LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings to SOT™ Methods Members Worldwide,

If you were in St. Louis this week you know what a wonderful experience it was. There were many amazing classes and outstanding opportunities to learn new and effective techniques to benefit your patients. Many countries were represented including South America, Australia, England and Japan. Our global organization continues to thrive and flourish. I am extremely honored and humbled to have been chosen as president of  SORSI and to be trusted with the sacred task of leading SOT™ Methods into the future. I know this is a monumental undertaking and I pledge all my time and energy to growing our ranks and spreading the vast knowledge of our technique to more doctors and patients here in the U.S.A. and around the world.

As you can see from the website, SORSI has a new face and presentation thanks to the tireless work of Dr. Seekins, Dr. Bench, Dr.’s Joe and Mary Unger as well as our counterparts in England, Australia, Japan and South America. I’m sure Dr. De Jarnette would be very proud of the direction we have taken to promote and represent his legacy. The next year will be filled with challenges and changes we will have to make and meet in order to move forward. Education should be a priority and regional seminars are going to be increased and held in accessible areas to doctors and students alike. We will coordinate seminar dates to avoid class and testing conflicts. Online materials and webinars will also be offered to provide additional learning opportunities.

 Dr. David Rozeboom is to be commended and congratulated for his organization and administration of the Rose Ertler Memorial Library. Please visit and take advantage of this marvelous resource.

 Dr. John Famer and others have worked relentlessly for years to amass a comprehensive video library of the Major and many notable instructors including M.L. Rees, Cameron and Nelson DeCamp, Laurence DeMann and many others. It is my hope to make some of these videos available on the website to give our newer members an opportunity to see the masters at work. Dr. Farmer has hundreds of hours of video recordings for sale and all proceeds go to SORSI for research, scholarships and much more.

 I hope to increase member benefits and incentives to members who bring in new doctors to SORSI. In addition, I would like to re-institute and redesign the chiropractic assistant program. A trained assistant can be an invaluable asset to any chiropractor. This is especially true in a SOT™ Methods practice where cranial techniques are employed which require multiple hand contacts. A well trained chiropractic assistant in a chiropractic office is as valuable as a LPN, RN or Nurse Practitioner in a medical facility. Anyone who is willing to help organize and develop the endeavor should contact Candice or me.

Sincerely,

Dan Madock, D.C. D.I.C.S.
