Get Better Outcomes, Faster
The Eclectic Approach to the Upper and Lower Quarter will teach you easy assessments and even easier treatments for most common issues you see in your clinic everyday. Study at your own pace. Apply what you learn as you learn it. By the end you’ll have 13 CEUs and patients who can’t wait to tell their friends and family about you.
Before I was even half way through this course I started seeing the clinical patterns in patients where I previously missed them. My dry needling training cost literally 15 times more than this course, but I use the Eclectic Approach techniques far more often and my patients love them. In terms of clinical application per dollar spent, this course can’t be matched!

Minutiae Not Included
Most manual therapy courses go something like this.
You travel to a course and spend the next 2-5 days listening to lectures and practicing techniques.
By the end of it you have 100 new techniques, 60 types of assessments, and a whole workbook of theory to try to wrap your head around.
And that’s just Level 1 from this guru.
There are, of course, more gurus, with more levels, and more courses, all diving deeper into the minutiae of their approach with hyper-specific assessments and hyper-specific treatments.
All of this minutiae and specificity are very effective at selling more expensive courses, but how much does it really help you get better outcomes, faster for your patients?
Ideally you could take all of the courses, read all of the research, and create your own system built around the best elements from each approach.
You would discard all of the needless complexity and distill it into simple assessments that uncover simple patterns that respond to even simpler treatments.
Luckily, you don’t have to spend all of the money and do all of that work, because I’ve done it for you.
I’ve spent my entire career taking courses from the gurus, studying their approaches, practicing, learning the minutiae, reading the research, and testing what works with my patients.
The result is The Eclectic Approach to the Upper and Lower Quarter. The course is 28 modules (and 13 CEUs!) of the best theory, movements screens, assessments, treatments, and self care recommendations for the most common issues you see in your clinic everyday.

He later became credentialed in Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine in 2000.

What are other clinicians saying about MMT?
Basically, I felt like before the course, I had tried to perform your system and techniques but usually wasn’t too successful because I didn’t fully understand the minor details (hand placements, sets/reps, etc). I feel like now this week I have been able to “fully unleash” the system if that makes sense. I have had about 5 major breakthroughs this week in either new patients or existing ones that I was having trouble week in 2.5 days. I just feel much more confident with it.
Ryan Ruben, DPT, PT, MS
Thanks so much Dr. E! Really enjoyed and just finished the theory and makes a lot of sense to me. I'm excited to treat people in a more painless approach as possible. That was always my desire and now it's more clear that it will be as effective and a bonus to put less stress on me as a practitioner. It felt so much easier for a long time to explain you are 'breaking up scar tissue' and 'releasing muscles'
Tyron Walters, DC
This seminar opened my eyes to the world of modern pain science. Over the last decade we’ve come to realize that pain is simply not the result of muscle weakness or even tissue damage. Gone are the days of thinking we are releasing “adhesions” or breaking up “scar-tissue”. It’s much more complicated than that.
Michael Mash, DPT, CSCS, FMS
..thanks for being so willing to share your knowledge and experience. I have greatly benefitted from your blog and channel! I was telling my wife just the other day that I'm more excited about my practice and getting better outcomes than I have in 20 years.
