Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“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!”

A clearer picture of the indicators and corrections of each of the three categories as well as a meter grasp of the neurology associated with the Category system.

I have been able to apply it directly on a daily basis, understanding better the dollar and crest sign in the Category I correction on a specific patient I have been working on.

I have been working with a patient for a considerable amount of time, starting with a dural approach, then Category II indicators and this week, moving to Category I correction. Still waiting to see if this improves her symptomatology, although each correction has cleared the indicators.

I would recommend this course. The ability to study SOT from a master without all the ridiculous politics is refreshing!

Thank you for this course. I know that I have been slow getting through all of the material, but I have been cherry-picking the info that I have needed in the moment before sitting down to complete the course and it has still been a rewarding course and will continue to be a reference point in the future for my patients!

“I took this course to improve my skill and learn new techniques.

My takeaways are that one complaint can hide something that has been there for longer than the complaint. The importance of considering the body as a whole and the strong relationship between the cervical and the pelvis.

The course has enlarged my view on chiropractic care, and taught me a new way to approach a complaint.

Great class.”

I have a better understanding of the vertebral subluxation complex and the body’s compensation reactions to subluxations. Following the indicators has improved treatment protocols for the patient. Learning about the categories has helped me take a different approach to the care of my patients.

Over the last few years, I have been dealing with Parkinson’s Disease. The symptoms have become worse and have affected my adjustments. I needed a more reliable way to treat patients. SOT is becoming that avenue for me.

Once I started blocking patients, I started seeing more positive results almost immediately. I also have been explaining the categories and the indicators to the patients. They seem to grasp the concepts quickly and are appreciative for a more detailed explanation beyond “You have a bone out of place”.

I would recommend this course. The organization of the indicators, categories, and treatment protocols help get better results in a gentler way.

Thanks to both of you for helping me find a way to stay in practice a little bit longer.

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.
