Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a bodywork technique using a systematic approach to identify and treat muscular imbalances that relate to injury and pain. The focus of the evaluation procedure is based upon the understanding that  the body will protect itself when it recognizes instability. Therefore muscles will tighten up as a protective measure when instability is recognized. MAT addresses the component of muscle weakness as a cause for limitations in joint range of motion. When a muscle is inhibited and/or has lost proprioceptive input, it does not contract efficiently, and the joint  that it  supports  becomes unstable. MAT is designed to identify and correct the positions of instability. When MAT is performed, the natural protective mechanisms are diminished and normal joint motion occurs. The goal is to not only increase joint motion, but to also increase stability through that range of motion (Mobility and Stability).

The undersigned understands and agrees that during the visit he/she is not receiving physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, or medical treatment. MAT cannot be used to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. Please consult your physician before beginning any workout or treatment program.

Any questions about the procedures used during MAT sessions are encouraged.  If  you  have any concerns or questions,  please ask for further explanations.
