Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) in Ridgefield

Reconnect Strength. Restore Control. Reclaim Movement.

At Results Fitness Ridgefield, we’re proud to be the only certified Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) facility in the area.
MAT identifies and corrects muscular imbalances to help you move better, reduce pain, and restore performance.

We don’t treat symptoms — we correct the cause.

What Is MAT?

MAT is a precision-based system that restores your body’s ability to produce efficient muscle contractions.
When a muscle becomes weak or inhibited, your body tightens other areas to protect itself — creating stiffness, pain, and limited mobility.

Instead of stretching what feels tight, MAT reactivates what’s weak — rebuilding strength, control, and balance so you can move freely again.

Why It Works

Most people treat tightness as the problem — but it’s often just the body’s way of protecting instability.

MAT addresses the root cause — muscle weakness — to create lasting improvement.

Through precise testing and activation, MAT helps you:

  • Increase mobility and range of motion

  • Improve stability and control

  • Reduce pain and muscle tension

  • Enhance recovery and performance

Your body performs best when every muscle pulls its weight.

What to Expect

Every MAT session begins with a comprehensive range-of-motion assessment to uncover your body’s imbalances and asymmetries.

Your MAT-certified specialist will:

  1. Assess movement patterns to identify instability or compensation.

  2. Test individual muscles to locate those that are inhibited or “offline.”

  3. Reactivate them through precise manual techniques.

  4. Re-test to confirm improved stability.

  5. Provide personalized corrective exercises to reinforce results.

Each session restores communication between the nervous system and muscles — helping your body move with strength and control again.

Hear from some of our members

  • I threw my back out right before I was heading away to play some golf. I booked an appointment with JP and he recommended MAT treatment. It worked amazing and I was able to make the trip with my friends pain free. Definitely recommend if you’re in any type of pain.

    Ben S

  • Last week, I was feeling an intense pain in my sciatica/lower back/piriformis area. JP told me to stop in and he would treat me. Unfortunately, I hobbled around for a few days before dropping in late on a Friday afternoon. I could barely get in and out of my car or put on a pair of pants. Simply walking was causing pain. After an MAT session with JP the pain had subsided almost immediately and has not come back. I am happily back at the gym working out with the rest of the team.

    Rick Matte

  • I do HITT style workouts which include a combination of lifting, running and rowing. I had been suffering with what I thought was sciatic pain for almost a year. It was crippling at times impacting the quality and intensity of what I could do. I went to a physical therapist and physical doctor to seek help and neither could diagnose or treat the injury. I always took the time to stretch, roll and hypervolt to try and treat it myself but nothing worked. I did two back-to-back sessions of MAT with JP and for the first time in 11 months, I was able to do my workouts without pain. He gave me exercises to do at home and before my workouts which are easy to do to help maintain the work he did. Whenever I’m home, I try to see him for a tune up. MAT was the only thing that I did differently that I can attribute to being able to push myself again. I’m slowly but surely regaining strength and speed all thanks to JP.
