Active Edge MAT, LLC is a provider of health, fitness and sports performance enhancement. Active Edge MAT utilizes Muscle Activation Techniques or, MAT, to evaluate the body's capability to function based upon physical demands placed on the body. With MAT we can evaluate the range of motion of the body to determine its neurological weakness (central nervous systems filtered ability to communicate with skeletal muscles) to generate force.
Once these muscles are identified MAT manual therapy is applied to re-establish circulation and neurological response to the tissue. MAT in almost all cases will dramatically improve the functional capabilities of the neuromuscular system of the body. Learn more.

Congratulations to my MAT client Sarah Haskins
on winning the Gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games.
Testimonial Sarah Haskins: MAT has allowed me to do what I love to do; training and racing, without being set back from injuries every other month. I respect Brad Carlson's passion in MAT and his drive to help all athletes have better function in their movement. Since beginning MAT, I can focus on training; not treating an injury. Thank you!

Muscle Activation Techniques gives athletes the competitive edge.
See how Colin Babcock from Palmer Ridge gets ready for his events in high school swimming.
(In District 38, Palmer Ridge and Lewis Palmer combine high Schools for swimming under Lewis Palmer).
Training hard for competition is great, but if your body can't recover fast enough then you won't perform at your full potential.
April 15 & 16 at the Boys High School Swimming Hornet Invitational in Pueblo, Lewis Palmer had their swimmers treated between each event with Muscle Activation Techniques.
Besides winning the meet against the other 12 schools by 69 points, Lewis Palmer swimmer Ryan Arata set 3 pool records in 2 days, and Lewis Palmer won all three relays in the finals.
Muscle Activation Techniques gives athletes the competitive edge by correcting muscle imbalances, and increases the speed and force output of the muscular system.
