MYOSKELETAL MOBILIZATION MASSAGE COURSE (10 CE)
The Myoskeletal Mobilization Massage course can be described as the “greatest hits” version of the Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT)® Erik Dalton has been developing over the past forty years. Erik has said that if he were starting over again as a therapist this would be the course he’d want to take.
This course came about as the result of requests to expand on the popular Myoskeletal Spa Massage program. In the Myoskeletal Mobilization Massage course Erik has expanded on the relaxation routine by including additional techniques and adding a whole new section on what he refers to as ‘bench work’, that is, massage done in a seated position. In this program Erik Dalton takes you on a step-by-step journey through a full body routine that he uses almost daily in his practice.
This course is not only designed as a relaxation massage, it also teaches an efficient and effective method for assessing and correcting flexibility and mobility issues we see every day in our practices. As you follow him along in this routine you’ll learn lots of tips on proper body mechanics to add power and control to your hands-on work and to protect your body from injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff strain.
Course Description:
The Myoskeletal Mobilization Massage course is divided into four sections: Prone, Sidelying, Supine, and Bench Work. The techniques included in the Bench Work section offer alternate (and sometimes better) approaches for assessing and correcting soft tissue and bony restrictions in clients with neck, rotator cuff, ribcage and low back pain.
Once you complete this course, you may decide to select specific techniques to incorporate into your existing massage practice or you may decide to perform the entire Mobilization Massage as it is taught. Your clients will absolutely love this routine and its incredibly easy on your body too. The 80+ techniques that you’ll learn in this course are designed to be performed in a typical relaxation massage setting as well as in practices that focus more on pain management and rehabilitation.
In this course you will learn:
- Over 80 techniques for Prone, Sidelying, Supine, and Bench Work
