"I lost the majority of my upper body strength from an autoimmune disease that attacked my muscle tissue. After 3 years I was finally diagnosed and treated. However, certain muscles were immobile for so long that little to no strength came back with treatment. I did years of physical therapy, along with massage therapy, chiropractic care and personal training. None of these things were able to help me regain my lost muscle strength. After seeing a MAT specialist for only 2 1/2 months, I have never felt better than I do now. Kika helped me to feel and use muscles that I thought I would never be able to use again. The MAT approach is so meticulous about finding the cause of muscle weakness, making the process of reviving these muscles so much more clear-cut and effective. I have continued to do all of the MAT exercises that Kika taught me, and they have been more helpful than any other method of exercise in my recovery." - Katie Oxenhorn
"I have learned so much throughout this treatment protocol and the complexity of bio -mechanics is simply astounding. I know I am so much better than that first day when I showed up in your office. I could not drive to your office without experiencing pain. That's no longer the case. I also can sit in an office chair for a much, much longer period of time without pain. And when pain returns I can eliminate it by stretching or with heat. In the past when pain occurred, it didn't go away. Both my husband and I are true believers in MAT and your skill in executing the treatment" - Mary Lasko
