Prerequisite: Participants must be a licensed therapist, or must obtain undergraduate coursework in anatomy and physiology and/or hold a nationally recognized fitness certification with a minimum of two years of experience as a fitness professional.

The objective: The Muscle Activation Techniques^® lower body certification module will provide an understanding of the MAT^® skillset to Participants who have knowledge in the health and fitness field. This lower body module studies the MAT^® approach to assessment and correction of muscular imbalances in the human body. Participants are trained on the MAT^® tools used to identify restrictions in joint instability relating to muscle tightness and weakness. 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.

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

The objective: Participants will be introduced to Muscle Activation Techniques^$reg for the upper body and explore the relationship of muscle function to joint stability, relating to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in upper body movements and use the assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness with a focus on the shoulder girdle. 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 upper body and examine the relationship of muscle function to joint stability, relating to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in upper body movements and use the assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness.

Further study includes applications of isolated muscle strength testing, including break testing and neuroproprioceptive response testing; palpation of muscle attachment points along with corrective isometrics; and reinforcement exercises.

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^® upper body techniques.
