Welcome
Train Stength Training
Integrative Training Institute uses a sound biomechanical approach to exercise that embraces muscle contraction and its role in force output. With guided exercises and coaching, we observe training routines objectively, deconstruct and analyze movements that require improvement, and develop strategies to encourage good technique and optimize muscle function.
Treat Muscle Activation Technique
Muscle Activation Technique (MAT™) is a non-invasive approach to restoring muscle efficiency and improving the neuromuscular connection. MAT™ is effective in improving muscle contraction, reducing existing pain, and preventing future injuries.
Eat Functional Nutrition
Functional nutrition is the practice of considering every aspect of one's health, diet, and overall lifestyle when giving nutrition recommendations. It is a highly customized holistic health perspective that takes your unique specifications into account to trigger healing from the cellular level.

My Philosophy
Matt Information
- A revolutionary approach to the function, assessment and correction of the neuromuscular system.
- A non-invasive technique that examines muscle contractile efficiency and its relationship to limitations in range of motion and loss of joint integrity due to muscular imbalances.
- A dynamic modality that can be performed on any population and within all age groups.
Muscle Activation Technique can be an appropriate and effective form of treatment for EVERYONE! MAT has been successfully implemented in various settings including elite athletes in all major professional sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, ATP, etc..), rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics, personal training, and numerous other wellness and performance environments.
Muscle Activation Technique’s premise is that muscle or joint “tightness” or “stiffness” is secondary to muscle weakness. Furthermore, a sense of neuromuscular stability or strength is required before an individual can enjoy proper mobility or freedom of movement. This sense of stability is derived from our ability to restore proper communication between the nervous system and the muscular system.
How is this done? Built into MAT is a system of checks and balances. This system of checks and balances applies to the one thing an MAT practitioner is responsible for: muscle contractile ability. The loss of efficient muscle contractile capabilities results in decreases in range of motion which lead to decreases in physical performance. A preliminary range of motion evaluation is conducted to determine which muscles display decreased contractile abilities. Through precise muscle testing followed by specific manual palpation at the attachment points of the tissue...

What is FunctionalNutrition?
Functional nutrition is the practice of considering every aspect of one’s health, diet, and overall lifestyle when giving them nutrition recommendations. In this way, functional nutrition follows a systems approach to healthcare that takes into consideration how interrelated every part of the body is. This strategy seeks to look at the big picture of health by restoring physiological functioning. With functional nutrition, symptoms are seen as clues for diagnosing your primary health problems, whether they are related to diet, illnesses, medications, lifestyle factors, exposure to toxins, antibiotic use, or other factors.
While standard healthcare will try to suppress these symptoms with medication, functional nutrition instead sees them as clues for understanding the underlying issues within your body. By considering the impacts of seemingly unrelated factors on your health, functional nutritionists will put together a holistic health plan that takes every aspect of your health into consideration.
