Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques

Learn innovative Bodywork deep tissue technique for chronic reflex muscle spasms caused by joint dysfunction, including Myofascial Mobilization, Structural Integration, Manipulative Osteopathy, and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET).

The Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques program was developed by Dr. Erik Dalton as a tool to help relieve neck/ back pain epidemic. By incorporating muscle-balancing techniques with joint-mobilization maneuvers, manual therapists learn to quickly identify and correct dysfunctional strain patterns before they become pain patterns. Combining muscle and joint modalities offers busy bodyworkers short-cuts that help shorten assessment/hands-on time, increase therapeutic efficiency; and provide clients with pain relief.

Disk 1: Myoskeletal Mechanic
A myoskeletal body mechanic doesn't just treat plantar fasciitis, bum knees, painful SI joints or functional scoliosis in isolation but searches for compensatory 'kinks' that initiate pain-spasm-pain cycles.

Disk 2: Fixing Kinetic Kinks
Myofascial and bony fixations along the kinetic chain soon manifest as strain or pain elsewhere. Follow Dalton through dozens of creative techniques to find and fix flat feet, knock-knees, short legs and pelvic pain syndromes.

Disk 3: Bone & Belly Work
Delve deeper into the body's anti-gravity spring system to lift fallen arches, decompress adhesive hip capsules and stabilize misaligned pelvic bones. Learn unique compaction / traction, articular pumping and client-assisted abdominal releases.

Disk 4: Sacroiliac Syndromes
Pelvic girdle ligaments must stretch to provide shock absorption for the spine. But injury and overuse can "jar or jam" articulating joint surfaces creating reflex psoas, QL and periformis myospasm. This video introduces alignment techniques to reduce ligament micro-tearing and sciatic nerve impingement.

Disk 5: Toning the Core and Pelvic Floor
Human gait must have fluid rotary motion through the body's core. Thus, pelvic floor damage resulting from child birthing, hysterectomies, a hooked coccyx, or other problems, jeopardizes gait efficiency and core stability. These lengthening and toning routines help you restore firing order, relieve dural drag and fuel spinal engine efficiency.

Disk 6: Unlocking Lumbars
This series closes with problem-solving of complex lumbo-pelvic disorders. Special spinal unwinding, articular springing and deep myofascial balancing maneuvers gently unlock chronic facet capsule fixations while restoring proper spinal curves. Myoskeletal Therapy complements all types of bodywork with practical strategies to alleviate reflex muscle guarding and joint blockage.
