Practitioner Frequently Asked Questions
What is Matrix Repatterning?
Matrix Repatterning is a gentle manual therapy that releases restrictions at the molecular level. Developed over the past 15 years by Dr. George Roth, Matrix Repatterning uses a form of muscle testing to identify lesions in the tensegrity matrix of the body, and then corrects them using light manual pressure.
Dr. Roth has written a Matrix Repatterning workbook for the layman. It explains in detail how Matrix Repatterning works and gives hundreds of examples of self-treatment techniques. The book is called The Matrix Repatterning Program for Pain Relief. (Published in 2005 by New Harbinger) and is available at Amazon.com and other major book sellers. Ordering Information
