Staging – MAT – Muscle Activation Techniques

Become a Highly Skilled MAT Practitioner in 1 Year

Clearer assessments change everything—your results, the complexity of cases you can take on, and the level of clients who trust you. This is for professionals ready to elevate how they think, decide, and operate.

Real Feedback.

Real Clinical Results.

If your clients keep compensating, staying tight, or stalling in progress, it’s not because you’re missing effort or intent. It’s because most systems don’t show you where stability is actually breaking down.

"MAT changed how I think about tightness, pain, and movement entirely. I can finally identify why motion disappears instead of guessing-and my results are more consistent than ever."

Charlie Cates MAT Practitioner

Kika Mela Massage Therapist

It changed everything. MAT brought clarity to my work. Instead of chasing tightness, now I understand why muscles aren’t functioning.

Shannon Maixner Physical Therapist

As a physical therapist, this added clarity I didn’t have before. MAT sharpened my assessments and made my treatments more precise.

Eric Seifert Strength Coach

My assessments became clearer and my results more consistent once I understood what was actually limiting movement.

Dr. Tory Hinson Physical Therapist

MAT improved how I identify limitations. My evaluations are clearer and my outcomes more consistent. I use it in all of my sessions.

Chad Graham Athletic Trainer

I gained clarity on what limits performance and stopped guessing with athletes. MAT transformed my practice and career.

Steve Hess Athletic Trainer

MAT has always been a game changer. MAT Athlete is the evolution that elevated how I assess performance and train athletes.

The Problem

As a Healthcare Professional, you’ve likely seen this pattern:

Clients improve, then regress.
Tightness and mobility issues keep returning.
Progress plateaus without a clear explanation.
Results depend heavily on experience and intuition.
You end up reassessing, guessing, and working around the problem instead of solving it.
Clients eventually stop showing up because they aren't progressing in a timely manner.

Over time, outcomes feel less predictable than they should for a trained professional.

The Solution

MAT produces more predictable results with it's systematic process.

It tests muscle contractile efficiency at the position where stability is required.
It identifies whether a muscle can actually perform its job, before compensation occurs.
It removes guessing by using a repeatable, decision-making process.
It restores stability first, so mobility gains actually stick.

Instead of managing symptoms, MAT gives professionals a clear system for identifying what’s limiting function and why.
