I have taken a few Arthrokinetic Therapy courses and I would highly recommend them. Mike has carefully constructed interesting, engaging, and quickly applicable course material. These courses combine a focused review with learning NEW and fun techniques! The relaxed instruction allows you to feel comfortable, ask questions and then apply them to your practice.

I personally will be getting a lot of use out of my copy as I strive to integrate all that I was trained in.

I was in a major ski accident in February 2019, where I ended up breaking nine bones including my femur and my humerus. As an RMT, I went away for a long weekend away and ended up off of work for four months without any financial coverage for the lost income during this period. I needed to recover and get back to work as quickly as possible and therefore, Mike was the first person I called to help get me back to work. Needless to say, I had some pretty serious mobility issues following the accident. Once the fracture in my arm had healed I had a frozen shoulder and following hip surgery, spent two months in a wheelchair. I experienced the effectiveness of end-range loading firsthand. I was amazed after each treatment that I received from Mike; I had significant gains in range of motion and was able to fully recover from the frozen shoulder. Mike was able to get me back to work in four months, which I believe would have been significantly longer having I not received such productive rehab. After experiencing these techniques, I decided to start taking Mike’s courses and passing this work on to my patients and colleagues. I have had the opportunity to work closely with Mike ever since. To be in Mike’s orbit, you can feel the passion that he has for his work and you will be a better therapist just by absorbing a fraction of the information he has to share.

Massage therapists have certain treatment options at their disposal. Certainly, Western-based 'Swedish' massage strokes are at the center of these options. But other options that can increase the effectiveness of their treatment are also available. One of these treatment options is joint play. However, joint play is greatly underutilized. This is unfortunate because it is a powerful adjunctive technique that can be such an effective addition to our clients' treatment plans.

Of Massage Therapy Course, anything that has the power to do good also has the power to do harm, if not performed and applied correctly. This is why Mike Dixon's book Joint Play the Right Way: Axial Skeleton is so valuable. In this book, Mike covers the topic of joint play of the axial skeleton in an organized manner that is simple, yet thorough. Each page addresses a specific mobilization that is demonstrated with a clear photo and described completely, along with 'helpful suggestions' for the most effective utilization by the therapist. In addition, the kinesiology of each region is given, the common pathologies of the region are addressed, and indications and contraindication are discussed so that the therapist has a true understanding of the safe and effective application of the technique. Rounding this out, Mike has included Muscle Energy Technique (MET), stretching, and remedial exercises to create a multidimensional treatment approach for the therapist.

Mike has utilized his many years in private practice as well as his many years of teaching experience to craft this book, Joint Play the Right Way: Axial Skeleton, as well as his first book, the companionJoint Play the Right Way: For the Peripheral Skeleton, to serve as in-class manuals or as reference Massage Therapy Textbooks. So, whether you are a student learning joint play for the first time, an instructor who needs the perfect manuals to use in the classroom to help your students accurately learn and master joint play, or a practicing massage therapist who needs an excellent refresher reference text that is quick and easy to use, I strongly recommend these books to you. Both of them are invaluable books that will not sit on your bookshelf but will be used every day in your study and practice.
