Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy®


SDTT® is a vigorous manual therapy that addresses deep muscles without the use of high pressure.

What is the aim of SDTT®?

Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® aims to restore your body back to optimal alignment.

Your body has made layers of adjustments and accommodations over time due to various postures, activities, injuries, and emotional states you have experienced during your lifetime. SDTT® works through these adjustments and compensations in an efficient, effective manner.

Assessment and treatment are seamlessly integrated in SDTT®. This means that I am reacting to the cues your body provides during the manual therapy, and making adjustments to my actions as I work.

Why does SDTT® work?

Contracted muscles take up a lot of energy!

By returning your body to optimal alignment, you are returned to a state of healthy efficiency. Even internal organs are given their proper space to function optimally!

With your body is back in alignment, it is able to effectively continue its role in maintaining your state of physical and mental well being.

Is SDTT® focused entirely on muscles?

No. In addition to muscles, SDTT® addresses joints, fascia, ligaments, tendons, nerves, circulation, even your internal organs (indirectly).

In fact, one of the main benefits of the SDTT® approach is how it addresses your complaint within the context of your whole body. I focus on the source of your problem, and thus avoid simply “chasing the problem around”.

Have you received SDTT® treatment yourself?

Absolutely. In fact, SDTT® has had a profound impact on me, both physically and professionally.

In fact, I have even written an article on this website about it! Check out My First Experience with Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® to learn more.

Who developed SDTT®?

Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® or “SDTT®” was developed by Armand Ayaltin DNM, RMT, RHP.

Armand graduated from Northern College of Massage Therapy in the UK in 1976. SDTT® was born in 1980 of his observations, and he has since spent decades further developing this new and innovative form of therapy.

I have completed the Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced-level courses in Armand Ayaltin’s Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® mentorship program.
