Fitness

Imagine that the muscles in your body are strategically positioned to pull on joints and have a mechanical advantage to perform a specific function for each movement. To achieve the maximum efficiency of your muscular system, all muscles advantageously positioned to move each joint must be able to contract on demand. Range of motion is the greatest indicator of muscular weakness and is fundamental to discover how joint instability within the body may lead to pain, dysfunction, and limited mobility. The tools and training knowledge that have been developed provide the ultimate individualized training experience with special focus on identifying the root cause of your muscular system challenges and achieving the next level of your progression.

Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT) 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 the joints. Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT) pin-points the root cause of the 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.

The most comprehensive assessment process includes a range of motion analysis, 3D motion capture (efficiency/ sequencing measure), and golf-specific movement pattern testing. The assessment process provides quantifiable, metric-based data utilized to benchmark current physical performance outputs and design each player a personalized golf-fitness training program that will reduce the risk of injury and improve the biomechanical efficiency for golf performance.

I have had limited trunk mobility for years. Jonathan performed a range of motion assessment and found some limitations in my right side trunk rotation. He applied Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT™) and my range of motion was way better, right away. Now, I will train to keep it that way using isometric exercises that Jonathan recommended. If you are looking for better movement Jonathan is the man!

I am 23 years old and already have many different injuries and problems, partly due to wrong execution of exercise in the past. I made an appointment with Jonathan for a Muscle Action Techniques treatment, because many physical therapists could not help me. I thought the strengthening of weak muscles, which may have led to the existing muscular tightness and pain, was a new and intelligent approach. The experienceI had with Jonathan was a major contrast to the common stretching and massaging by physical therapists, which did not help me at all. One treatment for sure didn’t solve all my problems, however I experienced an immediate improvement in my range of motion, which we identified as limited in a detailed tesing before. The whole treatment was professional. I also learned very much and had a great conversation with Jonathan, who has a really kind and sincere personality. I can highly recommend an appointment with Jonathan, if you want to get your body and muscles to function optimally or learn about exercise.
