About MAT:
MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques) "looks at muscle tightness as a form of protection in the body. Weak or inhibited muscles can create the need for other muscles to tighten up in order to help stabilize their joints. Mat gets to the root of pain or injury by addressing muscle weakness rather than muscle tightness. This helps to restore normal body alignment, thereby, decreasing pain and reducing the risk of injury." For more information on MAT, visit: http://www.muscleactivation.com/
About RTS:
RTS (Resistance Training Specialist) is "dedicated to the objective exploration of industry standards and trends such as "functional training", "stretching" and "full range of motion" as well as examining and applying the ignored science of Exercise Mechanics... the real key to understanding the number one modality used in every form and type of exercise from Pilates to powerlifting, cardio to strength... resistance." As in any profession, there is much more detail than meets the eye. RTS breaks down each form of "resistance" exercises and examines them to perform proper assessment and progression of each and every exercise according to the specific needs of each individual.
