Spinal Orthopathic Syndesmobilization Therapy (abbreviated S.O.S) is a very unique method of stretching deep tissues directly connected to the spine and hips. S.O.S. was developed through a technique of spinal manipulation called “naprapathy,” closely related to chiropractic. The focus of this work is to address the ligaments and connective tissue surrounding the vertebra and hip joints.

A gentle but firm stretch is performed to the tissues to give rise to increased flexibility in the area. S.O.S. therapy emphasizes specific stretching or mobilization, but it does not “align” the spine. Unlike chiropractic, it does not utilize high velocity cavitation of a joint capsule. The trained therapist will specifically help to restore proper structural relationships within the spinal system by reducing tension and inflammation between the vertebrae.
