Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques

Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques Muscle Activation Techniques MAT® is effective for EVERYONE from elite athletes to rehabilitation patients, and anyone in between; athletes NFL,NBA,NHL etc

As we age, due to various forms of stresses being placed on the body, the muscular system may become less efficient in its contractile abilities. The result of this diminished muscle activity may correlate with many of the physical complaints that we relate to aging. There are many modalities out there that deal specifically with injuries or the degenerative changes that occur with aging; however, up until recently, no one has specifically dealt with the negative changes that occur relative to our neuromuscular function. This is where Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) fits in. MAT recognizes that as we age, the accumulation of stresses and traumas to the body takes its toll on our muscle function. MAT recognizes that every injury may have a negative impact on our neuromuscular function and that over time, the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system becomes negatively altered. If this altered communication is not regularly addressed, then the cumulative effect may be a progressive weakness of the muscular system as a whole, resulting in an increase susceptibility to pain, injury and/or degenerative issues. The end result is a decreased ability for the muscles to handle the physical stresses that come with everyday activity, exercise and physical performance. MAT is a specific program designed to identify and address these altered communication pathways with the primary goal being to restore muscle contractile capabilities

MAT can be looked at as part of the exercise continuum. The most important component of MAT is that it provides a system of checks and balances. It enables a MAT practitioner to evaluate the integrity of the neuromuscular system whenever a force has been applied against it. MAT also allows trainers to evaluate various forms of force applications in order to determine if certain exercises exceed the threshold, thus resulting in muscle inhibition. In simplistic terms, MAT allows trainers and therapists to “check their work”. Therefore, MAT can act as an adjunct to all forms of therapy and exercise. It is a specific technique designed to improve muscle function. This improvement in muscle function can, in turn, provide an environment which can reduce the risk of injury while also speed up the body’s ability to recover from injury.

Eric Seifert, MATRx Practitioner based in Toronto, Ontario and owner of Core Muscle Activation, shared a client story that says everything about why results stay inconsistent for so many.

A dentist came in after trying everything. Countless treatments. Nothing lasted. The pain kept coming back. She was losing hope.

Assessment revealed the real limitation wasn’t her shoulder—it was dysfunction in her foot impacting the entire system.

One treatment. Address the ankle.
She stands up … and her shoulder moves freely.

For the first time in a decade—pain-free motion and strength.

This is the difference between chasing symptoms … and solving the problem.

Some clients aren’t just dealing with pain…

They’re being told what their future looks like.

“Manage it.”
“Live with it.”
“Surgery is next.”

That’s where this client was before working with Sheena Descombe.

She had been told a back brace and surgery were her next steps.

During her MAT session, she became emotional.

Not just because of how she felt physically —
but because something finally started to shift.

Today, she’s on a MATRx maintenance plan, beyond happy with her results, and radiates confidence.

Her visits don’t feel like appointments anymore — they feel like reunions.

This is what happens when someone moves from managing symptoms…

to finally understanding and addressing what’s limiting them.

MAT practitioners don’t just help people cope with where they are —

They help them change what they believe is possible.

If you’re working with clients who’ve been told to “just manage it”…

Some clients don’t just come in with pain…

They come in already adapting their entire life around it.

This woman arrived wearing a corset, unable to stand on her own and needing her husband’s help to walk due to low back pain.

That’s not a small limitation.
That’s a full shift in how someone lives day to day.

After working with Carlos Garcia Fernandez, everything changed in a single session.

Her right hip was treated — and within an hour, she stood up and walked without pain, in a normal pattern.

No assistance.
No limp.

Just a completely different state.

She couldn’t believe it.

And to this day, she still remembers that moment — and continues to refer others because of it.

This is what happens when you’re not just chasing symptoms…

You’re addressing what’s actually limiting the system.

MAT practitioners are built for these moments.

If you’re seeing clients who feel stuck, limited, or like they’ve run out of options…

When range of motion disappears, most people are told to work around it.

Modify.
Stretch more.
Be careful.

But for this client, it wasn’t just limitation — it was extreme pain.

She came to Julia Krengal with frozen shoulder, unable to wash her hair or fasten her bra without pain.

Session by session, her range of motion improved.

And within 3 months, she was able to use her arm completely — with no pain.

