MAT For Massage Therapists

MAT Allows Massage Therapists To Cater To Their Client's Individual Unique Needs Prior or Post Session

A common issue for Massage Therapist is losing clients to unresolved pain or constant muscle tightness and new client acquisition can be one of the hardest parts of that job. With adding MAT, massage therapists would be able to assess each client prior to and after a massage session. This assessment gives massage therapists the ability to address and focus on the muscles that are not contracting effeciently and likely the cause of the unresolved pain or tightness.

Given that MAT improves the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, MAT helps Massage Therapists create a better healing environment for an individual client’s unique neuromuscular system.

MAT: A Tool For Massage Therapists

Definitively Relieving Tightness

When clients have muscles that have been weakened due to stress, trauma, or overuse, the resultant inflammation alters the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system. This results in a neuromuscular weakness that cannot be corrected by general massage or deep tissue work.

In order to help relieve the pain and reduce inflammation to allow the body to heal, one must first activate the individual muscular imbalances which in turn improves the necessary communication for these muscles to function optimally. Once activated, then one can get the full benefits from a relaxing massage but if individual muscles are left unactivated, one could have temporary relief in pain or tightness but likely it will come back.

What MAT Gives Massage Therapists

MAT Has A Unique Perspective On Muscle Tightness Giving Massage Therapists An Advantage

MAT looks at muscle tightness as being a symptom that relates to underlying weaknesses. When muscles can’t contact efficiently, they cannot shorten effectively and they actually weaken due to lack of neurological input. This causes opposing muscles to tighten. Many massage therapists focus on trying to loosen the muscles that are tight through excessive force such as deep tissue massage, Graston, or general massage techniques.

MAT differentiates itself from other modalites by never attempting to directly lengthen or change the muscle by stretching, heating, kneading, or foam rolling. MAT gives massage therapists a clear insight into the needs of each individual system to ensure proper reduction in muscle tightness.
