Course Overview
This introduction consists of a brief history of MMT, key guidelines and fundamentals of MMT, which is important for beginners of MMT.
This video collection not only includes manual muscle testing, but also orthopedic muscle resistive testing and assessment of muscle firing sequences, all of which help to differentiate specific injuries and detect imbalances that can be contributing to the injury.

The acupuncture aspect of this video library discusses and motor point, adjacent and distal point protocols that significantly change the muscles strength, proprioception, range of motion, muscle firing sequences and pain.

The viewer will see many examples of something that I call "Acupuncture as an Assessment". This assessment protocol tests for muscles that are weak, with or without discomfort, that can be changed by needling one key point. This assessment protocol is a test, needle, test sequence that helps the practitioner determine key acupuncture point(s) to use during treatment.

There are short clips of videos found in Course 2: The Neck, Shoulder and UE and Course 3: The Low Back, Hip and LE.

Matt Callison has over 33+ years of experience combining MMT and acupuncture.
