ONLINE & HOME STUDY
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 be free from pain, avoiding invasive surgery and toxic pain medications. Practitioners build a loyal clientele and a lucrative business.
You can learn Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques® through home study (USB or DVDs and manuals) and online courses. Study these advanced massage courses from the convenience of your home and complete them at a pace that works for you. All massage therapy courses are standalone and can be taken in any order. However, we suggest you start with the foundational massage courses.
The courses listed here are divided into several broad categories:
- Foundational massage courses for those who are new to Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques®.
- Advanced massage courses for those who are familiar with the basic principles of MAT and want to expand their knowledge.
- Other massage courses explore various facets of MAT for both those who are new to MAT and for the more experienced.
The Foundational and Advanced MAT Courses count towards your requirements for certification as a Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT)®, an exclusive designation that represents the highest level of expertise in MAT and is one of the most highly regarded designations in the profession.
All MAT continuing education massage courses are approved for CE credits by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), as well as many state regulatory boards.
Bundle and save! You can purchase any course on its own, but consider getting the Foundational course bundle that includes all foundational courses for a discounted price. If you are ready for a deep dive into MAT, you can get the entire library of massage home study courses at a significant discount as well.
