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.

"Using Erik Dalton's three lines of defense for
chronic myoskeletal pain the---"dirty dozen" techniques, myoskeletal zone
therapy and neuro-receptor routines--therapists will enhance their skills in
correcting complex pain conditions. Rated 10 our of 10" -Review from Massage Today Magazine
On disk one, Dr. Dalton reviews his”
dirty dozen” techniques, which are 12 advanced methods for the
correction of the Upper Cross Syndrome. Disk 2 reviews the treatment of
more chronic and difficult cases seen involving the head, neck and upper
extremity. You will learn fascial release techniques for the diaphragm,
thoracic outlet region, and other areas of compensation. Later on, he
reviews treatment to the base of the skull and release techniques for
the sub-occipital muscles in cases of whiplash, headache and neck pain.
Evaluation techniques are also
demonstrated for altered biomechanics and release methods for the
anterior and posterior cervical musculature. A great concept is utilized
here: Myotherapy procedures are delivered on a glass surface under the
patient, allowing the viewer to see the hand action of the practitioner.
I thought it was a unique concept in teaching manual methods on patients
while they are supine. Overall, you will find these clips superb. There
is a lot of information to learn and review; however, being able to spin
through it on this form of media allows you to learn as time allows.
Dr. Dalton does a good job of passing on the work of the late Dr. Janda.

Advanced Myoskeletal Alignment
Techniques® for
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand
New Tools For Your “Toolbox of
Touch”
Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Volume III Pain Management edition introduces
65 new deep tissue techniques for serious bodywork therapists—from the
physical therapist to the orthopedic specialist -learn to beat the pain
game. Two state of the art bodywork DVDs.
Beat Pain At Its Own Game…
with Erik Dalton’s two-step protocol for
correcting chronic shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain:
Clinical
orthopedic joint mobilization routines for
fibrotic joint capsules, ligaments, and muscles.
Deep tissue, muscle energy,
and neuroreceptor bodywork techniques
for torn tendons and nerve impingement syndromes.
On disk one, Dr. Dalton demonstrates a
variety of PNF and massage techniques to mobilize all restricted
barriers in ROM of the sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint,
glenohumeral joint, distal and proximal radiocarpal joints, interosseous
membrane and scapulothoracic joint. During his examination, Dr. Dalton
takes a biomechanical approach, looking for tissue abnormality,
asymmetry and motion restrictions. Next, he reviews specific conditions
that are seen commonly in practice, such as thoracic outlet syndrome,
supraspinatus tendonitis, subdeltoid bursitis, subscapular tendonitis
and bicipital tendonitis. When treating for these painful regions, he
quite often moves beyond the joint of complaint and restores function in
neighboring tissues.
Disk two focuses on the elbow and
wrist, ending with the treatment of a patient presenting with a frozen
shoulder. He reviews various elbow conditions, such as tennis elbow,
golfers elbow and ulnar entrapment. For the wrist, he presents his
approach toward the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, Dequervain’s
syndrome and trigger finger. The frozen shoulder demonstration that ends
this section of the disk involves a number of unique procedures to
improve muscle and capsular mobility. Review from

About Erik Dalton
Erik
Dalton, Ph.D., earned his philosophy and clinical
psychology degrees from the University of Oklahoma. An
inspiring presentation by Dr. Ida Rolf in 1972 sparked a
passionate mind-body adventure leading Dalton through a
maze of learning institutions including the Menninger
Foundation, Mueller College of Holistic Studies,
Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the
Rolf® Institute of Structural Integration.
In 1989, a traumatic neck injury spurred a self-healing
inquiry into the neurologic relationship between muscles
and joints...spinal biomechanical therapy. Throughout
the next decade, Dalton interned with leading
manipulative osteopaths which prompted the integration
of osteopathic principles into his Structural
Integration practice. Thus, the seeds for his
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques® were planted.
Dalton serves as Executive Director of the Freedom From
Pain Institute® which is dedicated to the research and
treatment of chronic pain conditions. Erik Dalton shares
his broad therapeutic background in massage, structural
integration and osteopathy in his entertaining and informative
pain-management workshops, books and DVDs.
"I highly recommend Erik
Dalton's Myoskeletal Techniques to all my students. It helps
them handle frustrating neck and low back challenges they
see in the workplace every day.”
Jim Asher, Advanced Rolfing®
Instructor, Rolf Institute®
Erik Dalton's new Advanced
Myoskeletal Techniques book will revolutionize your approach
to treating complex pain and injury conditions. In my 25
years in the manual therapy field, Dalton's text stands out
as one of the most informative and well-written books I have
had the pleasure of reading. This colorfully illustrated
user-friendly text successfully blends original,
practice-building massage techniques that will enhance any
sports medicine, structural integration or medical massage
practice. If you can read only one pain management book,
this would be my recommendation...once started, you won’t be
able to put it down.
James Waslaski, Author &
International Pain Management Lecturer
"Advanced Myoskeletal
Techniques is a visual learner’s delight with over three
hundred vibrant 3-D anatomy illustrations, human dissection
graphics, and photos of Dalton performing each technique.
Structurally oriented pain management can be clumsy and time
consuming when performed in a typical massage setting with
client draped. Dalton demystifies structural massage
bodywork leaving the practitioner with a simple,
step-by-step formula for correcting head, neck, visceral,
and chronic back pain problems."
Aaron Mattes, MS, LMT, Author,
Active Isolated Stretching
"This Advanced Myoskeletal
book is a great boon of reading; you will enjoy an
encapsulated version of this distinguished practitioner’s
many years of study, practice, teaching, and reflection
about his own work."
Robert Calvert, founder, Massage
Magazine
"What a wonderful educational
book! I'll be recommending it to all my students. You make a
tremendous contribution to the massage therapy bodywork
community with your teaching and your books and videos. You
tackle extremely interesting and difficult subjects in
sharing your knowledge, not only of specific massage
bodywork techniques, but more importantly, giving an
understanding of how the body works. This enables the
student to do so much more than just mimicking strokes and
allows that next level of understanding that can actually
facilitate healing." I can not imagine any serious
bodyworker who would not greatly benefit from this book."

Riggs Certified Advanced Rolfer® and author
“Dr. Dalton's book on
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques has more useful information
on anatomy, assessment techniques, and muscle/ joint
biomechanics than most books I read in medical school and
orthopedic training. It is clear, concise and presented
systematically so massage therapists can apply the
information the same day in their bodywork practices.”
