    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.

    This course was a great breakdown of the meaning, evaluation, and protocols for each category. It was very clear and well presented.

    I now have a better understanding of what my Category III patients are going through… Up until this point I really focused more on learning Category I because of the pediatric protocols I learned through you, as well as Category II because that’s what chronically I am.

    I’ve recently had a few acute pain situations where I have been able to use the blocking protocols to help alleviate their pain and get them feeling better faster.

    This course really helps to build confidence in knowing that you are making a difference because of understanding how the indicators work and how things clear or don’t clear if you are making the correct adjusting protocols.

    “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.”

    Well structured, systematically taught over 15 weeks allows additional time to study.

    The program has helped keep the Chiropractic spirit alive in me even in retirement. I am able to treat my family with the category system rather easily.

    It is an awesome way to learn SOT. My fourth course this year.

  • Dr. Hui Yi Yap

    I learnt that SOT can be gentle and neurological based.

    It changed how I see the body as an interconnected system.

    I applied some of the techniques in my clinical year of practice and patients have provided great feedback!

    Yes, I would recommend this course.
