    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!

    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 program is a must for any chiropractor. It opens one up to the possibilities of treating differently should the need arise. I have already implemented some of these practices in my practice with great success. I’m confident with what Dr. Rosen has lain out in this course and I look forward to adjusting my practice.

    It’s been great fun studying again, especially being able to do this on the other side of the world. I feel I will continue with SOT practices in the future and hone my skills in this practice

    I had a patient with severe sciatic nerve pain radiating down his left leg into his calf. Upon using the category 3 pelvic wedge position according to the protocols set out in this course within one session his pain had reduced significantly I was blown away. I had used my usual methods twice with no response, I was getting desperate as was my patient.

    Yes, absolutely would recommend this course! So much information in each section. I had to watch each video many times to get all the info. It is an adjunct to any practice. The more you know the better you can serve.

    A great start to my SOT journey. Many thanks!

    My three takeaways:
    1. The content is very precise and clear 2. Drs. Rosen and Watson are experts in pediatrics, and they have opened my perspective. 3. The live Q&A can really deepen our understanding

    I never learnt SOT before, and this can really help me to peel different layers of complex presentation of pain.

    I have been using different tests and blocking systems to balance leg lengths, and it has been significant.

    I would absolutely recommend this course.

    Thank you very much again for creating this very important course.

    “I am looking for new ways to help patients with chronic issues that keep recurring and want to incorporate blocking as a more gentle technique approach.

    My three takeaways are:
    1. Identify ascending/descending patterns in order to address the prominent issue first.
    2. Check for and remove atlas/axis dural restrictions.
    3. Awareness of positive muscle control and the idea that not every ‘fixed’ joint should be adjusted as some are compensations for a hypermobility problem.

    Professionally I feel I can help my patients further and explain better why they have the issues they have and how the healing process will be. I have noticed an impact of removing atlas dural restrictions in several patients. It’s been very interesting to observe the changes patients report. The CCC also is a good educational tool as patients notice that raising the legs becomes easier or more difficult with cervical compression.

    It’s the best seminar I’ve ever taken! So much information that I’m a bit overwhelmed but I learned so much that I’ve been able to immediately start using it in practice. Dr. Rosen was amazing in his explanations and I now understand SOT so much better!”
