Many have been asking what kind of practice I do? Here I describe a little of what it means to be an SOTier.
The Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) is a type of chiropractic therapy developed by Dr. Major Bertrand DeJarnette in the early 20th century. SOT is a system of diagnosis and treatment that seeks to restore and maintain balance in the body by evaluating and addressing the relationship between the spine, pelvis, cranium, and sacrum. SOT focuses on the body's natural, innate ability to self-regulate and self-heal.
SOT involves the use of a variety of techniques, including manipulation and mobilization of the spine and other joints, as well as soft tissue therapies such as massage and trigger point therapy. These techniques help to restore the normal biomechanical and physiological function of the spine, sacrum, and pelvis. SOT also includes the use of specialized tables, blocks, and wedges to help facilitate proper alignment and movement of the body.
When performing SOT, a practitioner will use a variety of manual techniques such as spinal manipulation, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy to restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve overall function. The goal of SOT is to encourage the body to self-regulate and heal itself. It is a holistic approach to health and wellness that seeks to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than just treating the symptoms. By restoring proper alignment and movement of the spine and other joints, SOT can help relieve pain, improve posture, and promote overall health and well-being.
