What is Sacro-Occipital Technique?

Sacro-occipital Technique, or S.O.T. is a system of evaluation and treatment that focuses on the cranial-sacral reciprocal motion system and the core dynamics of the spine and cranium.  SOT recognizes the potency, subtlety and importance of these fundamental biological rhythms that animate the spine and nervous system and offers effective ways to restore and direct them.  When there is ease and flow in the cranial-sacral system, the spine stabilizes and strengthens, pain often goes away, and the nervous system functions much more effectively and efficiently.

SOT fundamentally acknowledges the innate intelligence of the human body.  It allows the body to inform us how to most effectively support its return to health and balance.

In this technique, along with manual muscle testing, we use wedge-shaped blocks for the low back and pelvis and gentle adjusting techniques for the spine, cranium and extremities.
