His chiropractic career started in 1970 after he graduated from the Palmer College of Chiropractic Medicine. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1984 where he became involved in teaching SOT (sacra-occipital technique). Along with Drs Nelson and Cameron DeCamp, and having taken all the relevant exams and received his Diplomate in Craniopathy in 1985, Jonathan formed SOTO Europe, a sister organisation to SORSI (USA), PAAC (Japan), SOTO Australia/Asia. SOTO Europe now teaches over 400 chiropractors. Jonathan Howat's Oxford Chiropractic Clinic in Headington, Oxford, became a showcase for SOT. In 2004, received a revelation by The Lord in a dream, showing an internal view of a distorted mouth and its correction, giving him an immediate insight into how the cranium and brain really worked, with the sphenoid being the central bone of the skull and the key to the cranium and all the cranial fascia that controlled the internal brain components. For too long, he felt, science had based its learning of the body segmentally, rather than systemically, leaving the student with no way of understanding the intricacies of brain physiology. He decided to take this concept forward and called it 'Cranial Fascial Dynamics (CFD)' and spent many years developing the hypothesis and model into an entirely different application of understanding how the brain develops from the embryological principles and reversing the fascial distortions that occur through trauma. The Howat Protocols of Cranial Fascial Dynamics were formed in 2019 to teach practitioners how to recognise and identify the fascial torque component, how to reduce it as much as possible, and how to allow the body's inherent recuperative powers to re-establish normal physiological function, within its own capability.view less
