What is the goal of MAT?

The goal of MAT is to increase range of motion, improve the function of your muscular system (whether for sports or daily activities), and prevent injury through improved muscle contractility (keeping joints stable through all ranges of motion). My goal is to help you do the things you love, for as long as you want, without being limited by pain or tightness in your body.

Unlike ART, deep tissue massage, and some chiropractic, MAT is not painful. While some spots will be tender due to inflammation, you should not expect to be in pain during a session.

Marlene, avid walker

"I figured my hip and leg pain was symptomatic of my age and that I'd be heading to replacement surgery. I felt much better after the first time I walked out of Delaney's office. I am thrilled to say I am on the road to pain-free mobility...the improvement is mind-boggling.

MAT has been transformational for my golf game and my life. I've not been able to play this much golf pain free since my early 20s.
