Category II - Review and Completion, Today's Chiro, Sep/Oct
1996; 25 (5): 36-38.
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) pelvic blocks use no thrust and do not
bring the sacroiliac joint to tension, so the use of muscle and
ligament balancing prior to blocking allows the patient to accept the
gentle force of the blocks more successfully. In addition to the psoas
and iliofemoral muscular corrections trapezius fiber palpation can be
palpated and corrected. An aid to leg length analysis in category II is
presented called, "Neurological Permission" where a congruency between
leg length and various indicators is determined. The basic two cranial
correction for category II is presented with specific indications for
use.
