Common conditions that respond well

The acute lower back pain -  where it so painful that you can't  get up out of bed or even walk, this is the worst of the back pains, or the rhy neck (torticollis)  where you are "frozen" in the neck from the shoulders up you have to turn your waist to turn your head.
This technique is another of the more gently  methods. For the patient, it is a passive technique where they lie  down and vinyl wedges are placed under the pelvic. As you lie there resting the wedges are gently stretching the painful  ligaments and muscles, and usually within 10-15 minutes the agony will have stopped or  reduced markedly. These consultations are usually long visits,  as we allowing the body weight to help stretch the inflamed region. 
Also children  love this treatment method because there is no sense of a manipulation with it. It is just as suitable for the elderly, even the very elderly 80-90 year age group.

Some further information for the analytical people.

Category I 
refers to fixation (restriction) of the  Lumber sacrum region as they inter react with each other this is known as the sacro-iliac boot mechanism, this in turn effect important nerve pathways that run and regulate the pelvic area.

Category II
this usually involves a tear, sprain or strain of the sacro iliac joint from heavy lifting  with rotation ie moving heavy pot plants, lifting  lawn mowers etc and patients usually present complaining of a tearing pain in the groin. Injuries have to do with dysfunctions of the weight-bearing parts of the sacro iliac joints.

Category III
involves the discs and their blood supply. This is the category of most acute low back pain patients. SOT has special procedures for the care of these patients that is both effective and safe
