MUSCLE ACTIVATION TECHNIQUES (MAT)

​

A new exercise modality called Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is proving beneficial to athletes that want to improve performance and people wanting to live with more flexibility, increased strength and without pain.

​

The key attribute that separates MAT from other exercise and therapeutic modalities is how it targets muscles to improve their ability to function (contract). Part of the MAT process specifically corrects the most important area of muscle function generally assumed to be working correctly by other practitioners (physical therapy, Pilates, yoga, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, chiropractors, etc.). MAT testing allows the practitioner to isolate an individual muscle and determine if that muscle is communicating properly with the brain. Other modalities cannot do this critical assessment.
