9th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American Academy of Pain Management, Las Vegas, NVSep 1998
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is based on the understanding, identification and treatment of three bodily systems referred to as categories. The three systems (categories) are: (1) The primary cranial sacral respiratory mechanism (PCSRM), (2) the weight-bearing system of the body and the unified function of (3) the lumbopelvic structures. It is not unusual for the qualities of each of these categories to overlap and interrelate. One of three categories is chosen for care based on specific SOT tests (indicators). Each category has a specific adjusting protocol. SOT is an orderly arranged method with specific outcome goals and system integrity.
