Muscle Activation Techniques(M.A.T.) Hip Flexor Issue.m4v

[dennispowersjr]

@truerehab, what could possibly be the point or reason to your post? it's evident you went on wiki or finally utilized that library card you keep renewing to find the most technical, aka irrelevant, questions to ask about M.A.T.. Instead of attacking the OP, why not start a relevant conversation where you might learn something? There's also the chance you're a frustrated, out of work physical therapist looking for a reason to attack someone doing some actual good instead of hooking up an elec

@dennispowersjr, making generalizations and/or assumptions isn't the most productive way to begin discussions. And why are my questions irrelevant? I believe any proper clinician treating such an issue would take all of them into account. I eagerly await your answer.

Then here we go:

-What sort of a "signal" will the muscles send to the brain to fire the muscles better on command? Name afferent/efferent pathways and appropriate anatomy.

-How did you determine that the anterior muscles of the thigh i.e. hip flexors were the issue in decreased SLR? Why not hamstrings, or any dural/neural tension or acetabulfemoral hypomobility? How about issues with innominate post rotation? How did you rule out the effect of non-contractile structures in your "assessment"?

@Truerehab I'm not even going to respond to your ridiculous comment because it makes no sense. You obviously have an issue with MAT because I saw you made comments on two other Specialists videos as well. When you want to actually ask me a question or have an intelligent conversation about what MAT's all about, I'm open. Until then keep your ridiculous comments to your self. Thank you.

@MotionMechanix i have a serious question sir. what do you recomend for weak like..rhomboids i think. i have a winged scapula a little bit. i know it debilitats some people but iv been doing rear deltoid raises which seem to help and some like. pushes off the wall for my rhomboids. im just curious doing this and trying to sit up straight all day should help me right? any advice for someone with a winged scapula would be GREATLY appraciated TY ^_^

[MagicCryo]

@MotionMechanix oh also i lift weights and stuff which is why i ask. i stoped doing front raises and cut back on front dlet stuf a LOT and the front shoulder issue is clearing up. now im onto my rhomboids. my lift schedule is looking good im just now starting to educate myself and...well a lot of people have fucked up posture and form and im one of them so im working my way through my worst area's now. i mean im actualy decently strong. i just never knew...bad posture was so bad.

Is someone actually listening to this guy, testing muscles that don't have very much functional significance, and "sending signals" to the brain by using palpation techniques and making sure they are "rock solid"? What a bunch of quakery, don't trust your body to an individual posing like this. See a real health care professional instead.

@Bennymorts Hi, thanks for your question. I have personally never had anyone come see me with an asymmetry in a specific Range of Motion that didn't have some inhibited muscles correlating with that Range Of Motion. I'm not saying its impossible, I've just never experienced it. If that was the case I'd probably look at the joints above or below the one that was limited and see if anything shows up there. Just to give you an example of a possible thought process. I hope this answered your quest

[bennymorts]

What do you do if he has what seems to be 'tight hamstrings' but already has a good contraction of hip flexors, TFL and hip rotators? OR will this never be the case?

If you would explain more about M.A.T. and how it is used with the client specific injury than just showing before and after muscle test, It would give this video more validity. 

[MotionMechanix]

What exactly is rubbish as you say? Can you please be more specific ?

[lieselemay]

As a LMT/CMT I appreciate just seeing the work. And as long as the ct has no issues being presented as a subject, there is no issues. So Thank you, these reminded me of things I have let slip under the radar in my own practice. Good Luck and Congratulations on a successful practice.

[MotionMechanix]

Thank you MrKchase07..........couldnt have said it better myself.

[MrKchase07]

No problem with saying how he treated the patient. He is not giving his tool-set away for free or saying that this is how you treat this specific issue. Rather that this is how he treated this particular client and the results that followed.

[MotionMechanix]

What do u mean? I'm just showing a thought process. What's the problem?
