Muscle Activation Therapy (MAT) is a diagnostic and treatment procedure for muscle dysfunction and imbalance. It is possible to improve strength, stability, and mobility without resorting to surgery.
Muscle Activation Therapy is based on the premise that pain, limited mobility, and diminished performance can result from compensatory movement patterns caused by a lack of or inability to completely activate specific muscles.
MAT attempts to detect and correct these abnormalities by targeting specific muscles and their associated neurological pathways.
The first step in the therapeutic process is a thorough assessment of the patient’s mobility and muscle function. The physician examines the patient’s range of motion, muscle strength, and tender areas. The clinician can determine which muscles require activation by identifying those that are either weak or inhibited.
MAT uses manual techniques and exercise programs to activate and engage specific muscle groups. Using manual resistance, the therapist targets specific muscle groups to stimulate contraction and activation.
This procedure aims to increase the passage of information between the brain and the muscles, thereby facilitating improved recruitment and performance of the muscles.
During therapy sessions, therapists may have patients perform a series of exercises and maneuvers to strengthen the newly activated muscles. Typically, the exercises are designed specifically for the patient and seek to improve the patient’s strength and stability in the affected areas.
Muscle Activation Therapy can benefit a variety of individuals, including athletes, those recovering from injuries, and those with chronic discomfort.
MAT concentrates on treating muscle imbalances and increasing muscle activation in order to achieve its objectives, which include enhancing performance, reducing pain, and preventing injuries.
Muscle Activation Therapy should be administered by a qualified, licensed professional with sufficient training in the technique. If you are contemplating MAT as a treatment option, you should speak with a trained specialist in the field.
