Testimonials

“Six years prior to meeting Brad, I was having ongoing neck pain. I was waking up almost every hour due to the discomfort of the pain. The loss of sleep was causing me to be irritable with my family and affecting my ability to be focused at work. I had numbness down my right arm and hand and had trouble rotating my head without excruciating pain. The limited range of motion in my neck even made the simple tasks of driving difficult. My doctor referred me to physical therapy, which gave me very little relief.

I was referred to Brad by a friend who had been treated by him and thought that he might be able to help. Since receiving MAT, the range of motion in my neck has been almost fully restored, the pain is almost completely gone, and I haven’t had the numbness down my right arm and hand since. It wasn’t until the pain was almost completely gone that I realized how much of my daily life was affected by my injury.”

“After living a life dominated by excessive and brutally intense strength training, I was left severely injured and immobilized. Perplexed doctors and failed therapy attempts left me feeling hopeless that my neck, back, and knee injuries would heal. With a bit of skepticism, I turned to Brad and MAT. Hobbling into our first session with extreme knee pain, swelling, and impairment, Brad assessed my condition and knew just what I needed. His wisdom, intuitive insight, and technical expertise changed my life! I left the office that day with minimal pain, increased knee mobility and strength.

Further MAT sessions have brought continued healing to my injuries. Even more, Brad has guided me into a whole new approach to exercise, fitness, health and well-being – an approach that will serve me well the rest of my life!”

“I came to Brad & MAT because of pain. I stayed for the results. I have been a long-time consumer/benefactor of Brad’s arsenal of muscular techniques. I am active with life, and my robust activity often creates consequences. I have found that regular and routine muscular imbalance prevention with AMT provides me with handsome returns for my “athletic” performance as well as daily living. I can’t tell you exactly how this stuff works, but I can say it does and is effective. Brad is a master analyst and gifted technician. Bonus, he cares.”

“As a PGA Tour caddy, performance and recovery are non-negotiable. I train consistently and prioritize mobility, yet I still felt persistent stiffness — particularly in my thoracic spine and hips — and wasn’t seeing the carryover I expected from stretching alone.

I had tried nearly every recovery modality available: chiropractic care, massage, dry needling, cupping, compression therapy, and more. Each had value, but none created lasting improvements in how my body functioned.

MAT was different because it addressed my muscle tension at the source. The process is precise and progressive, using targeted muscle contractions to restore muscle function and joint stability. The results weren’t about temporary looseness — they were about improved function.
Within days, I noticed I didn’t feel the need to stretch. My range of motion felt easier, more controlled, and more efficient. After multiple sessions, the cumulative effect was clear: better movement quality and improved recovery capacity.

After extended travel, MAT feels like a system reset — restoring muscular balance and allowing me to continue training and performing at a high level. I truly believe it allows your body to push to its full potential. For any serious athlete, it’s a strategic investment in long-term performance and resilience.”

“I first met Brad Bischoff in 2018 while serving as Head Women’s Tennis Coach at the University of Kentucky. One of our athletes had been battling chronic hip issues despite extensive treatment through traditional sports medicine channels. After only a few Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) sessions with Brad, the changes were remarkable. She not only returned to consistent competition, but her performance elevated dramatically once her body was able to function at its full potential.

What stood out most to me was how efficiently she moved after treatment. She appeared more fluid on the court, yet her shots had greater power, precision, and timing. Brad explained that MAT helped restore proper muscle function, allowing the body to work together more effectively. That experience completely changed my understanding of movement, recovery, and athletic performance.

After experiencing MAT myself for a persistent lower leg injury, I quickly recognized its value and asked Brad to work with our entire team. The physical demands of competing in the SEC are relentless, and injuries can significantly impact a season. With Brad’s involvement, our athletes recovered faster, dealt with fewer recurring issues, and were better prepared to compete throughout demanding weekends. There were multiple occasions where players received treatment between matches and returned to compete at a high level—a significant advantage in collegiate athletics.

Brad’s impact extended beyond our team and into my own life. Years later, he helped me overcome a hip issue that had progressed to the point where surgery was being discussed. Through his expertise, individualized approach, and genuine care for others, he made a lasting impact on our program and on me personally. Without question, bringing Brad and MAT into our team environment was one of the best decisions I made during my time at Kentucky.”