That kind of change doesn’t come from guessing.

It comes from understanding what’s actually limiting the body… and addressing it with precision.

This is where MAT practitioners operate.

Not just helping people cope —
but helping them regain what they thought they lost.

Working across both and Performance Systems, Kika Mela was already helping people at a high level.

But like many professionals, there were still moments where:

Progress didn’t hold.
Outcomes felt inconsistent.

And certain clients just didn’t respond the way they should.

That’s where MAT Athlete changed things.

Not by giving her more techniques — but by giving her a system to understand why.

A way to assess what’s actually limiting performance.

A way to make decisions with clarity instead of guesswork.

A way to create results that are more consistent, more repeatable, and easier to explain to clients.

This is the shift most professionals are looking for —
they just don’t have the framework yet.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting consistent outcomes…

You’re not missing effort.
You’re missing a system.

Not every client fits neatly into a protocol.

Some have already gone through care.
Pain has been managed.
But something still isn’t right.

This was one of Katherine Burdick’s most memorable MAT clients.

After a horseback riding accident, she was dealing with nerve pain from her neck to her fingertips and from her SI joint to her toes — relying on 3–4 painkillers a day just to tolerate it.

Within 5 MAT sessions, she was no longer taking painkillers.

With continued care, she is now pain-free with no nerve pain to speak of.

This is the gap MAT practitioners are stepping into.

Not just reducing pain — but helping people who are still searching for answers after everything else.

If you’re a clinician, trainer, or coach who sees cases like this …

And you know there’s something missing in how they’re being understood …

MAT was built for that.

Rob DiDonato’s story started at 13 — diagnosed with spondylosis.

Pain, tightness, limitations … and no real answers.

It held him back from becoming the athlete he knew he could be, until he found Muscle Activation Techniques.

For the first time, he understood why his body felt the way it did.

After his first session — he moved without pain or tightness.

That moment changed everything.

Now, with over a decade working in Miami, Rob runs DiDonato Sports Lab— focused on fitness, athlete training, and long-term health.

Using MATRx, he helps people create real change—not quick fixes.

Whether you’re a pro athlete, want to train like one, or just want to live pain-free ...

Rob is here to help you build a body that actually works.

Age wasn’t the limiting factor.

This 94-year-old client had gone from using a walker…
to regressing into a wheelchair after previous therapy.

That’s where a lot of people get stuck.

They’re told to accept it.
To adjust.
To manage.

But that wasn’t the end of the story.

After working with Gwen Spahn, he was back on his walker in just 3 sessions.

And over the following months, he progressed even further — walking up stairs again instead of relying on a stair-chair.

This is what happens when you don’t just work around limitations…

You start asking better questions about why they exist.

MAT practitioners are built for the cases where progress has stalled, regressed, or never fully made sense.

When your system works — your schedule proves it.

More booked sessions.
More repeat clients.
More people actively looking for what you do.

Not guessing. Not convincing. Not chasing.

Most practitioners aren’t struggling because they lack effort.

They’re struggling because what they offer is easy to replace with inconsistent results.

So demand never compounds.

That’s the gap.

MAT changes that.

It gives you a structured system to assess, make decisions, and deliver outcomes in a way the market can feel and understand.

You’re not just “doing sessions.”

You’re solving problems other practitioners can’t consistently solve.

And when that becomes clear — demand follows.

Your calendar fills differently.
Your clients stay longer.
Your work becomes something people seek out.

Not something you have to sell.

The question isn’t whether MAT works.

It’s whether you’re ready to build a practice people actively look for.

Here’s the reality most practitioners are feeling—but no one’s clearly saying:

You can get someone out of pain …
Improve their range of motion …
Even make them stronger …

And still—something’s missing.

Clients plateau.
Results don’t hold.
Performance feels inconsistent.

That gap?
That’s where the BIGGEST opportunity is.

Because while most practitioners stop at “better”…
Clients are still willing to pay for “fully solved.”

That’s also the revenue gap.

MAT exists to fill it— By giving you a system to understand why the body is still underperforming.

Not more exercises.
Not more techniques.

A systematic way to think—
So you can solve what others can’t.

And when you can do that…
You don’t just get better results.

You become the one they can’t replace.
