MAT, or Muscle Activation Therapy, is a dynamic approach to addressing muscular imbalances that can reduce or eliminate pain and fatigue, and speed muscle recovery. It is a noninvasive method for improving everyday activities for all age groups and body types. MAT allows the body to achieve optimal levels of function, without further discomfort or injury, by increasing the body’s range of motion, restoring muscular alignment, and eliminating compensation patterns. It is a checks-and-balances system designed to identify and address the causes of discomfort and range of motion limitations. MAT helps with growing pains, slowing down and even reversing the aging process, feeling a positive impact on arthritis and aging-related losses in physical performance, healing the body faster and properly after surgery, and acting as a precursor to exercise and therapy to help prepare the body.
