"Dear MAT Community,

I wish to provide an update regarding the recent launch of our latest MAT content, MAT Athlete. For several years, my primary objective has been to establish a structured framework for the evaluation and treatment of athletes. This framework is designed to enable MAT practitioners working with athletes to implement a specific methodology that is both time-efficient and replicable. By doing so, we aim to ensure that every athlete receiving MAT Athlete treatment is assessed consistently, regardless of the location of the MAT Athlete practitioner.

Drawing from my extensive experience in the professional sports industry over the past three decades, it is evident that working in an athletic environment presents unique challenges compared to a typical clinical setting. The neuromuscular integrity of athletes is notably higher, and the treatment must be tailored to accommodate their demanding schedules. Professional athletes dedicate a significant portion of their time to practices, training sessions, and meetings. Consequently, it is imperative that the treatment procedures are quick and efficient.

In this context, MAT plays a pivotal role in maintaining athletes at their peak neuromuscular performance, enabling them to excel in their respective sports. MAT optimally prepares an athlete's body for their chosen discipline, addressing the negative impacts resulting from the physical stresses of intensive training and sports participation. When it comes to identifying and rectifying biomechanical imbalances causing pain or injury, the MAT process can sometimes be time-consuming. As you are aware, MAT's uniqueness lies in its ability to uncover the root causes of pain or injury. MAT Athlete expedites this process, allowing for quicker and more efficient assessment and intervention.

MAT Athlete equips all practitioners working with athletes with a systematic approach to evaluate and address neuromuscular integrity promptly. Whether it's before an athletic event, post-competition, or after a workout, our practitioners will receive comprehensive training in a structured format. This training empowers them to pinpoint areas of muscular dysfunction requiring immediate attention and to address these neuromuscular issues quickly and efficiently.

Our MAT Athlete content is indispensable for anyone employing MAT techniques with athletes!

Launching MATRx Foot

Ever since Greg has studied body mechanics, he has said, “Given that the foot is the first thing that hits the ground, the rest of the body has to react to what the foot does. There will always be an emphasis on the importance of foot mechanics because of its relationship with total body function. The integrated system is only as good as the function of its isolated parts!” 

There are 50 muscles that attach from the knee down. All these muscles must be able to contract efficiently in order for the muscles to support the foot, the ankle, and the knee joints. This upcoming course opportunity will teach the Rx Principles and the protocols for the most effective neuromuscular treatment to optimize foot function.   

Online course launching soon with practical workshop March 1-3, 2024. Registration will be $3,000.

Eligibility requirements: Mastery Foot Function Certified.
