What is MAT?
WHY CHOOSE MAT?
Our methods are rooted in science, anatomy, and client outcomes. As practitioners of methods designed to relieve pain and improve mobility, we all share the same goal. We aim to reduce our clients’ discomfort and risk of injury so that they can move more comfortably and actively. As clients experiencing pain and restricted movement, we want a solution that works. We don’t want a quick fix with temporary relief.
The MAT method helps the muscles hold the bones in alignment which improves mobility and helps to address the cause of the discomfort. MAT is the only method that improves muscle contractile efficiency.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our 77 range of motion exams and 214 muscle tests help practitioners identify which muscles are not “firing” (receiving and/or acting on the brain’s signal). Once the cause for the discomfort and impaired mobility is identified, practitioners begin a series of muscle tests in an established process and work to “reactivate” the affected muscles.
Other methods attempt to relax the muscle to lengthen or change it by stretching, heating, kneading, or foam rolling. In contrast, MAT activates your muscle so that it will become better prepared to handle the force applied to it through everyday movements and exercise.
