An update from SOTO NZ president, Dr. Rosina Walker (B.Chiro)- May 2025

Almost half way through 2025, and it seems to have gone in a blink of an eye. We have had 2 great seminars this year, our Categories & C.M.R.T. seminars. Both were awesome, even thought we only had a few people attend these hands-on seminars. We are looking to hold a Regional Workshop in Auckland prior to Cranials on the 27th July, so keep an eye out for further emails and SM posts about dates & locations. This is an excellent time to improve on the skills you have learned in your previous seminars. 2.5hours of your time on a Friday evening in Auckland, although we can & will hold more Regional Workshops around the country if the demand is there. Let us know if you are interested in holding a workshop in your office.


Our AGM  is to be held via Zoom this year, on Tuesday May 27th. Please register to attend. We are wanting as many people as possible to join us to help develop & grow SOTO NZ in the coming years. See you online soon!


Look out for our upcoming dates for 2025 seminars.

Cranials: 19th/20th July

Exams:  18th July

Advanced Module: 11th/12th October


Looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning!

    Join us for an enriching seminar focused on cranial techniques that you can immediately implement in your practice.

    This seminar is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in addressing the cranium, setting the stage for advanced SOT modules such as sutures and intra-orals.

    During the seminar, you will delve into the functional relationships of the cranial membranes and their profound impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and central nervous system (CNS) function. Gain valuable insights into the connections that can be influenced to affect these areas and learn essential techniques.

    Please note that completion of Categories is a prerequisite for attending this module.

    Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and enhance your practice- Register now and be prepared to elevate your cranial expertise.

Membership Directory

SOT has been an active technique in Aotearoa New Zealand since 1945 (that we know of!).

There are chiropractors all around the motu that use blocks, adjust the cranial system, have been to seminars here or internationally, are SOT certified, teach SOT, love SOT, use it occasionally, or use it all the time.

We figured it was time to find you all and help us connect ourselves and patients with SOT options in NZ!  Search here to find a chiropractor holding a membership with us
