The Muscle Activation Techniques Approach

Written by Susie Jelinek | Aug 14, 2024 4:53:46 PM

Modalities across the health and wellness industry claim to “activate muscles.” The techniques within our process can definitively assess if a muscle is activated.

 

Step 1: Identify Weakness

MAT Practitioners are able to assess an individual client’s neuromuscular function by performing a series of mobility tests and then correlating the limitations in range of motion (ROM) with muscle tests that can identify which specific muscles are not contracting efficiently.

 

Step 2: Activate Muscles

Once a muscle weakness is identified, MAT Practitioners are trained to precisely “Activate” each muscle weakness through either isometric contractions or specific force application to the origin and insertion points of the affected muscle.

Step 3: Restore Function

Clients report that their original symptoms greatly decrease after MAT sessions because the Practitioner worked to re-establish and strengthen the connections between the nervous system and the muscular system.

 

Step 4: Live Life

Imagine: Picking up your grandkids with ease, throwing a football with your son without difficulty, or walking downstairs to say Good Morning to a loved one without pain. MAT can improve your quality of life by giving you the freedom and joy in getting you back to doing what you love!

 

Life is Going To Beat You Up & You'll Need Someone To Put You Back Together

MAT Practitioners have a deep understanding on how isolated muscle function can contribute to the total body integrated system. MAT looks at the integrated system by breaking it down into its isolated parts. Through assessing the function of each individual muscle and its relationship to total body function, MAT is able to address those isolated weaknesses in order to improve total body muscle performance.
