My Alignment Time, (MAT) is a specialized product designed for the purpose of realigning the body’s many systems. It is also an educational tool promoting the practice of mindfulness which is an important tool to promote and maintain change. MAT provides a flat surface for the person to lay on, with supports which are strategically placed along the limbs guiding the person in a set position. It is extendable, allowing it to be used by a number of body lengths and chest widths.
MAT is unique as it supports the physical body while placing it into a specific position which promotes proper alignment. MAT is easy to assemble, and gives you the independence to become your own personal trainer as you are the one who understands best the tensions hiding within your many systems.
"Alignment refers to how the head, shoulders, spine, hips, knees and ankles relate and line up with each other. Proper alignment of the body puts less stress on the spine and helps you have good posture."
Alignment work requires all of the body’s systems to communicate with each other. The MAT process allows you to learn about yourself, by yourself, for yourself. MAT is not designed to be a stand alone program, instead complementing other work you will be doing towards your overall wellbeing.

Anyone can do alignment as long as they can get on and off the MAT and safely lie flat. MAT is easy to assemble. It is adjustable, which means a number of people can share the same one. The design caters for different heights and shoulder widths. MAT gives you the independence to become your own personal trainer as you are the one who understands best the tensions hiding within your many systems. Health and sports professionals understand the importance of body alignment for maximum/optimum performance, and that teaching the body proper alignment takes time. The body adjusts itself on a daily basis to the unique stresses it is experiencing, which means realigning and retraining it is an ongoing process.
