful addition to my practice. The doctor sharings brought up questions that lead to a deeper understanding of the techniques and material presented. I plan to continue to ask more questions as I incorporate using the Categories in my practice and love having the ability to reach out about those questions.

    Learning about the Categories has helped me take a different approach to some of the cases that have entered my office and some of my patients that have often presented with similar patterns. I love having the indicators to follow to witness the more subtle shifts and changes as the patient progresses through their care plan. Also it keeps me from chasing everything that is hurting them at this time and focus on stabilizing with my category 2 patients.

    My husband sent a chronic low back pain patient to me he had hit a plateau with. This patient had a similar experience with other chiropractors in the past. Through the analysis I learned in this class I was able to find he was primarily a Category 2. I blocked him and he has been continuing to progress well with his care.

    It was a fantastic program!”

    “I know there is power in the SOT treatment protocols. I am getting older and am using a more gentle technique these days.

    My three takeaways are:
    1. The program is very detailed and goes into extensive explanation.
    2. Presented in an easy-to-understand method.
    3. Applicable the very first day.

    I have enjoyed learning this program and it is easier on the doctor and the patient. The patients are very curious and excited to have different styles of examination and treatment.

    I love checking the trap fibers and making spinal corrections. The patients are very surprised and confident in the treatment

    Using SOT is enhancing my practice and drawing a more appreciative and committed patient base.”

    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.
