    My three takeaways:
    1. Easy flexible online learning.
    2. Understanding of 3 Categories, where to block and adjust.
    3. Understanding exams needed to correctly “diagnose” (bad word but couldn’t think of another way) a category.

    I will definitely implement the SOT blocking and canal work into my office.

    If someone is looking to understand SOT, absolutely would recommend this course. Great intro to the technique.

  • Dr. Hao Duan Wu

    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.

    Great content!

    “I entered Dr. Rosen/Watson’s SOT 3 Category program to better understand chiropractic clinical presentations I see in everyday practice.

    I learned how to address:
    1. Acute presentations caused by body breakdown in response to chronic primary subluxation.
    2. Compensatory system unwinding.
    3. Primary Subluxation

    I have gained a better understanding of the body’s response to subluxation and how to address it. Better understanding builds confidence which crosses over from professional life to personal life.

    I started implementing CAT II protocol as soon as the video was up. I loved how the SOT 3 categories program’s doctor share/live Q&A made distant learning seem not so distant. I would definitely attend an in-person class in the future.”

    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.

    “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.”
