Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is described as “a dramatic, non-invasive treatment process that both identifies and corrects muscular imbalances that can cause chronic pain and injury.”  According to proponents, MAT is corrects the muscular imbalances that cause pain and also are used to improve a patient’s performance as an athlete and in one’s everyday activities.
