Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“I took this program having been in practice for 35 years. I really needed a refresher course. Loved the Show and Tell videos.

Personally I have been struggling with lower back and SI problems from injuries which have not responded to the traditional spinal manipulation issues, and my intuition led me back to the SOT protocols.

Using the SOT protocols, ie. Category 2, my patients have been holding their adjustments much better for their wellness care.”

“I am a recent graduate and was introduced to SOT through a DC that I was working under for a brief moment. Being a recent graduate, when I started working in a practice, I found that I was somewhat disorganized, and lost the way I was taught to approach, examine, diagnose, and structure a care plan for patients. Having to see how SOT was used in the practice by another DC had piqued my interest in the system which led me to sign up.

My three takeaways are:
1. Flexibility of online modules
2. Clear, planned out and well-explained concepts that were split up into videos that were not too long.
3. Q & A sessions and call-to-action quizzes

Since starting, professionally I have applied the SOT system into practice and utilized all the components to improve my assessments, diagnosis and care for my patients. Personally, I have become more intrigued with the Philosophy of Chiropractic itself and spent more time asking and challenging what I learned at University.

I had a patient who came in acute on chronic onset of LBP with neuro signs. After going through the assessment and determining that it was a Category III, I followed the blocking protocols and had awesome improvements after a few visits.

The course has been awesome, Thank you Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for spending the time to set up the course and help upskilling chiropractors around the globe with their experiences and knowledge.”

“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!”

“I decided to take this course as I have recently returned to practice after a big break and wanted to give myself some more structure and work in a way that involved indicators.

The program gives a good base of knowledge for SOT categories, it is helpful if feeling a little lost in practice as gives clear indicators to work with, and I like that the content could be worked through in my own time

This program has given me motivation to improve my processes and procedures in clinic, as well as motivation to really start to understand and implement SOT.

I used the seated lumbar adjustment on someone in a lot of pain, difficulty getting on table and it worked really well. I feel like I need a few more weeks to integrate and take the time to make sure my exam procedures and forms are in good enough shape to start using with patients.

Thank you both very much for taking the time to create the course, it was very helpful/insightful and I really like that you made yourselves available for Q+A. As someone who is fairly new to SOT I did find the second half of the course had quite a lot of information, compared to the first half which I easily kept on top of. I also found it a little challenging to follow along in the workbook as it didn’t always follow the order you spoke about in the videos etc. I can’t wait to start implementing more of this in practice and will continue to study and improve my skills. Thank you.”

I love the gentle and specific approach that you get with SOT. I feel like blocking and adjusting CAT IIs, they get so much more relief and results that last longer. I like having a system for analysis and for adjusting to monitor objective changes.

I feel like I have a system for my adult patients to use on D1s and reexams to access their subluxation patterns. Patients love seeing the objective changes as I adjust, for ex. checking trap fibers, adjusting and rechecking, they’re always amazed at the difference with a “simple” light force adjustment.

I’ve started doing a lot more CAT II protocols, not just the wedges, which is what I was doing prior, checking arm fossa, wedging and that was it…. I know that sounds bad but having this refresher course has improved the patient’s results by doing the WHOLE protocol, they seem more stable longer.

Yes, of course. I love all PPI courses. I always get good nuggets out of them. I’ve incorporated so many new techniques over the past couple of years and my practice has exploded since! Patients want what we have!

Great program. Thank you for everything!
