My first workshop was MIND-BLOWING! The techniques that Erik showed were profoundly simple but effective! I've known this from his FB page and Instagram! But to see him perform these in person?! HELLO! And, to be in a room with 250 likeminded practitioners, whose goal is to help increase balance, ROM and joint function, was inspiring. For the first time, I felt part of something bigger! Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the tools to help my clients feel better! To all of you that have not taken this class yet, get off that couch and change your life! Book this workshop and feel the contagious energy!

I've been a massage therapist for over 30 years and have never stopped educating myself. Erik Dalton's workshop was a wonderful experience. It increased my potential to assist the client find a solution for their discomfort. Real solutions. Practical and very possible relief techniques that absolutely change the clients outcome for being able to carry on in their life with greater ease and strength. Erik’s heart and humor radiates and makes the learning experience fun and fulfilling. And I loved being surrounded by over 200 massage therapists!

"One of the most amazing things to me about MAT theory and practice is it’s accessibility to both beginners and seasoned professionals. I’ve spent time studying many different systems and always refer to MAT as where “the rubber hits the road.” It is taught in a way that is immediately applicable."

I’ve been an massage therapist for 14 years now, and this was, by far, my favorite class taken to date! The amount of knowledge and knowledgeable practitioners in one room was mind blowing. I’ve used several techniques taught by Dalton, and have had nothing but astounding results. Thank you!! I’d take the class a million times over!
