FAQS & New Client Info

Roxie Menzes from Pilates Anytime states "Studies have shown that Pilates is effective for rehabilitation; it can reduce pain and disability. Pilates for rehab is showing up more and more in physiotherapy clinics and hospitals worldwide; so much that the major Pilates training schools offer specialized programs for PT’s (physiotherapists) and medical professionals. PT’s are establishing relationships with Pilates teachers in an effort to take the clients' healing further. The beauty of Pilates is that it can take the individual from the early stages of rehab to the long term goal of a conditioned and fully functioning body." continue reading this article about therapeutic Pilates at Pilates Anytime 

MAT® (Muscle Activation Techniques) was founded on the principle that human movement and exercise are fundamental to human health and that a muscle’s ability to contract efficiently is important for normal movement. Any loss of muscle contraction efficiency may be demonstrated as a loss of motion and decreased physical performance, which may lead to pain and/or the loss of physical capabilities. MAT® (Muscle Activation Techniques) is a specific and unique process for evaluating an individual’s ability to develop efficient muscle contraction(s) by first comparing left and right side range of motion, as the human body is designed to be symmetrical. If a movement is determined to be asymmetrical (i.e. one limb has a greater range of motion than then opposite limb) as determined by the Comparative Assessment of Mobility or CAM, then we know that one or more muscles that moves the less mobile limb is potentially weak. The muscles that are responsible for moving the limb further are then assessed by the MAT® (Muscle Activation Techniques) Specialist to determine if they have lost the ability to contract efficiently. When it has been determined through testing that a muscle has lost its ability to contract, then precise forces are applied to restore that muscle’s efficiency, re-activating that muscle. As muscles are restored to efficient contraction, MAT® (Muscle Activation Techniques) uses a system of accountability (checks and balances) to ensure that any increases in motion and symmetry are accompanied by improvements in a muscle’s contractile ability.
