Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques

With more than 20 years of experience in movement, performance, and neuromuscular function, Gregory Gordon has dedicated his career to understanding how the body works.

Gregory is a MATRx Practitioner, holds a Master’s degree in Movement Science from Columbia University, is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, a USA Weightlifting Coach, and is currently pursuing his PhD in Kinesiology.

His approach combines advanced education with hands-on experience to help clients uncover muscular limitations that may be impacting movement and performance.

The body does not tighten for no reason at all.

The first sign of neuromuscular weakness is protective tightness.

The second sign is pain.

Instead of forcing more movement, what if the solution is restoring the body's ability to create stability first?

That's the foundation of MAT.

For years, many professionals have been taught that tightness is the cause—and that stretching, mobilization, or deep tissue work is the solution.

But what if tightness is actually part of the body's protective response?

When we begin to view tightness as a symptom rather than the root cause, it can change the way we assess movement and approach care.

This is one of the concepts that makes MAT different.

Most professionals are still chasing symptoms, tightness, pain, and compensation. But for practitioners like Kris Sullivan, that approach stopped being enough.

With a background in massage therapy, active release therapy, corrective exercise, and performance training, Kris had already studied the systems most professionals rely on. Then he found Muscle Activation Techniques, and everything changed.

The focus shifted away from chasing symptoms and toward restoring function.

June is almost here and so is the next MATPro group start.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, researching, wondering if now is the right time to finally learn Muscle Activation Techniques® this is your sign.

Because MAT isn’t another corrective exercise system.

It’s a process for assessing, addressing, and verifying muscular function with purpose.

The June MATPro start date is approaching fast and once the group begins, the journey starts together.

Part IV of our series with Greg Roskopf and Vince Del Monte.

In this segment, Greg uses an analogy of car battery cables to explain how stimulating the origin and insertion of the muscles increases the sensory reception and essentially reprograms the nervous system to function more effectively and efficiently.

Part III in our Series of Greg Roskopf and Vince Del Monte.

In this segment, Greg touches on how most of the time with injuries, the conventional focus is on the area of injury. In Vince's example, typically the suggestions are to massage the back, do deep tissue work, stretch the the muscles of the spine.

Where as with MAT, we can utilize our hands-on skillset to identify which muscles went weak.

Greg ends up discovering that Vince's glutes got overstressed in the process of a workout which created the tightness in the back.

With this information, Greg is able to address the root cause of the injury - the neuromuscular weakness in his glutes.

​Greg reminds us that when muscles go weak, they lose their ability to contract into the shortened range - therefore he took Vince into the shortened range of hip extension, which is essentially the shortened position of the glutes and applied a light force. Given that Vince was unable to resist that force, it proved to Greg that there is an inefficiency of contraction in the gluteus maximus.

Stay tuned for Part IV.
