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.

Most physical therapists believe they're already "activating muscles."

But what most call "activation" is simply warming up muscles through movement, not restoring their ability to contract when the nervous system has shut them down.

This is why some patients never hold their progress.

The nervous system, not the exercise plan, is the limiting factor.

MAT gives practitioners the ability to treat their clients as individuals. Taking note of previous health history and current-day stressors, practitioners are able to assess their client's neuromuscular systems in detail to help find the root cause of their pain.

In the world of muscle physiology, it’s revealed that when a muscle can’t contract efficiently, it can’t effectively shorten.

Neurologically, this translates to a muscle’s inhibited state, with its shortened position representing its weakest point. This weakness becomes a stronghold, protecting the body from venturing into the unknown, perpetuating tightness and discomfort.

However, MAT transforms this narrative.

MAT provides the keys to unlocking proprietary range of motion exams.

These exams become your guiding light, leading you to the very muscles that are struggling to function optimally. As you restore their vitality, your client will experience a profound shift—increased mobility becomes their reality!

Happy New Year from Greg Roskopf and the MAT Education Team!

Muscle tightness isn’t merely a symptom to be alleviated; it’s a signal pointing to a deeper issue—muscle inhibition. Unlike conventional approaches, like stretching, deep tissue massage, and foam rolling, that address tightness on the surface, MAT takes a groundbreaking path.

It recognizes that tight muscles are, in fact, guarding against inhibited muscles’ inability to contract effectively.

This unique insight reshapes the way we understand and address tightness, allowing MAT practitioners to target the root cause, restore muscular function, and deliver lasting relief to their clients, setting it apart from traditional health and wellness approaches.

MAT training is all about deliberate practice. As practitioners work with each other, they learn how subtle changes in joint position and force direction influence stability. This is where real practitioner growth happens.

Our Approach To Treating Neuromuscular Dysfunction Starts with identifying the muscles that are not contracting efficiently and then performing precise palpations to the origin and insertion points of the affected muscles.

M-A-T works to re-establish and strengthen the connection between the nervous system and the muscular system.

While we do not directly treat pain, we understand that by improving muscle function, we can reduce pain, and that is a goal of MAT.
