What is matrix repatterning therapy?
Matrix Repatterning Therapy (MRT) is a new way of understanding, objectively assessing and gently restoring balance within the entire body. It is a clinically-proven form of manual therapy based on sound scientific principles, utilized around the world by many health-care professionals. MRT restores structural balance, eliminates pain and improves overall health by resolving the problem at the source – literally at the cellular and molecular levels.
The foundation of MRT is based on the understanding that muscles, connective tissue, and bone are part of a continuous closed kinetic chain, and that many of the mechanical properties of the body, expressed as structural disorders, are linked to the electromechanical properties of the body through the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix.
Dr. George Roth, the creator of Matrix Repatterning Therapy, explains in further detail how MRT works.
How Does mrt work?
The application of gentle pressure at sites of tissue injury, along with electromagnetic stimulation, appears to induce a form of piezoelectric current, which normalizes the electrical properties of tissue at the molecular level within the affected tissues. This process has been shown to normalize anatomical structure, release fascial tension, improve fascial mobility and muscle tone, and restore joint mobility.
What Can I Expect from Matrix Repatterning Sessions?
The examination process usually involves a detailed assessment of posture, ranges of motion, neurological signs, joint stability and other tests, when applicable. Your practitioner will determine the location of the primary restrictions, in order to formulate a treatment plan. Treatment is very gentle, since the cells retain the ‘memory’ of the normal structure, and only require precise coaxing in order to be repatterned. A series of treatments can release structural imbalances that have developed and been compensated for, over a lifetime, until the body has been restored to optimal function.
Since long-term imbalances are often being corrected, the body may respond for a period of several days after each treatment. The most common response is a reduction of symptoms, however a temporary aggravation of symptoms may also occur (see: “The Message of Pain” in our Articles & Research)

Is MRT for me?
Do you suffer from pain that never seems to improve, or just seems to move around your body, regardless of what treatments you try? The problem with conventional pain treatments is that the pain itself is not the real problem.
The key to lasting pain relief is discovering where your pain is actually coming from and what is wrong.
Symptoms such as pain are often the result of secondary or compensatory mechanical stresses created within the body in response to a primary site of tissue injury. Typically after a short period following injury, the original pain at the local site of injury will subside, either due to the body’s natural way of modulating pain or from external treatments such as medications, chiropractic, or therapy. Unfortunately, conventional treatment methods are unable to address the deeper injury that occurs at the molecular level. This deep injury often results in a source of restriction that then affects the overall mobility of the connective tissue throughout the body, thus creating abnormal tension patterns and strain on structures away from the primary injury site which then leads to irritation, inflammation, and pain.
When we seek treatment now for this secondary pain, we may experience temporary relief, but then a short time period later, the pain returns, or we begin experiencing pain in another seemingly unrelated area of the body. So, we receive treatment for this pain, only to find the relief is short lived once again. This is why Matrix Repatterning Therapy incorporates objective and reproducible methods, based on the scientific foundation of structural pathophysiology. Each practitioner seeks out and addresses the primary source of the structural imbalance and dysfunction at the cellular level, in an efficient and effective manner. Treatment is gentle and painless, and results in global biomechanical reorganization, encouraging the body towards normal, pain-free function.
