What is Muscle Activation Technique (MAT)?
MAT is manual therapy to correct muscular imbalances. This technique aims to increase the functional abilities of people of all ages while eliminating pain. High-level athletes, as well as the elderly, may achieve significant results using MAT.
What makes MAT special?
While most therapies focus on muscle tension or pain, MAT goes to the very root of the pain or injury by seeking the cause: muscular weakness. MAT views tense muscles as a way for the body to protect itself. When a muscle is weak, it may create tension in other muscles in order to stabilize the joint.
