Valid for two MAT sessions. Only available to NEW CLIENTS. Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), is a manual therapy that takes a deep, comprehensive look into muscles and how they are- or are not- contracting appropriately to move your body. MAT is all about restoring sensitivity to muscles to receive better input from the brain to contract. The best way to think about this neuromuscular relationship is to understand that it is like the brain is having a cell phone conversation with every single muscle of the body. Some muscles are highly sensitive and have great cell reception to receive a call from the brain. Other muscles, due to stress, trauma, and/or overuse, lose that sensitive cell phone reception and therefore, the conversation between them and the brain becomes jumbled or like a dropped phone call. MAT is a systematic way to evaluate every muscle to see which muscles have great cell phone reception, and which ones are struggling with the phone call. By restoring sensitivity to your muscles and their ability to receive input from the brain, people experience recovery from chronic pain, acute injury and are equipped with new tools to help maintain their joint and muscle health. Typical clients are people who: - Are Prepping or Recovering from Surgery: - Have Chronic Pain like, but not limited to, Plantar Fasciitis, Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Patellar Tracking Syndrome, Neck Pain, Golfer/Tennis Elbow, Shoulder Pain - Are recovering from an acute injury like whiplash, torn ligaments, sprained ankles, shoulder dislocations - Are training for a sport or event and want to prevent the onset of an overuse or acute injury.
