Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)

What is MAT?

  • A dynamic approach to treating muscular imbalances, that will reduce or eliminate pain and fatigue, and speed muscle recovery.
  • A non-invasive methodology for improving everyday activities for all ages groups and body types.
  • Allows the body to achieve optimal levels of function, without pain or injury by increasing the body's range of motion, restoring muscular alignment, and eliminating compensation patterns.
  • A checks-and-blanaces system designed to identify and treat the causes of chronic pain and injury.

Restore Your Body's Pain-Free Movement & Performance

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) eliminates the muscle and joint pain that so many of us experience doing the sports and activities we enjoy. Combining a unique muscle therapy and range of motion analysis, MAT restores your body's alignment, pain-0free movement and performance levels. This innovative treatment developed over a 15 year period by Greg Roskopf, Masters in Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics Consultant for various professional sports teams including Denver Broncos, Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets, is now available to you.

MAT attacks pain at its roots: inhibited muscles cause your body to compensate and become misaligned, resulting in pain or injury. Continuing an exercise program with inhibited muscles can compound your body's compensation patterns, thus exacerbating the problem. By re-activating your muscles to function properly with MAT, your body alignment is restored. Associate pain and motion limitations are eliminated, so you are ready to enjoy the exercise and activities you used to do. MAT eliminates the causes of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Whether you are an athlete, youth playing sports, baby boomer or senior, MAT restores your pain-free/movement and performance levels. Let MAT get you back in the game the way you were meant to be - pain free.

How Can MAT Help You?

Do you want to do the things you used to do, pain-free? MAT's unique drug-free therapy quickly restores pain-free movement, so you can enjoy all of your activities. MAT is the solution for your entire family. Many clients have improved so quickly, they have been able to avoid pending surgery.

Want to perform to your maximum potential? If you want more range of motion to improve your swing or simply enjoy daily activities, MAT can either enhance your current physical therapy methods or be used as a stand-alone rehabilitation program. Don't accept the "no pain, no gain" myth. MAT will help you eliminate the pain and limitations associated with aging by reversing the degeneration process. With MAT, everyday people are treated like million-dollar athletes.

How is MAT different from other methods and rehabilitation techniques? MAT's unique therapy addresses the cause of your discomfort, not just the symptoms. Results are quick and long lasting. Normal stretching or massage techniques focus on symptoms to loosen muscle tissue, but too often, those results are only temporary. MAT restores body alignment and activates inhibited muscles that are causing your pain. Experience MAT's lasting results and live your life pain-free.
