MUSCLE ACTIVATION TECHNIQUES, MAT

We use MAT as a vital part of the exercise process to address and improve the integrity of our clients muscle system in a meaningful way.

The primary benefit of MAT is its ability to assess, prepare and improve an individual's muscular system's contractile capabilities in order to participate in, as well as measure the tolerance to the demands of various forms of exercise.

The idea behind MAT is to locate muscles that have a low quality of muscle contraction and restore it back to having a high quality of contraction. The bottom line is that this process with not only best prepare your body for exercise but also significantly affect your ability to tolerate the physical stress of exercise so you can keep doing the things that you love to do!

  • Energetic Massage Modality is a deep relaxing session that revitalizes the body. It promotes energy flow to where it’s needed most. It relieves tension by removing any energetic blocks throughout. This holistic therapy addresses the “whole” person; body, mind and spirit.

    The session will:
    + Ease stresses and stiffness.
    + Stimulate and relax the nervous system.
    + Aid the digestive system.
    + Encourages and improves circulation of blood and lymph.
    + Release blockages in energy which cause pain and unease.

  • Polarity - developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (1980-1981), drawing on information from a wide range of sources, he found that the Human Energy Field is affected by touch, diet, movement, sound, attitudes, relationships, life experience, trauma and environmental factors.

    Polarity practice is often very broad, with implications for health professionals in many therapeutic disciplines. As a result, Polarity supports strong connections to many other healing and holistic health systems. For example, basic characteristics of the Human Energy Field are described in many sources, both ancient and modern. From the Ayurvedic tradition, Polarity integrates the “Three Principles, Five Chakras and Five Elements” and has been called the modern manifestation of ancient Hermetic Philosophy.

    • Polarity is experienced as the universal pulsation of expansion/contraction or repulsion/attraction known as Yang and Yin in Oriental therapies. Energy moves out from a central source - which is repulsion, then back to the course - which is attraction. Polarity practitioners use this natural phenomenon as a way of tracking energy flow.

    • The bodywork of Polarity consists of specific manipulations aimed at releasing tension and blockages in the physical body and then balancing the life energy!

    • Polarity also works with the Meridians of the body. Meridians are energy channels ‘transporting’ life energy throughout the body. If there are blockages, leading to lack of energy supply to certain areas of the body, or a surplus of energy in other areas.

    • Our energy flow affects how we feel, how we think, and the over all condition of our health situation. When the body’s life-force energy becomes blocked, various imbalances will result. Tracing Meridians can help with pain, cold or heat in an area. Using Rajasic, Sattvic, and Tamasic principles will be used to move the energy.

  • “Tend to the Feet....Tend to the Body!”

    • Integrating Ayurvedic reflexology with zone therapy and the energetic principles of Polarity, Elemental Reflexology was created.

    • The inter-relationship of the five elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth are the bases of ER. The theory that there are reflex points on the feet and hands linked to every part of the body, i.e. specific muscle groups or organs.

    • Through the application of pressure on particular areas of the feet, it promotes benefits such as the relaxation of tension, improvement of circulation, flexibility to the feet, and support of normalized function in the related areas in the body.

  • • Is based on the ancient Indian belief in a series of seven shares, or energy centers. Each chakra is related to particular organs of the body, ailments, colors, elements, and emotions.

    • Various approaches may be used to “balance” the chakras, such as tuning forks, oils, silks, stones, and music. Chakra balancing promotes health by maximizing the flow of energy in the body, much as a tune-up enables a car to operate at peak efficiency.

    • Balancing the chakras also promotes general health and well-being by ensuring the free flow of life energy throughout the body. The blockages in the flow of this vital energy will eventually result in mental, emotional and/or physical illness.

  • “Lymphatic drainage is the key to keeping your immune system working properly.”

    • This utilizes a light superficial stroke that helps to increase the flow of the lymph system.

    • MLD can help clients improve metabolism, regenerate body tissue, normalize organ function. The gentle, rhythmic strokes increase the flow of lymph and reduce toxins in your body. The lymph system is part of your body’s immune system and helps fight infection.

    • Lymphatic system works hand in hand with the circulatory system.

  • • Is a gentle hands on approach that releases tension deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improves whole-body health and performance.

    • Using a soft touch to release a restricted area of soft tissues that surround the central nervous system, i.e.: cranium/spine/sacrum

    • This treatment is very relaxing and verily subtle. It reaches all the cells of our body. It also helps with relaxation benefits to improve mood, and better sleep quality. The gentle bodywork approach restores balance and resiliency to our system and may improve over all circulation.
