Speaking of really good stuff - check out the Erik Dalton Seminar Series.  Several of our AMMA members have attended Erik's seminars and speak very highly of the content and the valuable skill sets that they learned from Erik.

"Dalton's muscle energy and myofascial mobilization techniques offer the pain-management, sports therapist and structural integrator "Certified Myoskeletal Therapist” credentials that set them apart in the eyes of clients and referral sources."

Erik's seminars and home study courses are approved for continuing education credit by the AMMA.
