Transform Your Practice with Soft Tissue Orthopedics –

Dr. Rees developed STO as a comprehensive system that uses non-surgical techniques to correct soft tissue deformities, restore organ function, and revive the vital energies within the human body. His innovative approach integrates:

• The Triune of Well Being model to address physical, mental, and spiritual imbalances and corrective procedure
• Neurologic and Psychomotor testing
• Advanced assessment techniques including Temporal Sphenoidal scans and Proprioceptive Corrections
• Category-specific procedures targeting craniosacral, weight-bearing, and intervertebral dysfunctions (Orthopedic Blocking)
• Visceral Manipulation and specialized manual techniques including; Dynamic Stretch Adjustments and Cranial Corrections
• Hands-on Practice with anatomical landmarks and reflexes (available virtually or in-person) to confidently apply STO techniques

Whether you are a chiropractor or physical therapist, this course will empower you to bring profound healing to your patients by addressing the root causes of imbalance. Precise orthopedic testing to identify spinal and soft tissue imbalances and the dynamic hands-on manual corrective procedures.
