Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“I took SOT Europe’s first three modules at the beginning of the year (Cat I, II, II and extremities). Lots of questions arose as I started using SOT with patients.

The program was well structured, ensuring that participants can comfortably absorb, comprehend, and put into practice the concepts taught. This program answered so many questions, I’m so grateful for having taken part in this course. I am feeling more confident using SOT. In the clinic, patients with chronic complaints have finally started to heal.

I have been treating a patient for about 2 years. She presented with left buttock pain. I had gone far further than previous chiropractors in helping her. However, her pain remained. It was only when I started using SOT and identified a Category II subluxation pattern that I was able to clear her pain completely and get her back to running and practicing martial arts. She is still a stable category 1 patient now and I see her for maintenance every four weeks.

Thank you for answering all my questions. I am looking forward to the CMRT course. You always made me feel welcome with my many questions, and I really appreciate your help and kindness.”

This was my first experience with SOT. I started implementing bits and pieces into my practice and my patients started seeing better and better results.

I received a voicemail from a lifelong chiropractic patient after running her through the system for the first time. She told me that was the BEST she had ever felt after an adjustment.

By the end of the course, I had completely changed my entire exam and adjusted protocols to fit the 3 category system. Drs. Rosen and Watson do a wonderful job of explaining and simplifying complex biomechanics and neurology.

If you are looking to standardize your analysis and adjusting protocols, while still maintaining a high level of individualized care, this class is for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.”

“I took this program because I was hoping to truly unlock the basics of SOT and understand the 3 differentiating categories. I wanted to include it and slowly start incorporating blocks into my practice.

My three takeaways are:
1. Each category has been clearly explained and the tests shown
2. SOT does require a lot of testing but it does not need to take long to do it
3. The importance of the testing in your diagnosis

This course has helped broaden my scope to be a better chiropractor for my patients.

I have especially used category three as I have a lot of acute patients that visit me-I have seen a massive change in approaching them more specifically, with correct block position and by using the basic cranial move. Very happy to understand this category to help speed up healing.

Thank you for giving me some extra time to work through all the videos. I have made plenty of notes to go through and revisit as I go along. Thanks for your brilliant knowledge and exceptional expertise in this field.”

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 learned about how different each Category is and the adjustment protocol for each Category. It also gives me a better way to explain to the patient what is going on with their body.

It gives me more insights about different subluxations and a different perspective from what was taught in uni.

I used Category II assessment on my patient, and following the protocol, the symptoms actually got better.

Yes, I would recommend this course because it gives me a detailed insight into SOT paradigm.
