Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“I took this program for a greater understanding of SOT categories and their management.

My three takeaways are:
1. SOT is not confusing, just detailed.
2. The 3 categories are the foundation.
3. SOT is not difficult to apply.

This program has given me another practical tool to use in patient care.

I had a new patient with a hot discogenic pain. Category 3. Pain went from 8 to a 3 during first treatment. 6 sessions to a 0/10 pain.”

“The SOT categories course in Australia was on weekends that I was unable to attend in the past couple of years. Studying online gave me the ability to learn the categories.

The course is set out in bite sized pieces, the information is logically presented in a systematic way, and the information is well presented through video and workbook.

This course has given me the Ability to help more people through chiropractic. It has made me more confident as a chiropractor and given me more enjoyment in practice.

I’ve learnt ways of testing through the category indicators to understand what subluxation patterns are present. It has given me more certainty in what and how to adjust.

I really enjoyed the program and am inspired to learn more and dive more deeply into SOT.”

1. Learned about the basics of SOT 2. Know about the physiology behind 3. Understand about the treatment protocol for each category

I can use it when I start my student clinical year.

Increased my passion for chiropractic studies. I really want to try them on real patients and learn more about SOT.

Definitely would recommend this course. The lectures are very detailed and explained a lot on the basics of SOT. Cannot imagine a 2 days seminar to understand all these.

Thank you for your teaching.

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 know there is power in the SOT treatment protocols. I am getting older and am using a more gentle technique these days.

My three takeaways are:
1. The program is very detailed and goes into extensive explanation.
2. Presented in an easy-to-understand method.
3. Applicable the very first day.

I have enjoyed learning this program and it is easier on the doctor and the patient. The patients are very curious and excited to have different styles of examination and treatment.

I love checking the trap fibers and making spinal corrections. The patients are very surprised and confident in the treatment

Using SOT is enhancing my practice and drawing a more appreciative and committed patient base.”
