Rebalance Your Pelvic Foundation Without Aggressive Force
Low back pain, hip discomfort, and uneven weight distribution often map back to a twisted or unstable pelvis. At New Roots Chiropractic, we utilize Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) Pelvic Blocking to correct pelvic torsion using your own body weight and natural respiratory patterns, eliminating the need for sudden manual rotations.
The Mechanics Behind SOT Blocking
SOT treats the body as a continuous kinetic machine. By using specialized, padded triangular blocks placed precisely under your pelvis, New Roots Chiropractic utilizes gravity to gently guide the sacroiliac (SI) joints back into perfect operational balance.
- Pelvic Alignment: Corrects uneven leg length and hip tracking issues.
- Low-Force Alternative: Ideal for patients with severe acute pain, osteoporosis, or a preference for gentle care.
Target Benefits of SOT Pelvic Blocking
- Balances the foundational stability of the lower back and pelvis
- Decreases chronic sacroiliac (SI) joint irritation
- Reduces tension all the way up the spinal line to the neck
- Perfect for highly sensitive or acute pain profiles
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “SOT” stand for?
SOT stands for Sacro Occipital Technique, identifying the structural relationship between the base of the skull (occiput) and the base of the spine (sacrum).
How long do I rest on the pelvic blocks?
Depending on your unique pelvic pattern, you will comfortably rest on the blocks for anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes while gentle, gravity-assisted alignment occurs.
