Have you heard of Muscle Activation Techniques® or MAT® but aren’t sure what it is?

Have you heard that MAT® is helping people live pain-free, but have no idea how or if it would work for you?

Charlie Cates was recently interviewed on the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast where he answered these very questions and more.

He and the show’s host, Nathalie Niddam, dove deep into many aspects of MAT®, the MAT® process, who it is for, what issues it solves, and why it is important.

They get into the relationship between MAT® and exercise, how MAT® can increase both physical longevity and physical freedom, and dive into their own personal experiences with MAT®.

Charlie has been practicing Muscle Activation Techniques® in Chicago, Schaumburg, and the surrounding suburbs since 2011, having learned the skill set directly from Greg Roskopf, the developer of MAT®. Charlie has been trained in the highest level of MAT®–MATRx–as well as the MATRx Stim process and the MAT® Athlete process.

A former instructor for the Muscle Activation Techniques® education program for over eight years, Charlie has helped hundreds of students and professionals learn the MAT® skill set at every level of the MAT® education program.

The insights and ideas he shares in this episode about MAT® are invaluable.
