muscle activation techniques (MAT®)

"I recommend highly this studio for anyone seeking personalized, caring and professional treatment for a problem or just wanting to get into better shape." -Jim R.

MAT® is a biomechanically based evaluation and treatment system that tests for muscular imbalances. The evaluation process consists of a series of range of motion examinations that help determine whether the muscles surrounding a joint have proper neurological input. MAT® views muscle tightness as secondary to muscle weakness. If the body senses instability in a joint, the central nervous system will attempt to stabilize a joint by sending a signal to the muscles that causes them to tighten. Unlike most other therapies, MAT® does not “chase after pain.” Instead, MAT® increases stability, muscular function, and joint congruency.

MAT® treatments range from $120-$130
