Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

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 program to learn a more indicator base technique to make better decisions on patient care and to keep myself more interested.

With this program, you will learn very specific ways to handle different types of patient presentation. You will learn exactly the steps to take proper care of patients based on their presentation. You will be able to communicate the need for longer term care and wellness.

The course challenged me and stimulated passion to help more patients. I used sot methods to help existing patients and got feedback that what was done helped more than treatment in the past.”

It’s a thorough, comprehensive program that requires watching the videos a number of times, studying the notes and applying the work daily with patients.

I find myself evaluating patients from a much broader and comprehensive perspective. That has been rewarding intellectually for me, and patients benefit with a more satisfying outcome.

I would recommend the course, but you must put the time in and apply the procedures in the office.

SOT provides a deeper look into the functioning of the nervous system and the role of the dural meningeal system in nervous system functioning, chronic patterns, and clues that the source of dysfunction may not be local to the area of pain but may be a compensation above or below. SOT provides an extra key to unlocking the nervous system with the cranial distortion evaluation and how it plays a part in the dural meningeal system, CSF flow and more. The SOT evaluation helps to give better understanding of the capacity to which a person’s nervous system is functioning beyond the everyday ortho and neurological exams taught in school. It is more of a qualitative nervous system analysis rather than a specific diagnostic problem because the nervous system functions as a whole.

I have been able to provide a unique/different technique in my area that is starting to give some results with patients so hopefully will attract more in the future.

This technique has been able to keep me from over adjusting my patients and learning to trust the indicators rather than what I may be feeling without the use of the indicators. For one patient the indicators encouraged me to adjust the cervicals differently which has helped. For another patient having lots of neck pain and not making progress with another provider I was able to determine it was an ascending pattern and the problem was more in his pelvis and sacrum and releasing the AI sacrum was providing the most relief.

Yes, I would recommend this course. I think it helps to have more tools in the toolbox for when you become “stuck” with patient progress and learning to read the body’s indicators helps to provide direction to help them. Also, the role the dural meningeal system plays in nervous system health is not taught in schools so I think it could provide better and more lasting results if the system is unwound.

This was a great introduction to SOT, I have gained foundational knowledge to start using this technique. I’m excited to begin using the information learned to help patients in a different way. I like the systematic approach, and am excited to master what I’ve learned and then take another class.

It has given me a more strategic way to assess and adjust.

Yes, I would recommend this class. The course is well organized, with a good amount of information presented each week.

I really enjoyed this course.
