What is Myoskeletal Alignment and Corrective Exercise?

The MAT program was developed as a tool to help relieve our nation’s neck/back pain epidemic. By incorporating muscle-balancing techniques with joint-mobilization maneuvers, our massage therapists learn to quickly identify and correct dysfunctional neurologically driven strain patterns before they become pain patterns.

A corrective exercise by its simplest definition is a movement or exercise chosen to correct a specific dysfunction. Corrective exercise and proper movement practice aim at strengthening weak, inhibited muscles and restoring proper joint mobility to add balance to the body. Doing so can help reduce the intensity and the frequency of musculoskeletal pain and joint stiffness and help improve balance and coordination.
