Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

My three takeaways:
1. The content is very precise and clear 2. Drs. Rosen and Watson are experts in pediatrics, and they have opened my perspective. 3. The live Q&A can really deepen our understanding

I never learnt SOT before, and this can really help me to peel different layers of complex presentation of pain.

I have been using different tests and blocking systems to balance leg lengths, and it has been significant.

I would absolutely recommend this course.

Thank you very much again for creating this very important course.

1. Learned about the basics of SOT 2. Know about the physiology behind 3. Understand about the treatment protocol for each category

I can use it when I start my student clinical year.

Increased my passion for chiropractic studies. I really want to try them on real patients and learn more about SOT.

Definitely would recommend this course. The lectures are very detailed and explained a lot on the basics of SOT. Cannot imagine a 2 days seminar to understand all these.

Thank you for your teaching.

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 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.

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.
