Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
Also known as SOT
Balancing the pelvis and skull using gentle gravity and wedges.
What is Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)?
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a chiropractic approach that focuses on the relationship between the pelvis and the skull to support balance within the nervous system. It often uses gentle methods, including the use of pelvic wedges, to help the body correct patterns of stress and dysfunction.
This technique is often chosen by
- Patients comfortable lying on a table while specialized wedges are placed under the pelvis
- Individuals who like care guided by posture and soft tissue assessment to determine where adjustments are needed
- People who understand care may include cranial work involving firm, intentional contact
- Patients open to a combination of supported positioning, soft tissue work, and targeted manual adjustments
- Individuals who understand that while this approach is often lower-force, audible joint movement may still occur
