MAT for Runners
Improved Running Efficiency
MAT can help you prevent and/or recover from:
- Plantar Fascitis
- IT Band Syndrome
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Achilles Tendonitis/Calf Strains
- Tendonitis of the foot/ankle muscles
- Back pain
- Tight Hamstrings/Hip Flexors
- Decreased/weak arm motion (poor upper body running mechanics)
- Shin Splints
- Patella-Femoral Syndrome (Chondromalatia)
- Hip bursitis
Running is a series of interrelated joints all working together to create motion. If the body senses instability or weakness, it tightens up to protect creating compensation. MAT helps to restore strength and stability, maximizing efficiency.
Running is a healthy form of exercise when you are able to absorb shock appropriately. When the muscles are contracting optimally, impact from activities such as running increases bone density and provides nutrition to the joints.

“I have had chronic knee pain for many years. I have tried many different techniques (surgery, physical therapy, acupuncture, and more) to “get by,” so that I can keep on running. Some have helped, but usually for just a short span of time before the pain increases again. With MAT … I have already noticed a significant decrease in knee pain almost to the point of no pain. In addition I have a much greater range of motion with my joints as well as increased strength.
