ART OF MAT COURSE (16 CE)

Take an inside look at Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques in action as you watch Erik Dalton treat real people with real problems.

An Advanced Course for MMT Certification: The Art Of MAT course is part of the Advanced MAT Program and will take you one step closer to Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT) certification. It’s a perfect addition to your skill set for anyone working in sports medicine, massage therapy, structural integration, physical therapy or personal training. 

Course Description:

We all know how frustrating it is when clients come in time after time showing little or no improvement. Yet many of the conditions that clients bring in are chronic and complex making it difficult to get favorable outcomes with the limited information we’ve learned in massage school. If you’ve seen our courses before, you know that we always begin with a thorough functional assessment and then perform specific hands-on corrections for each condition. Once we have re-tested for improved mobility and better functional movement, the client is given specific corrective exercises to do at home.

In this final step towards our Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT) certification, we rounded up some real people with very real problems so we could show you how to quickly identify the main event causing their dysfunctions and a step-by-step protocol for guiding them back to a pain-free life. Join us as we marry the art and science of manual therapy through the Art of MAT.

In this course you’ll learn how to treat clients presenting with conditions such as:

  • Nocturnal arm numbness (TOS)
  • Low back pain on forward bending
  • Leg pain when sitting (sciatica)
  • Crooked spines (functional scoliosis)
  • Neck cricks that refer pain into the arms
  • Pelvic pain and breathing disorders
  • Rotator cuff injuries that impede sports performance
  • And much more!

The home study course includes three DVDs or the NEW enhanced video USBs and a handsome technique manual for easy-to-follow instructions in Dalton’s most-used maneuvers. By helping your clients avoid or reduce their use of pain medication or invasive surgery, you’ll be a valuable resource for your community.

BONUS! Purchase the Home Study and we’ll give you access to the eCourse for free! (valued at $249). You receive the entire contents of the program online where you can access through any device: computer, laptop, tablet or phone. You’re no longer tied to your DVD player and can enjoy the course wherever you have Internet access. 

Earn 16 CE hours! Upon successful completion, you will earn 16 CE hours, for your bodywork licensure, recognized by National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB), Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) and most State Licensing Boards. This MAT course is approved by CE Broker under the “General Category” only.  You will have also taken a step toward completing the Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT) Certification. Upon completion of the requirements of the course you’ll receive your Certificate of Completion and be listed in our highly searched Online Directory of bodyworkers with MAT training.
