MAT is ideal for anyone experiencing muscle tightness, pain, or limited mobility, as well as athletes aiming to enhance their performance.
Whether you’ve tried other therapies without success or are looking for a proactive way to prevent future injuries, MAT can help by addressing the root cause of muscle dysfunction. Clients typically see improvements in strength, stability, and range of motion, often after just a 1-2 sessions.
The first and major indication is that something may not feel right. This can be seen as joint pain, muscle tension or instability of a joint, or in other words tight hamstrings, tight lower back, shin splints, aching knees, or a hyper-extended joint.
Any feelings of pain or tightness can be signs of possible muscle weakness.
MAT is different because it doesn’t just focus on relieving symptoms; it addresses the root cause of muscle tightness, pain, and dysfunction. While other treatments may focus on stretching tight muscles or strengthening weak ones, MAT looks at how your muscles communicate with your nervous system to find the source of the problem.
By restoring proper muscle function and balance, MAT helps your body heal itself more effectively. This approach often leads to longer-lasting relief and better overall results, even when other methods have failed.
MAT is a technique that helps athletes recover from competitive stress quickly and help them prevent future injuries. When training at a high level, these inefficiencies are magnified, and sometimes the body can no longer handle the stress, and break down.
By balancing the muscular system, MAT provides an improved environment for restoring physical performance. This allows the athlete to return to sport sooner with improved athletic capabilities.

“Muscle Activation” is a common term used in fitness and therapy circles to describe exercises designed to warm up or “activate” muscles before activity. These exercises typically involve dynamic movements aimed at getting muscles ready for action. While sometimes useful, these exercises are general in nature and don’t address deeper issues in muscle function.
On the other hand, Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a specialized, hands-on process developed by Greg Roskopf 30 years ago. MAT focuses on identifying and correcting muscle inhibition by addressing neuromuscular imbalances at their root. MAT is not about simply warming up muscles—it’s a comprehensive approach that systematically evaluates and treats muscle function.
