F.A.Q.

• What is MAT?

• What makes MAT unique?

• What causes muscle weakness?

• What is the goal of the MAT Process?

• How many times per week should I be seen?

• How many sessions will it take to fix my problem?

• Can I still participate in my normal activities while working with you?

• I don’t want to have surgery even though it has been recommended to me. Can MAT help me?

• I’ve tried everything to get rid of my pain and nothing has worked. Can MAT help me? 

• Does it hurt?

• Can MAT have a positive impact on arthritis and the aging process?

• What are the indications of muscle weakness – how do I know if I have a ‘weak’ muscle?

• What about strength training, stretching, or even yoga – Can’t these correct weakened muscles?

• So MAT is really a special form of exercise?

• If I am an athlete, will MAT help improve my performance and keep me healthy?

Can I still participate in my normal activities while working with you?

 

Yes, however you must be open to the idea that you may have to modify what you do and/or how often you do it. Your specific activity may be a major contributor to the cause of your discomfort and/or it may be hindering the progress of your MAT sessions. Your activity may be the reason for your muscle inhibition. You may have to minimize or stop the activity in order to allow us to progress the muscle to the point where it can handle the stress you are putting on it. I’m not saying that you will never be able to resume your previous activity; I’m suggesting that you allow us to get your muscular system working better before you return to your prior intensity level.
