This was My first big Muscle Activation Technique Client

- Friday Jan 9: Introduction to the MAT therapy approach to healing, strength building

  and muscle activation common to my right knee work related injury. Activating relative

  muscles to help with pain reduction and potential healing.

  "It is like "programming" the actual muscles that will be more effective and efficient!"

  Thanks, Ian!

- Friday Jan 16: More MAT therapy application. Outstanding muscle activation!

  "After the MAT session I usually go the Boeing gym to walk the 1-mile track,

  which usually has me walk one-lap and rest after each lap due to knee injury 

  pain - this time I was able to do half a mile before resting!"

  Thanks, Ian - looks like it really work!

- Friday Jan 23: Additional MAT therapy while lying on back and stomach.

  "After today's MAT session with Ian, I was able to walk the whole one-mile track

  with little pain building-up near the last two laps - AMAZING!"

  Thanks, Ian - MAT is WORKING!"

-Friday Jan 30:

“After our MAT session today I decided to walk a mile and a half but we agreed to take it slow the extra half mile. A little pain in the last three laps but I’m excited to be improving!”

I stopped seeing this client after 6 sessions and he was handed off to a comprehensive healthcare team. In our work he regained confidence that he wasn’t “stuck” with a bad knee. We used MAT to get him back to a baseline condition so he could advance to more rigorous Physical Therapy.
