Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques Muscle Activation Techniques MAT® is effective for EVERYONE from elite athletes to rehabilitation patients, and anyone in between; athletes NFL,NBA,NHL etc

As we age, due to various forms of stresses being placed on the body, the muscular system may become less efficient in its contractile abilities. The result of this diminished muscle activity may correlate with many of the physical complaints that we relate to aging. There are many modalities out there that deal specifically with injuries or the degenerative changes that occur with aging; however,

up until recently, no one has specifically dealt with the negative changes that occur relative to our neuromuscular function. This is where Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) fits in. MAT recognizes that as we age, the accumulation of stresses and traumas to the body takes its toll on our muscle function. MAT recognizes that every injury may have a negative impact on our neuromuscular function and that over time, the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system becomes negatively altered. If this altered communication is not regularly addressed, then the cumulative effect may be a progressive weakness of the muscular system as a whole, resulting in an increase susceptibility to pain, injury and/or degenerative issues. The end result is a decreased ability for the muscles to handle the physical stresses that come with everyday activity, exercise and physical performance. MAT is a specific program designed to identify and address these altered communication pathways with the primary goal being to restore muscle contractile capabilities

MAT can be looked at as part of the exercise continuum. The most important component of MAT is that it provides a system of checks and balances. It enables a MAT practitioner to evaluate the integrity of the neuromuscular system whenever a force has been applied against it. MAT also allows trainers to evaluate various forms of force applications in order to determine if certain exercises exceed the threshold, thus resulting in muscle inhibition. In simplistic terms, MAT allows trainers and therapists to “check their work”. Therefore, MAT can act as an adjunct to all forms of therapy and exercise. It is a specific technique designed to improve muscle function. This improvement in muscle function can, in turn, provide an environment which can reduce the risk of injury while also speed up the body’s ability to recover from injury.

MAT originally started as an in-house program.

It was never meant to be learned in isolation.

8 three-day weekends.
Over 10 months.

Immersed in the process.

Why? Because this isn’t just information.

It’s practice.
It’s feel.
It’s feedback.

You can watch it online.
You can try it at home.

You can put your spouse or your kids on the table…

But they can’t tell you if you’re right.

They don’t know if your direction is off.

If your hand placement is wrong.

If what you’re feeling actually makes sense.

And that’s the gap.

Because MAT isn’t just about doing something. It’s about knowing if what you did actually worked.

And the fastest way to learn that?

Be in the room.

With people doing the same thing. Thinking the same way. Getting corrected in real time.

“Move your hand.”
“Change direction.”
“That’s not it.”
“That’s it.”

That’s where it clicks.

Online can support it.
But it can’t replace it.

Step back into the history of Muscle Activation Techniques with Greg Roskopf as he explains the thinking behind MAT and its unique approach to working with the body.

While MAT education has continued to evolve over the decades, the foundational concepts and processes Greg discusses here remain part of how MAT practitioners learn to assess and address muscular function today.

Pain is often the last thing to show up.

Before it becomes pain, the body spends countless hours compensating. Strong muscles work harder. Weak muscles do less. Over time, those compensations build until the system can no longer keep up.

That’s when injuries become recurring.

That’s when progress stalls.

That’s when people start chasing symptoms instead of asking why they’re there in the first place.

MAT is built around a different question:

What is the body trying to protect?

Understanding that difference can change the way you think about muscle function, performance, and recovery.

Ann Hanrahan didn’t discover MAT as a practitioner. She discovered it as a client.

After experiencing MAT during her own recovery from a knee injury, Ann wanted to understand the process behind the changes she experienced.

That decision eventually took her from client to MAT Specialist—and into years of advanced education.

Today, Ann is a Mastery Level II practitioner at Restorative Fitness in Ohio. Her journey with MAT started with her own body.

Now she uses that knowledge to help others better understand theirs.

Sami Plummer’s career in movement started more than twenty years ago.

She began practicing yoga in 2003, became a teacher in 2005, and built years of experience helping people better understand and work with their bodies. But her education didn’t stop there.

Sami eventually expanded into Muscle Activation Techniques, adding a structured system for investigating muscular function to decades spent studying movement.

Today, she’s a certified MAT Level I Specialist practicing in Frisco, Texas. Different disciplines. One continued pursuit: understanding the body better.

Jérémie Doyon has spent years finding out what his body is capable of.

A kinesiology graduate and professional volleyball player from Quebec, Jérémie has competed at the university level, represented Canada in beach volleyball, and taken his career overseas to Europe.

Now he’s taking that pursuit of performance even deeper through Muscle Activation Techniques.

MAT gives Jérémie another way to investigate how the muscular system produces movement and force.

For an athlete whose career depends on performance, understanding the body isn’t just interesting. It’s part of the job.
