Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)™ hits THRIVE!

This unique therapeutic approach to pain-free living (used by professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and UFC) is now available to YOU!

What makes MAT® unique? – While most therapies focus on treating the muscles with tension and/or pain, MAT gets to the root of pain or injury by addressing muscle weakness rather than muscle tightness. MAT® views 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. The goal of MAT® is to identify the inhibited or weak muscles that are creating a protective response and then ‘jumpstart’ these muscles in order to improve their contractile capability.  If the tight muscles are stretched or massaged-without addressing the root cause, the inhibited or weak muscle-then we may have violated the body’s protective mechanism.  We must know that when we increase range of motion through modalities like stretching or massage, that there is also stability through that increased range. MAT® provides the checks and balances system to make sure that this happens. That is why MAT® is a great adjunct to all forms of exercise and therapy.

Thrive Fitness Featured on Dr. Laura Beaty’s Newsletter

Thrive Fitness was featured this month on Dr. Laura Beaty’s newsletter.  Dr. Laura Beaty, a local concierge physician, understands the importance of choosing the right trainer to achieve optimal fitness and improve health.

I am thrilled with the results I’ve seen in working with Thrive Fitness.  I have more confidence and energy each day because of the work I do with Lloyd.  I have reached fitness goals that I simply could not achieve on my own.  Laura Beaty, MD

Dr. Beaty has practiced medicine in Atlanta since 1998. She founded Alliance Primary Care in 2005 to fulfill her desire of working in a practice where she could care for patients to her highest standards. The popularity of this unique practice has expanded and now, the additions of Dr. Saju Mathew and Kimberly Brewster NP allow a greater number of patients to experience primary health care the way it should be.

“In third grade I listed my desired future occupation as physician. It was only when I finished my training and began to practice that I questioned that very early decision. Starting this practice has resurrected my passion. I love spending quality time with my patients, I love our staff, and I now love my job!”
