Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a non-invasive, scientifically proven modality with its roots based in biomechanics and neuroscience. MAT can benefit anybody….any age and any activity level.
MAT’s approach is focused on solving issues versus symptoms. MAT’s goal is to restore proper muscle function and body balance. MAT identifies and corrects the root of the problem, as opposed to the effect. MAT sorts out what muscles may not be functioning correctly and stimulates those muscles through specific palpation techniques and isometric exercises.
Correcting muscle imbalances retrains the body to function as it was designed to. It creates the ability for the muscles to stabilize the joints and reduce the joint stresses that can lead to arthritic conditions and discomfort. The more balanced a body becomes, the more efficient it becomes. This means more stability and mobility, leading to a decreased risk of injuries and therefore ultimately allowing a person to have a longer active lifestyle, enjoying their activities in a pain free environment.
MAT has been used and endorsed by the NFL, NBA, NHL, Olympic, PGA and LPGA athletes.
Individuals of all ages and activity levels can benefit from MAT:
-
Appraisal of muscular imbalances through range of motion testing
-
Treatment of inhibited muscles using palpation and isometric exercise
-
Prescriptive exercises for self management
