This may eventually result in pain or even osteoarthritis. MAT strategically attempts to restore proper contraction of a muscle, thus providing the body to function the way it was designed to.

• Applying direct pressure to attachment sites of the tested muscles to re-establish their functionality and ability to perform more e
