The MAT program truly is one of a kind. Whether you’re taking the home study or at one of the in person courses, these techniques with completely elevate your practice! They will give you perspective, understanding, and insight that will help guide you to being a better therapist. If you do get the chance to take the in person courses, definitely do it!!! The teachers and assistants are AMAZING!

I just finished learning how to navigate the tests. So far veary easy to understand!I have completed the tests which are extremely easy to navigate. I do realize that passing the tests is the easy part. What is difficult is attaining proficiency in the application of knowledge learned.

Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques do a wonderous job of bridging practices between osteopathic manual therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, and physical therapy. I believe Dr. Dalton did the world of manual therapy a great service in pulling together concepts, assessments, corrective techniques, and home retraining from these several bodywork specialties. MAT opens a door into the world of whole body management when the therapist studies and really understands what the body is capable of when integrating the techniques. By all means, take the Myoskeletal Therapy courses offered, but take the time to understand the ins and outs: The importance of assessments, how to develop a treatment plan from your assessment, what is happening when you perform the techniques, and how and why they work as well as they do. Understand them so well that you can even "undo" them if you must.Dalton's courses are considered top-of-the-line orthopedic massage techniques and I'd agree with that. But they are so much more than that. Erik delves deeply into the nervous system and how to work with it, "Changing the Brain's Mind About Pain," as he says. And yet, these courses are presented in small, digestible bites which can be reviewed again and again so the student can proceed at a pace that suits them. Exams throughout each course test the student's understanding and subject nuances so as to ingrain important concepts as the course goes along.The MAT community online and in-person is hugely supportive, so students will find they are among friends. The Dalton Gang instructors and teaching assistants are among the best out there, committed to helping students understand MAT theory, assessments, and techniques. In other words, MAT students aren't alone if they don't want to be.Whether you're a massage therapist, a MD, DO, DC, PT or PTA, OT or OTA, or an ATC, take Erik Dalton's Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques courses and be ready to level-up!

I absolutely loved this course so much!I am a licensed massage therapist and I work with athletes and the course material is very clear, the videos are excellent quality, the demonstration by Eric Dalton is excellent, the other images showing anatomy and techniques is top-notch! I am working on my master myoskeletal therapist certification, and I can’t wait to continue my journey in learning these therapy techniques!

Myoskeletal alignment took my massage practice up a notch each time I’ve added training. Recently, the Advanced upper body training helped me successfully treat clients with upper crossed syndrome and thoracic issues. I look forward to the next level and thank the team for continuing this awesome legacy of Erik Dalton!

I'm thrilled to have finally completed the MMT program, a method I've been studying since 2010 and that my clients have always loved.

The home-based courses are wonderful. It allows you time to absorb the information and opportunity to go back and watch or read something you may have missed. The live classes are great and really help you tie all of the information together and apply the techniques properly
Sharlann W.
I loved this coarse it was very detailed and easy to follow. It gives you time to review as much as you want and retake the quiz.

A must have course for Experienced and Licensed Therapists

This course was a great refresher in innervations and very informative with nerve flossing and traction techniques. I will be using these techniques in my practice.
Cody R.
Love all of these classes. Even for something as simple as spa massage he adds multiple frames of reference to see what to work on and many techniques that to do it
Brent H.
I only take these courses. Nothing else compares to the amount of knowledge you get.
Ava L.
This was a very good course.
Heather P.
I highly recommend taking an in person class with either Erik or one of his teachers. They offer classes frequently and a longer format class in Costa Rica. If you are a LMT, the advanced education offered here is above and beyond any other course I have ever taken.

The information in the courses is very informative.

I greatly enjoyed Advanced Myoskeletal Techniques for the upper body. All the videos were well thought out and executed. The handsome book that accompanies is worth its weight in gold. Personally, I preferred the book to the elearning course, but how nice to have options!! I would (and will!) recommend this to anyone who wants to further their bodywork careers.
Tiffany P.
I have taken three course now. One of those was an in person in Dublin Ireland. Such a treat to work with therapists from all over the world. Theater I enjoy most is learning the techniques at my pace.

