Prerequisite Participants must be a licensed therapist or have been certified in the MAT® Lower Body.

The objective: Participants will investigate Muscle Activation Techniques for the spine and explore the relationship of muscle function to joint stability, relating to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in movements of the spine and use the assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness in the spine.

Further study includes applications of isolated muscle strength testing, palpation of muscle attachment points along with corrective isometrics, and reinforcement exercises. Participants will investigate Muscle Activation Techniques for the cervical spine and explore the relationship of muscle function to joint stability, relating to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in movements of the cervical spine and use the assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness in the cervical spine. Further study includes applications of isolated muscle strength testing, palpation of muscle attachment points along with corrective isometrics, and reinforcement exercises. This course will provide information for Participants to learn the complexities of the spine muscular systems to help practitioner's better address muscle dysfunction in these areas.

Successful completion of the pre-lab module, required 2-day lab, and passing the certification exam at the lab, will allow Participants to become certified in MAT^® spine techniques.

Prerequisite Participants must be a licensed therapist or have been certified in the MAT® Lower Body.

The objective: Participants will investigate Muscle Activation Techniques® for the hand and foot. They will explore the relationship of muscle function to joint stability, relating to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in movements of the foot and hand, and will use the assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness. Further study includes applications of isolated muscle strength testing, palpation of muscle attachment points along with corrective isometrics, and reinforcement exercises. Participants gain an understanding of the unique systematic format provided through Muscle Activation Techniques® in order for them to help their clients function with maximum efficiency and balance out the muscular system.

Participants will review and gain a better understanding of the importance of the evaluation and assessment process in their MAT practice. Participants will also gain an understanding on how to stress the body in order to duplicate the stresses that may result in recurring injuries.

The objective: To provide a review and full understanding of the MAT® skillset to those who have completed the MAT® Specialist program and are currently certified. This module reviews the MAT® approach to assessment and correction of muscular imbalances in the lower body. Participants reexamine the MAT® tools used to identify restrictions in joint instability relating to muscle tightness and weakness within the lower body. Participants will fine tune the unique systematic format provided through Muscle Activation Techniques® in order for them to help their clients balance out their muscular system and function with maximum efficiency. Fully online MAT® CEU credits can only be used every other year.
