Technique Tuesday Spotlight
The Knee is Rarely the Knee's Problem
Knee pain often reflects more than a problem at the knee. In this article, Erik Dalton explores how restrictions at the ankle, tibiofibular joint, hip, and surrounding tissues can alter knee mechanics and contribute to discomfort. You’ll also learn three practical MAT techniques to improve accessory motion and support healthier movement. The featured video demonstrates the tibiofibular glide, a powerful method for restoring motion at the proximal tibiofibular joint and reducing protective guarding around the lateral knee.

Erik Dalton's Annual Costa Rica CE Retreat, 2026!
Join Licensed MAT Educators Nate Fay and Scott Doss for this annual CE event honoring founder Erik Dalton.
Escape to Costa Rica for an unforgettable week-long CE retreat where intensive hands-on learning meets tropical renewal. In this 30-CE Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques® workshop, you’ll master Erik’s unique regional sequences and integrate them into your bodywork sessions with confidence. Between sessions, make new friends, recharge in the tranquil environment, and enjoy resort amenities, spa services, and exciting excursions. Return home inspired, connected, and equipped with proven MAT strategies to help clients move better and feel better. Costa Rica typically sells out early, so plan ahead, choose your accommodation, and hold your spot soon.
Bring a massage colleague to Costa Rica, share a room, and you each save around $600 or more. That includes the lower double-occupancy rate plus an additional $100 Massage Buddy Discount for each therapist. You’ll have a built-in travel companion, practice partner, and someone to share the entire retreat experience with.
Or bring your life partner. You’ll have plenty of time for relaxation and recreation, so share the experience without leaving anyone behind. They won’t be attending classes, so there’s no tuition fee. They’ll pay only the resort fee. Spend some time together and enjoy the resort amenities, excursions, and exceptional spa treatments.
