Dalton Myoskeletal Staff

Dalton Myoskeletal adapted this article from the work of Erik Dalton, PhD, a recognized pioneer in the bodywork community. He founded Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT)—a bodywork system developed from his extensive training in Ida Rolf’s Structural Integration, osteopathy, and neurology. Erik Dalton passed away on January 11, 2025, but his work continues through online courses and workshops taught by MAT educators.
