What is MAT?
In recent years, a revolutionary new process has evolved for correcting muscular imbalances in the body. It has dramatically improved the functional capabilities in all age groups, along with elevating sports performance and career longevity in competitive athletes. This process is a biomechanically based therapy called Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)™. MAT is designed to correct body alignment in order to prepare the body for what you are asking it to do. No matter what type of activity or sport the MAT procedure addresses the weak links; thereby allowing the body to function most efficiently while minimizing pain. This innovative treatment, developed over a 15 year period by Greg Roskopf, the biomechanics consultant for the Denver Broncos, Utah Jazz, and Denver Nuggets, is now available to you!
Why is MAT Different?
MAT process looks at muscle weakness, rather than muscle tightness as the cause of limitations in range of motion. When the body recognizes instability (muscle weakness) it is designed to protect itself by sending messages to surrounding muscles to tighten up in an attempt to support and protect the joint. By treating the weakness instead of the tightness, the root of the problem is addressed and correct neurological functioning and proper range of motion can be restored.
