Individual training (one on one) - A private session where each individual will be provided a hands-on approach to address muscular imbalances and ensure proper technique. This may include individuals who have little previous exercise experience or prefer a small gym atmosphere. Depending on their initial evaluation, some table work might be needed to address joint restrictions, joint pain, muscle weakness or discomfort. Though these sessions are more expensive, the client gets the necessary attention to address their individual needs. These may include clients referred from a physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist.

Semi-private training: (small group of 2-4 people)-
Individuals who would rather not pay for a private session and/or don't have physical limitations or restrictions that require immediate attention..

Exercise therapy - This is intended for the senior or elderly population, depending on their physical limitations. Exercise Therapy can range from exercises in a bed or a chair using resistance bands or light weights, to weight bearing exercises for balance and gait.

Table work - Performed on a massage table, this type of therapy addresses joint pain or limitations, along with weak or inflexible muscles. This includes simple massaging of muscles to treat pain or stiffness and/or manual resistance for weak muscles.

Muscle Activation Technique -
Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) is a therapeutic approach designed to identify and correct muscular imbalances which contribute to chronic pain, tightness, and injury. MAT does not directly treat the pain or tightness. These are only symptoms with a deeper issue that are the result of the overstressing of an area of the body, due to muscular imbalances. Typically the pain we experience is due to an accumulation of stress being placed on the body that the muscles and joints can no longer handle.
Muscle Activation Technique (MAT)
Muscular imbalances are due to muscles becoming inhibited. A weak muscle, meaning underdeveloped, may have perfect neurological feedback and therefore be able to be strengthened with conventional exercises. However, if a muscle is inhibited, it means that the muscle does not have a proper neurological connection. Therefore it can't be strengthened through conventional forms of exercise until it has been activated or "jumpstarted". This is why we call an inhibited muscle neurologically weak. When a muscle is inhibited, it means the connection between the brain and the muscle (through the central nervous systems) is impaired. MAT incorporates specific isometric exercises that are designed to "jumpstart" or stimulate the relationship b/t the muscle and the brain. It is like tightening the battery cables on your car. The goal is to utilize all of the electrical impulses being sent to the muscle. By "tightening the cable" or "jumpstarting" the muscle, the end result is increased contractile capabilities of the muscle.
If you have muscles that have been inhibited due to prolonged stress or sudden trauma, then moving into a position of vulnerability (meaning a position that involves the inhibited muscles, particularly an extreme range of motion) will usually result in compensation ("helper" muscles taking over for the inhibited muscles). This will lead to the active muscles getting stronger while the inactive muscles stay weak.

Though this compensation helps to protect the body from serious injury, it also forces muscles to perform an activity they were not designed to do. If you continually do an activity (golf swing, yoga postures, exercise machines) that emphasize muscles that are inhibited, then it is likely that the "helper" muscles will soon become overworked and unable to handle the stresses placed upon them. This can lead to progressive joint deterioration and chronic problems such as tendonitis, bursitis, and/or arthritis. MAT can help prevent this continual downward progression by taking a corrective course of action.

Group Seminars/ Workshops - Educating groups on exercise and the human body so they may gain a better understanding of their own body and how best to take care of it. Topics range from “Latest Fitness Trends” to “How to Get the Most out of Your Workout.”