I highly recommend taking "Treating Trapped Nerves" by Erik Dalton. His knowledge about nerves that are trapped and how to release them pain-free is a tool I intend to use.

I can't begin to tell you the gold mine of information Erik and his associates present. My interest in this work has never faded in 30 years and what I've learned from him over time has brought my business to new heights.

Just completed my first course.It's explained very well and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this course. I'm looking forward to completing more courses and getting my MMT.

Erik Dalton and "Gang" - have made continuing education fun, convenient and practical. I love that I can take course around my schedule and learn at my own pace. The response time when I have questions or concerns are timely as well. Thank you Erik for keeping us manual therapists the best game in town!
Joelle K.
I just started this course and I already like it! I love the fact that the segments and the quizzes are short so you stay focused. Refreshing from other classes!
SL B.
Live classes are the best way to learn for me. The home study courses are one of my favorite ways to reinforcement what I learned in a live class. Just finished the Technique Tour. The instructional videos are top notch with cadaver dissection and real life models to explain conditions, how to assess, the appropriate treatment and outcomes. Best part is I can go back and review all the techniques because I have indefinite access.

Excellent info and instructive videos
Angela L.
The best online course for remedial massage therapist especially here in Australia. It’s rare to find people who treat nerve pain so learning from Erik Dalton is such an honour. Thank you for your simple yet informative course. I enjoyed learning the course because Erik is the best teacher.I can’t wait to practice this techniques and help my clients who have present with these issues. Looking forward to attempting more courses in near future. I just wished Erik would consider doing courses here in Australia.
Laura B.
I have added a few moves to massages with long term clients to practice a little more and everyone has a renewed love of massage. I would definitely add this class to your to-do list. People love it and now I like working in sidelying more!

jessica J.
I’m so excited and thrilled (and honestly a bit relieved) to have completed both text reading and test for the DYNAMIC Lower Body Course! The reading was challenging and I LOVE a good challenge! The content is remarkable nothing short from being a page turner. I was intrigued by each chapter!The quality of expertise and knowledge is something I am very interested in. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I could incorporate the knowledge this course offered into my own practice immediately.I am astounded by the effectiveness MAT offers and honored to be part of this incredible opportunity to enhance my 27 years of professional massage therapy experience learning from Erik Dalton.

Erik Dalton has done it again with this course. His knowledge of the body and understanding of nerve compression and entrapments is superior. And then the treatments are great!
Erin T
I absolutely love learning Erik Dalton’s techniques. I hope so much to be able to attend a live workshop with Erik Dalton himself one day. He is an amazing teacher and explains things in a clear and concise way. I’m so grateful to have learned about him years ago. I do regret however not learning and incorporating his techniques sooner.
Desiree D.
The home studying series has great instructional videos! Loaded with cadaver dissection videos and real life clients with their conditions, assessment, treatment and outcomes. I highly recommend a live hands on training with Tammy McCue and team when possible. Her passion for teaching this incredible and sometimes complex information kept us engaged the whole 3 days. Class wasn’t rushed. Had a lot of knowledgeable teaching assistants that helped address our personal concerns regarding our body mechanics, techniques, and our personal client/therapist experiences. Hoping to receive my MMT certification in 2025 with Erik Dalton in Costa Rica!! Thank you Dalton Gang for all your support 💪💞
Glenda S.
I just completed Erik Dalton's Nerve Entrapment course. The course is so informative and includes text and video for a great understanding of the lessons. I am excited to integrate these techniques into my massage practice.

Amazing class! I learned so much!

Erik’s classes are always top notch including his Professional Ethics online class. I love online classes especially ones that let you learn on your schedule and not on a set timeline.

