MAT Rx Specialist Certification
GET STARTED TODAY!
Broadview University has collaborated with Muscle Activation Techniques® (MAT) to deliver a module based pathway towards becoming a MATRx Specialist.
These 12 week, self-paced modules conclude with required exam prep and certifying examination at the state of the art MAT® Headquarters in Denver, CO. All online coursework must be successfully completed to attend the competency review and practical exam for certification. A certificate of completion for the online modules will be provided by Broadview University. The MAT® certifications are granted by MAT® .
Our MAT program curriculum is developed by industry professionals in order to equip you with in-demand skills. You will learn this advanced skillset through various educational formats virtually to understand and apply your knowledge, to be prepared for the onsite practical certification prior to graduating.

What You Need to Know
Suggested completion time is 12 weeks. However, those with advanced training and education in a related field and/or those with significant time to study may be able to complete the module more quickly. All participants are required to have successfully completed and passed the online training portion prior to attending the required exam prep and test for certification. Participants must complete all four modules and pass all four corresponding exams in order to become MATRx® certified.
Registration is $4,200 per module. This includes the MAT® eBook manual. Students are required to cover their own travel and personal expenses to the Colorado MAT® facility, including but not limited to transportation (local automobile expenses or bus fare and/or airfare if applicable), meals, lodging if applicable, and other personal expenses. Tuition is due prior to course enrollment and is not refundable after the first date of access in the course.
Entrance requirements: Students must be an active MAT® Master Specialist or MATRx® Foot and Hand certified.
Course Descriptions
MATRx Module 1 – Foundation and Posterior Chain,
Prerequisite: Participant must be a MAT® Master Specialist or MATRx® Foot and Hand Certified.
The objective: Students will learn the foundation behind the most precise level of application of Muscle Activation Techniques. The MAT Rx program utilizes the basic skill set of MAT® and progresses students into a patterned systematic process of assessment and testing the muscular system. These prescriptive rules are the most effective sequencing of MAT® challenging force tolerance levels in order to increase the stress threshold within the neuromuscular system. In this course, students will learn a total body Rx process from MAT that is designed to improve the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system in the most precise and effective way possible. Students will learn the complex MAT Rx sequencing patterns for the core foundation and the posterior chain.
MATRx Module 2 – Shoulders and Hips
Prerequisite: MAT550 – MATRx® Module 1.
The objective: Participants will continue to learn the most precise level of application of Muscle Activation Techniques®. The MATRx program utilizes the basic skill set of MAT and progresses participants into the implementation of a 43 pattern, systematic evaluation and treatment process that enables the student to administer a total body neuromuscular overhaul on their clients’ muscular systems. The MATRx prescriptive rules are the most effective form of sequencing the MAT tools, enabling the participants to be able to challenge force tolerance levels in order to increase the stress threshold within the neuromuscular system. Participants will learn various patterns out of a total body RX process from MAT that is designed to improve the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system in the most precise and effective way possible. In this module, participants will learn the complex MATRx sequencing patterns for the muscles of the shoulders and hips.
MATRx Module 3 – Accessory Muscles
Prerequisite: MATRx® Module 2.
The objective: Participants will continue to learn the most precise level of application of Muscle Activation Techniques®. The MATRx program utilizes the basic skill set of MAT and progresses participants into the implementation of a 43 pattern, systematic evaluation and treatment process that enables the student to administer a total body neuromuscular overhaul on their clients muscular systems. The MATRx prescriptive rules are the most effective form of sequencing the MAT tools, enabling the participants to be able to challenge force tolerance levels in order to increase the stress threshold within the neuromuscular system. Participants will learn various patterns out of a total body RX process from MAT that is designed to improve the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system in the most precise and effective way possible. In this module, participants will learn the complex MATRx sequencing patterns for the muscles of the Lower leg and foot along with the wrist and hand
MATRx Module 4 – Cervical
Prerequisite: MATRx® Module 3
The objective: Participants will continue to learn the most precise level of application of Muscle Activation Techniques®. The MATRx program utilizes the basic skill set of MAT and progresses participants into the implementation of a 43 pattern, systematic evaluation and treatment process that enables the student to administer a total body neuromuscular overhaul on their clients’ muscular systems. The MATRx prescriptive rules are the most effective form of sequencing the MAT tools, enabling the participants to be able to challenge force tolerance levels in order to increase the stress threshold within the neuromuscular.
