Erik Dalton: Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques

The Myoskeletal Alignment Technique (MAT) system brings together the most advanced therapeutic strategies to relieve, and ultimately correct, patterns in the body that lead to pain and deterioration. With MAT therapy, clients can reduce pain, avoid invasive surgery and toxic pain medications.

Vol 1. Neck / Back
A variety of soft tissue strategies taken from manipulative osteopathy for neck and back problems. Unfortunately there is no longer a good product description on the website for this first volume.
A knowledge of bony landmarks is important for this very specific deep tissue work. Live training is highly recommended.

Vol 2. Head / Neck
Designed for the professional, passionate bodywork therapist, this beautifully produced course incorporates seventy-six innovative deep tissue, assisted stretching, joint mobilization, and muscle strengthening techniques. This stunning 6-piece home study package includes: three hours of broadcast quality video (DVD or VHS), Advanced massage textbook, multiple-choice test, free home-study ethics course, and upon program completion, a handsome “Advanced Myoskeletal Therapist” diploma.
Follow Dalton through his very popular “Dirty-Dozen” cervicothoracic routines: Myoskeletal Zone Therapy for twisted diaphragms and Advanced Receptor Techniques for complex upper quadrant pain. Learn immediately applicable deep tissue techniques for clients suffering neck, scapula, back, and visceral pain. Special dissection video, computer animation, and lively demos help massage therapists determine if pain originates from muscles, ligaments, joint capsules, or nerve impingement.
