Senior educator Tammy McCue has been a therapist for 20-plus years and was recently inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. After a formal education in Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, and Massage Therapy, she became a Master Myoskeletal Therapist®. She recognized in MAT a unique approach to the body that allows her to treat underlying patterns rather than simply chase pain. She is spreading her love of MAT through sold-out classes across the country.

This dedicated practitioner takes pride in helping clients, whether it is chronic back pain or helping an athlete perform at their optimal level. After studying MAT, getting her Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT)® certification and successfully implementing MAT in her personal practice, she is eager to share her knowledge and teach advanced techniques to other practitioners, whatever their background. She brings as much energy to the classroom as she does into her treatment room!

Scott Doss remembers attending his first Myoskeletal seminar and how it opened his eyes to a type of manual therapy that was specifically designed to assess and treat clients in an approachable, easy way; It changed his life and his practice. Now, as a Master Myoskeletal Therapist® and MAT educator, he dedicates his time to treating, educating, and encouraging clients presenting with a variety of injuries and pain patterns with enjoyment in one of his two locations in the Atlanta area.

Her formal education in research science provides her the unique ability to understand and incorporate current findings and best practices into workshops. Kathleen has a unique ability to break down and disseminate complex information into an easy to understand format. In addition, she feels the best learning environment should be fun, relaxed and never short of snacks and caffeine.

Damon Bolden, MMT has been practicing MAT techniques since 2012. The positive response he experienced in helping his clients using MAT encouraged him to learn more. His massage practice is thriving thanks to the skills he has learned in MAT courses and workshops. He completed his MMT certification in 2018 and is now teaching MAT workshops in Las Vegas, Nevada.   

Clinton Merrifield: "I have a passion for massage and specialize in assessments, pain relief, and educating clients towards pain free movement.  As a Master Myoskeletal Therapist®, I provide better health, well-being, and knowledge to clients through positive pain-relief therapies and movement training programs.”  My three favorite words are “educate, educate, educate!” I am currently living in Germany and teaching MAT workshops in Europe.
