Feeling drained during the day?
The real fix might not be more caffeine…
…it might be a better night before.

🧠 According to Dr. Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep:
• One night of poor sleep can drop your focus and reaction time by 30%
• It slows muscle recovery
• It increases pain sensitivity
• And it builds up faster than most people realize

But here’s the good news:
You don’t have to overhaul everything.

🌙 Start with this:
Set a digital sunset.
Power down screens at least one hour before bed to help your brain wind down — so your body can actually recover.

Try it tonight.
See how you feel tomorrow.
And if you want to dive deeper, check out or his book Why We Sleep.

If you’ve been dealing with pain, tightness, or instability—and nothing seems to work—You’re not alone.

Most of the people I work with at Central Valley MAT have already tried stretching, massage, foam rolling, or even physical therapy.

Some got temporary relief, others none at all. What they really needed was a different approach.

Here’s what we do differently:

Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at how well your body can tolerate the stress you put on it—day in and day out. That means helping the right muscles do their job better so your body can move, support, and stabilize itself the way it was designed to.

Sometimes just helping the right muscles contract at the right time can make a huge difference—especially when it’s been missing for years.If that sounds like something you’ve been searching for, reach out. I’d love to talk and see if this approach could be a good fit for you.

Most people think tight muscles just need more stretching.

This person had stretched her hamstrings for years—and still felt stiff.

What we discovered? That “tight” muscle was over-worked, not under-stretched. Once we re-activated a weak teammate, her range of motion changed instantly (watch her face at the end!).

✅ Better motion
✅ More strength
✅ Less pain

Think about your body like a business. Your hip? It might just be the marketing department yelling the loudest…

But the real issue?👇 It’s usually the sales department that’s been checked out for a while.

In this clip, I explain one of the biggest mindset shifts in pain relief:

✅ Pain isn’t always the problem
✅ It’s the overworked muscles trying to cover for the ones that aren’t doing their job
✅ We help reactivate those teammates so your body stops screamingIf you’ve been treating the symptom instead of the root cause, this is for you.

🎯 You’ve tried stretching, massage, even physical therapy… but your are still tight and feeling uncomfortable.

In this live demo, I walk Vanessa from Visalia Talks through a Muscle Activation Techniques session—showing how we improve motion and strength in real time without stretching and without pain.

🧠 The secret? It’s not about forcing a muscle to relax. It’s about finding the ones that aren’t doing their job—and reactivating them so the rest of your body can finally stop overcompensating.

In this clip, you’ll see:
✅ One side of her hamstrings is significantly tighter
✅ We test and find weakness in specific muscles
✅ We apply MAT to improve strength instantly
✅ She gains back mobility and is blown away by the result

💬 “That was instant.”

👉 This is what happens when we fix the root cause.

🎥 In this feature interview from Visalia Talks, I break down what Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is, why most people have never heard of it—and how it’s helping people finally move better and feel better, even after they’ve tried everything.

MAT isn’t massage. It’s not stretching. It’s a system to restore your brain’s ability to communicate with your muscles—so your body can move the way it was designed to.

In this video, we cover:
✅ What MAT really is and how it works
✅ The difference between treating pain vs fixing dysfunction
✅ Who benefits the most (hint: it’s probably you if you’ve “tried everything”)
