Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

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.

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.

“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!”

My three takeaways:
1. Easy flexible online learning.
2. Understanding of 3 Categories, where to block and adjust.
3. Understanding exams needed to correctly “diagnose” (bad word but couldn’t think of another way) a category.

I will definitely implement the SOT blocking and canal work into my office.

If someone is looking to understand SOT, absolutely would recommend this course. Great intro to the technique.

“I wanted to fine tune my skills with the categories and organize my procedures more in line with SOT.

My three takeaways:
1. Good organization of the indicators with each category
2. Understanding of the difference in each category relating to the adjusting procedures
3. Great refresher and reminder of all that SOT can cover.

I feel more confident with my SOT procedures and continue to witness the miracle of the body and Chiropractic. In particular I have a better understanding of the R+C procedure and have made significant progress with eliminating those indicators.

I appreciate your teaching style, especially with the online program. I like the bite sized pieces of information that I can take back to the clinic and work into my procedures.”
