"MAT CAN BE THE ANSWER TO CHRONIC PAINS AND DISCOMFORT"

  • HOW IS MAT™ DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PHYSICAL THERAPIES I’VE TRIED?

Did you know that muscle tightness is not the direct cause of pain, but simply a symptom? While many physical therapies attempt to alleviate pain by relaxing muscles through stretching and massage, MAT™ views muscle tightness as protection and preferred as a solution to weakness. By correcting underlying weaknesses, MAT™ is able to decrease pain and restore balance and stability to the body.

Did you know that MAT™ offers a wide range of benefits? Whether you are recovering from surgery, experiencing repetitive stress injuries, or having to deal with ongoing pain and body aches, MAT™ can place you on the path to wellness by:

 

  • Restoring joint alignment and function

  • Balancing the neuromuscular system

  • Improve coordination, flexibility, and mobility

  • Alleviating pain and discomfort

  • Lowering the risk of injury

  • HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM MAT™?

  • CAN MAT™ HELP ALLEVIATE SYMPTOMS RELATED TO CHRONIC ILLNESS?

Did you know that when the muscular system is working optimally, the body functions better as a whole? Clients of MAT™ have claimed that it has helped them with symptoms relating to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, stroke, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis (MS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and others.

How is Muscle Activation Techniques Different?

Over the past 20 years, we always get asked by various types of Licensed Professionals and clients how Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is different than any other modalities including kinesiology, physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, podiatry, etc. The overall principle in which MAT operates from is "Muscle Tightness is a result of Muscle Weakness". And because we view tightness (and the resultant pain) in this manner, we are unique. All of our assessments, tests, and treatments aim to rectify neurological weakness that causes muscle weaknesses. For decades MAT has been used by many Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, and Kinesiologists over the years with resounding success... Because MAT IS NOT competition to any modality... MAT IS THE PERFECT ADJUNCT to any modality (that works with the muscle system). *Footage from the MAT archives.
