Muscle Activation Techniques - Gym Chat #257

In this Gym Chat I speak with Eric Seifert from http://www.CoreStrength.ca about correcting muscle imbalances using Muscle Activation Techniques. We'll also discuss passive vs active stretching, how to assess muscular imbalances, the benefits of isometric exercise, preventing injuries, improving strength, enhancing your nervous system and your muscles, and more! Check out my blog post about Muscle Activation Techniques at: http://top-form-fitness.com/fitness-b... Eric Seifert is one of Canada’s leading health professionals.  He is one of only six Canadians that hold a Mastery Level designation within the Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) discipline as well as the Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) program.  He was fortunate enough to have studied directly under MAT founder, Greg Roskopf as well as RTS developer, Tom Purvis.   With an eye to education and a desire to share the knowledge he has accumulated over 23 years in the industry, he is currently the only Canadian instructor in the MAT Jumpstart program which teaches assessment and treatment with isometrics. He has taught nationally and internationally and frequently consults on a number of online training products. Learn about the upcoming JumpStart courses at: http://www.MuscleActivation.com His extensive knowledge in biomechanics, exercise and force principles has helped him to establish new standards for rehabilitation and addressing dysfunction.  In 2003, Eric co-founded Corestrength Inc., a company which provides comprehensive biomechanics-based rehabilitation treatment and exercise mechanics.   Eric’s goal of improving muscular balance and increased function using MAT and training has allowed him to become one of the most sought after specialists in the country.  He has worked with clients of all ages, from 5 years old to 92.  His experience with professional athletes ranges from current and retired MLB, NBA, NHL and OHL, both NFL and CFL as well as Olympians. Many of these athletes juggle the challenge of pushing performance and over-training and as a consequence exhibit chronic orthopaedic issues.
