Why do you need Muscle Activation Techniques?
Muscles shut down due to stress, trauma and overuse. When muscles shut down, your brain shuts down certain ranges of motion due to perceived instability or lack of strength to protect that joint. Just like a road closure due to construction, if there isn’t a safe way through you have to take a detour. The detour of your body is referred to as compensation. This leads to instability, pain and increased stress on joints because muscles aren’t working properly. How Muscle Activation Techniques can help you: • MAT is the only technique that restores the muscles connection to your brain allowing proper muscle contraction to occur. • With MAT you feel your body increase in available motion right away and subsequent treatments continue increasing motion in each joint that is restricted/shut down. • Your muscle contraction allows for greater stability when doing activities. Instead of feeling weakness/pain or discomfort, as your muscles start firing properly, you feel the increased ease of performing both daily activities as well as sport. • MAT specifically targets the underlying cause of the problem. We treat the weak muscles and the protective tightness goes away. • It takes years off your body!
