MOTION IS LOTION COURSE (16 CE)

With these powerful MAT techniques you’ll learn how to relieve protective muscle spasm, restore motion in adhesive joint capsules, and promote healing in injured ligaments. Features real clients with real problems.

An Advanced Course for MMT Certification: The Motion Is Lotion 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:

Over time, it is common for tension, trauma and poor posture to cause the brain to stiffen the body’s musculofascial system resulting in limited mobility, protective muscle guarding, and loss of coordinated movement. In this very popular course, Erik Dalton teams up with senior MAT instructor Paul Kelly to show actual case studies including assessments, treatments, and corrective home retraining exercises.

The content in this self-study program teaches you how to bring lubrication to adhesive tissues, restore motion to adhesive joint capsules, and promote healing in injured ligaments with the ultimate goal of providing fast, effective pain relief and restoring optimal movement. You’ll also learn how to elevate the value of your services by teaching clients specific at-home exercises to further enhance the efficacy of each bodywork session.

In this course you’ll learn how to: 

  • Perform accurate assessments of joint positioning and mobility
  • Encourage joint stretching with maneuvers such as traction and gliding
  • Combine soft tissue massage with graded exposure stretching and muscle energy techniques
  • Educate clients on corrective home exercises they can use to assist your work
  • Utilize over 65 musculofascial mobilization assessments and corrective exercises

The home study course includes three DVDs or the NEW enhanced video USBs packed with technique demonstrations and educational graphics and a full color reference manual for your treatment room.

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.

If you would like to help clients restore lotion to motion-restricted and protectively guarded joint capsules, nerve entrapments, and injured ligaments… you and your clients will love this work!
