What is MAT™?

A revolutionary approach to the assessment and correction of muscular

system imbalances, joint instability and correction of muscular imbalances,

and limitations in range of motion within the human body.

 

A non-invasive technique, designed to balance the muscular

system of people of all ages.

 

A unique systematic format used to ‘jumpstart” the muscles in order

for them to function with maximum efficiency.

 

 

MAT™ does not force change on the body but instead works with it to make improvements, causing changes in motion via improvements in muscle contraction.  Each client is treated as an individual with their own muscular weaknesses and compensation patterns. Therefore, no treatment session is ever the same. MAT™ does not diagnose or treat pathology, but works to improve a muscle’s contractile capabilities and the resulting range of motion and strength of that muscle/limb. By improving these aspects, a person will see an increased ability for exercise and physical performance. MAT™ differentiates itself from other techniques because it never attempts to directly lengthen or change the muscle by  heating, kneading, or foam rolling. MAT™ is not trying to "relax" muscle, but instead tries to "activate" the muscle, so that your body is better prepared to handle the forces that come from exercise and every day movements.
