What To Expect When You Go From Symptom-Focused MAT To Strength-Focused MAT
Wed Feb 04 2026
Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com
Muscle Activation Techniques® (MAT) is one of the most effective ways to calm down muscle- and joint-related symptoms, but its power doesn't end there.
Once your symptoms are addressed and you are feeling well, it is time to move to the next stage of MAT, and this is where things get taken to a whole new level.
And, when you make that jump with MAT to level up your body, the progress from one session to the next can look different than when you were simply having symptoms addressed.
While this progression catches a lot of people off guard, it is actually a really good sign from your body, and on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into why this is and what is happening with your body at these new levels.
If you have ever wondered if MAT is only useful for addressing symptoms, listen up!
There is a whole world of possibilities that you get access to when you start to level up your MAT, and that's exactly what we are telling you about in this conversation.
Check out all the details in this week's episode!
