Muscle Activation Techniques

 

What is Muscle Activation Techniques?

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) stands apart from other therapies because it specifically targets the contractile function of the muscles. Unlike traditional approaches, MAT uses a comparative assessment from side to side to identify asymmetries and imbalances within the body. These differences help create a "map" that guides the practitioner in evaluating each muscle's ability to contract effectively. Stress, trauma, overuse, and inflammation can all impact a muscle’s contractile capacity. Through a series of precise muscle tests, palpations, isometric holds, and retests, MAT will work to "recharge" your muscles, restoring their function and helping your body move in a more mechanically efficient way.
