Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

Really fantastic course, once again so easy to follow and really allows not only learning at your own pace, but also to be able to study from countries outside of the US. Great to have the transcripts to follow, I found this really helped how I like to absorb information and really clarified a few points for me. The Call to Action activities are a great way of cementing the information, and again a new way of learning for me, other courses outside of Peak Potential haven’t had these types of activities before.

Personally, this course has really helped me to see the body and its compensations in a new way, has made me really think about how healing occurs or how compensations can impact health, which as a Chiropractor may sound obvious, however this course helped me to see beyond Chiropractic. Professionally this course has increased my confidence in practice and has really helped me to see more longevity in my profession.

Having seen a lot of older patients in my practice, this course has helped me to see where the category 3 really shows all the compensation mechanisms that have been present in those patients, and why I wasn’t seeing results until now. It has also helped me to talk to parents more easily about the compensations which occur at a young age and how Chiropractic can really address those and what it means longer term for their children.

I would recommend this course to other practitioners, once again the learning here has really changed the way I look at my treatment and how I can help more patients. The confidence I have gained really makes me see a future in my profession well beyond what I thought I would be capable of doing.

Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson clearly have an unwavering passion and commitment to healthcare, Chiropractic and the betterment of others, this comes through with each interaction and all communication. I really want to thank Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for all they have helped me with personally and professionally through their programmes and because of their dedication to Chiropractic.

“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!”

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.

“I took this program having been in practice for 35 years. I really needed a refresher course. Loved the Show and Tell videos.

Personally I have been struggling with lower back and SI problems from injuries which have not responded to the traditional spinal manipulation issues, and my intuition led me back to the SOT protocols.

Using the SOT protocols, ie. Category 2, my patients have been holding their adjustments much better for their wellness care.”
