Muscle Activation Techniques assessment

What Is Muscle Activation Techniques™?

Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT) is a systematic process used to assess and improve a muscle’s ability to contract efficiently.

MAT identifies muscles that are not functioning optimally and uses specific assessment and activation techniques to restore contractile function.

Tightness is Secondary to Weakness.
