I bring more than 30 years of experience in the health and fitness industry to my work as a bodyworker, with a primary focus on orthopedic massage and functional rehabilitation. My background includes a Diploma of Exercise Science and a Diploma of Remedial Massage, along with advanced training through the CHEK Institute in Scientific Core Conditioning, Scientific Back Training, and Advanced Programming. Over the years, I’ve integrated a wide range of approaches into my practice, including myofascial release, cupping, corrective exercise, and other manual therapy techniques. Whether working with the general population or elite athletes, my focus has always been on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction, particularly in clients dealing with chronic pain.
I first discovered Erik Dalton’s work through YouTube, and I was immediately drawn to his approach. It was exactly what I had been searching for, a system that could take my existing skills and elevate them to a new level. The combination of simplicity and effectiveness in MAT techniques stood out to me right away, especially in how they address complex conditions without overcomplicating the treatment process.
Since integrating MAT into my practice, the results have been transformative. My business has grown entirely through word of mouth, with no advertising, and I typically maintain a two to three week waiting list. More importantly, the outcomes for my clients have been remarkable. Many come to me after years of chronic pain and unsuccessful treatments elsewhere, and through MAT, they often experience a level of relief and functional improvement they hadn’t thought possible.
For therapists considering this path, my advice is simple: if you want to expand your clinical skills and truly impact your clients’ lives, begin the MAT journey. It has the potential to transform not only your practice, but the way you think about bodywork. And above all, always stay a student.
