Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

“This SOT Categories online course is a wonderful refresher or first time course. I chose to do it as a refresher and now feel as though I can incorporate the basics of SOT into my practice in a confident way. It is comprehensive and delivered in a methodical way to enhance retention. I look forward to doing more courses from Dr Rosen and Dr Watson.

I needed to refresh by SOT skills. I had a cursory knowledge of SOT and felt like I needed to know exactly how some of the tests/adjustments are performed, such as the psoas release and arm fossa test. Dr. Martin covers the theory very well and is highly articulate, the video demonstrations are clear and easy to follow, and the material is repeated throughout the course to enhance retention. I loved the program and intend to do all of the programs you offer over time when/if I’m financially able to do so.”

“I took this course to further understand SOT and to be able to have another technique that was easier on my body as I get older.

This is an in-depth study on SOT that really digs into the three different categories. I would purchase an occipital fiber chart to have handy in your treatment room. This course is a step-by-step to help you to determine which category you’re dealing with and to help you take better notes in determining the category.

This course has allowed me to better assist my patients that do not like osseous adjustments that would rather have a more gentle approach. It has also helped me to get those that are in chronic pain some relief.

I have been incorporating more cat 3 protocols lately in my office and helping patients find relief because of it.”

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.

Really fantastic course, once again so easy to follow and really allows not only learning at your own pace, but also to be able to study from countries outside of the US. Great to have the transcripts to follow, I found this really helped how I like to absorb information and really clarified a few points for me. The Call to Action activities are a great way of cementing the information, and again a new way of learning for me, other courses outside of Peak Potential haven’t had these types of activities before.

Personally, this course has really helped me to see the body and its compensations in a new way, has made me really think about how healing occurs or how compensations can impact health, which as a Chiropractor may sound obvious, however this course helped me to see beyond Chiropractic. Professionally this course has increased my confidence in practice and has really helped me to see more longevity in my profession.

Having seen a lot of older patients in my practice, this course has helped me to see where the category 3 really shows all the compensation mechanisms that have been present in those patients, and why I wasn’t seeing results until now. It has also helped me to talk to parents more easily about the compensations which occur at a young age and how Chiropractic can really address those and what it means longer term for their children.

I would recommend this course to other practitioners, once again the learning here has really changed the way I look at my treatment and how I can help more patients. The confidence I have gained really makes me see a future in my profession well beyond what I thought I would be capable of doing.

Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson clearly have an unwavering passion and commitment to healthcare, Chiropractic and the betterment of others, this comes through with each interaction and all communication. I really want to thank Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for all they have helped me with personally and professionally through their programmes and because of their dedication to Chiropractic.

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!
