Praise For: SOT® – The Three Categories

It’s a thorough, comprehensive program that requires watching the videos a number of times, studying the notes and applying the work daily with patients.

I find myself evaluating patients from a much broader and comprehensive perspective. That has been rewarding intellectually for me, and patients benefit with a more satisfying outcome.

I would recommend the course, but you must put the time in and apply the procedures in the office.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

1. This course teaches how to approach an occipital fiber line 3, which was missing from the in-person series. 2. Dural tension is something all chiropractors need to understand as research comes out saying “segmental specificity doesn’t matter” 3. Cranial techniques won’t be as effective if pelvic torsion and spinal compensations are not addressed/alleviated first.

I took this course in conjunction with the live SOT certification series taught by Dr. Blum. This SOT system gives me a lot of excitement about treating patients. I’ve been getting better, lasting results for my patients, and am able to work smarter instead of harder. It helps me feel surer that I’ll be able to help people even as I get older without the risk of injury.

I have a 6″7, 300lb patient who I always worked up a sweat trying to help with his hip, knee, foot and occasional neck issues. Ever since using the Category II approach in the proper sequence, he has felt the best he has ever felt, and I’m using half the physical effort to achieve that.

I’d highly recommend this course. It’s too important of a technique to only be taught once per year in one location. Your course makes it convenient, accessible, and is paced appropriately.

This was great for me. I am happy I took this course, giving me a steady drip of content to learn and homework to fill up the weeks in between my 4 weekend trips out to California to practice hands-on. I think it could be great for you and Dr. Blum offers a package deal so people taking the course can experience the same experience I had.
