    This is first in the Sacro-occipital Technique (SOT) 'Basic' Series - It is a 2-day event held on 21st-22nd March 2026 at our very own New Zealand College of Chiropractic, in Tāmaki Makaurau. 

    Please note, you can register now for the full series, or just the categories seminar. 

    Categories is a prerequisite for most other SOT workshops and events. This content is vital to understanding material of subsequent workshops. 

    This event is hands-on, however your brain will get a good workout too! 

    You will learn the anatomy and physiology of the three SOT 'category' systems, and adjusting techniques developed for each subluxation pattern- Each 'category' has different needs. This is a great analysis-tool to quickly let you know when your adjusting techniques needs to be tailored for an individual, and how to do so. 

    Learn the effects of S-I joint dysfunction on the dura, CSF and hence proper neural function. SOT-trained  practitioners are particularly focused on restoring normal S-I joint function, and improving CSF flow. 

    This seminar explores the concept of sacral-occipital motion, CSF fluid dynamics,  S-I joint anatomy. You will learn pre-blocking and blocking procedures (as as developed and researched by Major De Jarnette). 

    The dates of the rest of the series and SOTONZ events are:

    CMRT: May 2-3 2026

    Cranials: August 1-2 2026

    This is the second part of our three-part BASIC SERIES.

    Completing 'Categories' is a pre-requisite for attending this seminar. 

    Dr. Rosina Walker is our Lead Educator for this event. 

    This system of analysis and adjustment application aims to address autonomic nervous system dysfunction, aberrant viscero-somatic and somato-visceral reflexes, and CSF movement changes.

    The practical tools and techniques you will learn may give you a more holistic lens when approaching spine and nervous system dysfunction as it presents in your practice.
