Sacro-Occipital Technique (S.O.T.)
Sacro-Occipital Technique (S.O.T.) is a gentle, holistic approach that supports the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine), the cranium (skull), and the nervous system.
This technique focuses on improving structural balance and neurological communication by addressing patterns of tension or imbalance throughout the spine, pelvis, and cranial system. S.O.T. also works with cerebrospinal fluid flow - an important factor in nervous system health and overall regulation.
Care is low-force and highly specific, supporting the body’s natural ability to stabilise, integrate, and heal. Rather than forcing change, S.O.T. helps create the conditions for your system to reorganise itself more effectively.
This approach is particularly helpful when the body feels guarded, stuck, or unable to fully relax.
People often explore Sacro-Occipital Technique when experiencing:
Chronic tension or protective holding patterns
Pelvic or spinal imbalance
Headaches, jaw tension, or facial pressure
Nervous system dysregulation or difficulty settling
Postural strain or asymmetry
Fatigue linked to physical stress
A sense of structural instability or restriction
Long-standing discomfort that hasn’t fully resolved
