What is Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)?

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a gentle, specialized chiropractic approach that emphasizes the vital connection between the sacrum (at the base of the spine) and the occiput (at the base of the skull). This connection plays a key role in promoting healthy circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the brain and throughout the nervous system.

SOT also addresses cranial and sutural imbalances, recognizing the importance of normal cranial function in maintaining overall health and preventing disease. Practitioners use a three-category system to assess and correct structural and functional issues within the body.

By promoting pelvic stability and structural balance, SOT helps the nervous system function at its highest potential.
