The Science Behind Our Exclusive MAT™ Therapy

Instead of just treating symptoms, MAT™ identifies and corrects muscle imbalances at the source. Here’s how it works.

MAT uses a bio-mechanical evaluation and treatment process to identify where this is limited range of motion and muscles are not functioning properly. The goal is then to re-activate weak muscles through precise manual palpations and positional isometric exercises, restoring contractile capabilities and motion.

If you get to this age and you’re trying to keep playing, you need help. Everybody has a masseuse, but most guys do more now. Last year, when I flew Roskopf (founder of MAT™) to Indy, I was paying him what he’d make all day for his appointments in Denver. But if MAT™ helps extend my career by two years, with two more years of salary, its well worth it.

Everything you need to know about our MAT ™ therapy.

MAT is beneficial to people on all ends of the spectrum with all types of goals. For Exercise enthusiasts and athletes MAT™ can increase performance, prevent the occurrence of injury and eliminate discomfort associated with training. For other people MAT™ provides increased physical ability to perform the activities of daily living and recreation.

MAT focuses on identifying and reactivating muscles that aren’t firing properly. We get to the root cause of muscle dysfunction, which is why you feel results fairly quickly.

MAT is completely non-invasive and should not be painful. You’ll feel gentle pressure and muscle contractions, but the process is comfortable. Most clients find it relaxing and are amazed at how good they feel afterward.
Most treatments address tight muscles by stretching them or painful areas with temporary relief. MAT identifies why muscles are tight (usually because other muscles aren’t working) and reactivates the weak muscles. This eliminates the need for your body to create tightness as protection.

Expertise

Ken Westbrook

Personal Trainer | MAT

Ken Westbrook has lived in Atlanta since 1994 when he moved here from California to attend Clark Atlanta University. He was a sprinter and hurdler at CAU when a reoccurring injury cut his collegiate career short. As an athlete, Ken has always been drawn to a profession in sports medicine and athletic training. He graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a B.S. in Health Education in 1997.

Before college in 1994, Ken was an Army Paratrooper and is a Desert Storm Veteran. Years later, he was introduced to obstacle course racing and immediately fell in love. Unfortunately, during his training, Ken experienced another injury. During this time, Ken learned about and experienced Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). Having not run for almost a year, Ken, with the help of MAT specialist Jason Colleran at Elite Edge Fitness, began running full 6-mile races in just 6 weeks. Shortly after his MAT experience with Jason, he enrolled in the Muscle Activation Techniques program and is now an MAT Specialist himself. Ken now pursues his passion and is dedicated to helping runners and active people of all skill levels achieve their goals while preventing the same types of injuries he experienced.
