The purposes for which SOTO INTERNATIONAL was formed are as follows:
- To preserve, promote, advance, and elevate the basic principles of SOT and SOT Craniopathy as methods of chiropractic treatment.
- To foster an international relationship and bring about a spirit of unity and cooperation among the practitioners and students of SOT throughout the world.
- To regulate, manage, and administer the international dissemination, education, and training of practitioners and students of SOT in a consistent, uniform and harmonious manner.
- To foster and promote scientific and clinical research studies in chiropractic and particularly to develop findings that are specific to the application of SOT and are generalisable to chiropractic care.
2010 saw the establishment of the global standardisation of the teaching of SOT. Universal texts were approved, along with their corresponding presentations, from which an international certification process was created. The SOT-International marque was designed to signify and reflect the material involved in this project.
