Stretching Didn't Fix It.
Cracking Didn't Hold.

Myoskeletal Alignment Technique is a hands-on system developed by Erik Dalton. It combines postural assessment, deep tissue techniques, joint mobilization, and guided movement to improve the relationships between muscles, joints, and the nervous system—not simply quiet one painful spot.

Chiropractic care commonly centers on joint manipulation. Myoskeletal Alignment works more gradually through soft tissue, joint positioning, and movement patterns; there is no automatic high-velocity adjustment, and the session follows what your body shows during assessment.

A relaxation massage typically follows a general sequence and focuses on temporary tension relief. Here, each session begins with how you stand and move, then applies targeted manual work to the specific compensation pattern contributing to your symptoms.

The work can feel intense in restricted tissue, but it should remain productive and manageable—not something you have to endure. John checks pressure and response throughout, adjusting the technique so your nervous system can accept the change rather than guard against it.

That depends on how long the pattern has been present, your activity, and what reinforces it between visits. Many people notice a meaningful change early, while durable improvement usually comes from a short series paired with simple movement work at home.

Wear flexible athletic clothing that lets you move comfortably, such as shorts, leggings, or a T-shirt. Because assessment is movement-based and some techniques are performed clothed, freedom of movement matters more than dressing down.

Yes. John works with recreational and competitive athletes who need to recover, restore range, and return to training without repeating the same compensation. The work is equally appropriate for active adults who simply want stairs, work, or daily movement to feel better.
