Jumpstart

The Jumpstart Course gives you the ability to assess, address, and correct muscular imbalances in the body effectively and efficiently, regardless of your industry setting.

Course Details

There is a paradigm shift from the conventional thought processes that we are accustomed to in the exercise and rehab fields that is taught in our Jumpstart courses. 

At the heart, it’s about adopting these new principles and learning new skills that will allow you to best serve the clients that come to you for pain relief, healing, and optimized performance.

In this course, you’ll learn the foundational principles related to this paradigm shift. You will gain a better understanding of the body’s communication pathways connecting the nervous system and the muscle system. Although this course only provides an introduction to the principles of MAT, you will finish this course with valuable tools that will allow you to start seeing more positive physical changes with your clients right away. 

You’ll be amazed at the results that you can achieve by applying these basic foundational principles. This experience will provide you with a solid foundation for moving into any additional MAT certification work you choose to undertake in the future.

Our goal is for participants to learn our unique systematic format of Jumpstart tools to help their individual clients function optimally, get back into action, and give them a better quality of life! 

Learn What Causes Muscle Weakness
Before you embark on learning the assessment and treatment techniques, you need to take a deeper look into the communication path-ways that exist between the nervous system and the muscular system.
Learn the Comparative Assessment Of Mobilities (CAMs) for the Full Body
Step 1 of the Jumpstart Evaluation Procedure is the Comparative Assessment of Mobility (CAM). The CAM assessment for ROM is the most important tool that you will have! You will learn 38 CAMs throughout this full body Jumpstart course.
Learn the Jumpstart Positional Tests (JPTs) for the Full Body
The JPT evaluation builds on the information that was gathered through the CAM evaluation. Once you’ve completed the CAM evaluation for each body segment, you’ll move on to step two of the five-step process: the evaluation of muscle strength through the JPT.
Learn the Positional Iso-Angular Tests (PICs) for the Full Body
Up to this point, you have assessed your client’s ROM in the body using the CAM evaluation. Then you identified which planes of motions displayed positions of weakness using the JPT assessment. Moving forward, we will now implement the PICs to activate these positions of weakness.

What Will You Learn

Greg Roskopf’s knowledge and insight will provide you with the ability to help clients increase range of motion, accelerate recovery, and unleash the body’s healing power. Throughout each chapter you will learn valuable tools that will allow you to start seeing more positive physical changes with your clients right away.

Why Muscle Tightness Is Caused By Muscle Weakness
Learn why the primary principle behind MAT, muscle tightness, is the result of muscle weakness. It is more powerful than any other mindset out there.
What Causes Muscle Weakness Inside The Body
Where there is stress, trauma, or overuse of a muscle, and the strength tolerance level of that muscle has been exceeded, the resulting inflammation alters the communication between the nervous system and that muscle. The muscle can no longer recover properly, thus it progressively weakens. Learn how to assess, address, and correct these weaknesses for your clients.
What Is And What Causes Muscle Dysfunction
Learn about how muscle dysfunction is caused by the interaction of local and systemic factors, why it happens, and what can be done to fix it.
The Role Of Inflamation And How MAT Helps Reduce It
Learn how to utilize the skills taught exclusively by Greg Roskopf to help address and further negate the resulting inflammation that inevitably occurs from stress, trauma, or overuse to the muscular system.
The Role Of Muscle Testing And How MAT Does It Different
Learn how to use specific assessment techniques that are designed to determine where altered neuromuscular function is occuring in the body. Each of your clients will receive the benefit of being treated uniquely towards their own individual muscle weaknesses and compensation patterns.
The Role Of The Muscular System In All Aspects Of Health
The muscular system is a powerful body system that gets overlooked in conventional medicine for its direct impact on overall health. Learn how obtaining optimal muscular function will effect your overall well being.
38 Proprietary Range Of Motion Exams
A step-by-step guide of how to find your client’s muscle dysfunctions across their lower body, upper body, and trunk-spine. These proprietary range of motion exams are not found anywhere else.
100+ Jumpstart Positional Tests & Position Specific Isometrics
A step-by-step process on how to test for muscle dysfunction in a way that produces high client outcomes. Once muscle dysfunction is revealed in a client, you will now have the tools to properly address their issues and create optimal muscle health.
