Created by Erik Dalton, the Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques is a tool to help relieve neck and back pain. 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. Structural integration and osteopathy both rely heavily on the manipulation of the muscles, fascia, and skeletal system with the goal of promoting general musculoskeletal health. The idea behind structural integration is that if someone’s body can be aligned properly, his or her health problems can be dramatically reduced, because the body will work as a whole.
