Muscle Activation Techniques
Enhance Strength & Flexibility
MAT at Our Cincinnati Fitness Center
Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT) is a specific and unique process for evaluating an individual’s ability to produce efficient muscle contractions. Loss of muscle contraction results in a decreased range of motion, and therefore decreased physical performance. Range of motion testing can indicate which muscles have decreased contractibility, and precise forces are applied to restore that muscle’s efficiency.
The MAT™ Certified Specialist is trained and certified to perform several force application techniques that can restore function and strengthen weak muscles. In no time at all, you will be performing your daily activities with ease, whether that means throwing 100 yard passes or walking up the stairs!
Benefits of MAT:
- Helps athletes of any level prevent injuries
- Helps accelerate recovery from minor injuries to post-surgery
- Alleviates adverse effects of injured, tired, and overused muscles
- Gets the body to optimal efficiency and keeps the muscular system stable
How MAT Works:
- MAT is a non-invasive technique, designed to balance the muscular system in order so that it functions with maximum efficiency for day-to-day activity or strenuous training.
- Range of motion testing indicates which muscles have decreased contractibility or muscle weakness.
- Precise forces are applied to restore that muscle’s efficiency
- A re-evaluation is completed to confirm the increased communication between the muscle and brain
