Frequently Asked Questions

Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques® (MAT) is a comprehensive system developed by Erik Dalton as a tool to help relieve our nation’s neck and back pain epidemic. It’s firmly grounded in osteopathic bodywork, but incorporates a range of techniques and modalities that make it uniquely suited for massage therapists and other manual therapists. In the MAT approach, you’ll use muscle balancing techniques, graded exposure, joint stretching maneuvers, nerve mobilization, fascial manipulation and other types of massage techniques. Unlike the traditional medical or orthopedic massage approach that is lesion specific, MAT takes a holistic full-body approach that allows you to quickly identify and correct dysfunctional, neurologically-driven strain patterns before they become pain patterns.