I completed one course, and with more than twenty-five years of experience, I must say that the doctor teaches very smoothly and effectively, and I hope that I can complete the rest of the courses.Thank you so much doctor.
Sakura S.
I very much enjoyed the Essential MAT Assessment course. It provides students with an extremely useful skill set to assess conditions and treat them from head to toe. This course is a great review of many of the MAT courses. I tend to use certain MAT techniques more often and tend not use others as much, so I found this course an excellent way to find the areas of MAT materials that I don’t use on a regular basis in my practice. I highly recommend it to everyone who appreciates/enjoyed learning Erik’s approach.

Had an incredible week studying MAT in Costa Rica. I am beginning the Foundational ecourse bundle and recommend hands on courses as well as the at home study courses!

As a MMT I found the Dalton Technique Treasures Course to be a welcomed refresher course that provided me with a renewed energy and confidence including MAT in every therapeutic treatment I perform.Valance R. Humphrey MMT

This is a very good program if you want to level up. I have been following Dalton on Social Media for years and just now decided to buy the program. I really wish I would have done it sooner.
Gemma B.
I took the Dynamic Lower Body course. It was great. I enjoyed the videos at the beginning of each lesson. The length of each lesson was right on with the quiz after it. Very user friendly and great information.

I recently took a continued education course on Treating Trapped Nerves with Dr. Erik Dalton. I have to admit I was already looking up Youtube videos on this topic as I suffered from an ulnar nerve entrapment, and then later a Baxster's nerve entrapment. I was hooked with nerve gliding/flossing instantly! I already helped a couple clients with ulnar nerve entrapment as well! I love that the course has a manual I can print out and use with my clients. I also love that they have some home exercises do also. Well worth the money I spent!
Rob W.
This course is an excellent course with easy to apply techniques that will improve your practice instantly.

Alma I.
I was at OKC 2023 workshop, and it was so much fun. I've been applying these techniques for years. I always leave one of the many workshops I've taken with new knowledge. This has increased my own practice in so many ways. My clients absolutely love the help they receive. Thanks Erik Dalton for all you have done.

I finished shoulder, arm and hand pain techniques course!! I would def recommend it to anyone who wants to add some useful tools to their practice. I use these techniques all the time and get some great results!!! Keeps the guest coming or more!!!
Janet R.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Dalton Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques because Erik used anatomy terminology, postural importance, plus used unique techniques using his body weight, rocking motions and the body's skeletal bones as leverage for tissue issues! His explanations were excellent. I studied each lesson and techniques so I understood exactly how to perform. Thank you for advancing my bodywork education.Janet E. Ruckrigl, BA, LMT, NCBTMB
Chris D.
The course was clear and direct, educational and useful. It is information that is valuable if your goal is to be a better bodyworker and not just a massage therapist.I have done "posture, pain, performance" and "upper body". Both are very useful.

Myoskeletal work is by far one of the most effective and efficient techniques for results based pain management. It gets the job done and trains to maintain. All of our staff will be taught these principles and this knowledge is a standard for our office from management and clients. Our local mentee's love shadowing our staff so they can learn to safely care for clients with confidence. We recommend therapists who desire efficacious treatments add this to their toolbox.Thank you Erik Dalton for sharing what you have learned and investing in the future.M.

The treating trapped nerves course really enhanced my practice.
Tracy R.
I would recommend the Posture, Pain and Performance MAT course to any manual/massage therapists that have interest in taking a problem solving approach in caring for their clients.As a practicing massage therapist of 25 years it can be challenging to find continuing education classes that are concise, enjoyable and introduce new concepts or techniques. This class was just that. The Posture, Pain & Performance MAT course material served as welcome review of concepts and techniques I'm already familiar with as well as demonstrating ways to perform specific techniques on specific muscles/muscle groups all while conveying valuable information about WHY the techniques are performed in a specific way. I come away knowing more than I knew before.I wish there were more massage therapists in my community that have MAT training.

I bought the fundamental package and started with the upper body. I loved the fact that I could read through the material instead of having it as a presentation. I also enjoyed watching the techniques along with the printed material. The camera angles and explanations were thorough and easy to follow. I am going to try some of these on my clients tomorrow! I can’t wait! 🙂
