  • AthletePlus would like to congratulate Fred Ridgeway on becoming a Master Massage Therapist, which means he has completed a minimum of 125 hours of continuing education and may instruct massage therapy courses. Fred is also the only “MAT” certified massage therapist in Arkansas.
    MAT™ IS: A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO THE ASSESSMENT AND CORRECTION OF MUSCULAR IMBALANCES, JOINT INSTABILITY, AND LIMITATIONS IN RANGE OF MOTION WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY., A NON-INVASIVE TECHNIQUE, DESIGNED TO BALANCE THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM OF PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, and A UNIQUE SYSTEMATIC FORMAT USED TO “JUMPSTART” THE MUSCLES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FUNCTION WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.

“MAT” Muscle Activation Technique, was developed by Greg Roskopf and is recognized in the athletic world. The Roskopf Principles focus on muscle contractile efficiency relative to limitations. MAT™ can be a valuable tool for a wide demographic of individuals. If you suffer from any type of tightness or discomfort; are a regular (or not-so-regular) exerciser or competitive athlete; have trouble moving or keeping your balance due to aging or injury; have ever had any type of traumatic experience (such as a car accident or surgery) or injury (no matter how small); or want to be able to do what you currently enjoy doing for years to come, MAT™ may be of benefit to you!

Previously you would have to drive to Dallas or OKC for this treatment but now is available at AthletePlus.

Testimonials

Great experience. Always felt motivated to work my hardest and knew that the therapists were truly caring about my recovery.
M.D. - High school athlete with knee and ankle pain before AthletePlus
I almost didn’t come back after the first week of therapy because the pain was so bad but I’m so glad I did. My experience was so good with all of the therapy assistants. I felt they were very caring.
J.P. - Female with neck pain before AthletePlus
I was really pleased with the service at AthletePlus. The staff is professional and helpful. I felt comfortable asking any questions about the therapy and anything related to my injury. I felt at ease getting advice on how to adapt the routines so I could do them at home. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone.
32 yr old female with hip and SI pain
Overall a very positive experience. The staff has been very professional and have provided me with not just therapy, but a method to continue my work outside the center. All the exercises provided have been such that they can be integrated into my normal workout routine. This should allow me to work on any problems on my own in the future. I have been very pleased with the progress I made and with the program.
G.G. - Male with low back pain before AthletePlus
Very enjoyable. Instruction was concise and focus on my injury was expertly addressed. Chris let me describe in detail my injury and built a program specific to treating my issue.
S.W. - 42 yr old male with low back and neck pain before AthletePlus
Exceptional will be my word. First thing that comes in my mind.
E.E. - 73 yr old female after Total Knee Replacement
I feel that I have gotten stronger and I have learned what me weak areas are. I also think that I have learned some things that I need to avoid.
M.S. - 74 yr old female with SI and low back pain
Fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone and a nice friendly caring atmosphere. They will help you with what ever your needs are.
G.K. - 71 yr old male with hip pain before AthletePlus
Very helpful! It gave me the ability to return to my sport as soon as possible.
A.H. - 15 yr old female with ACL tear and surgery at AOS
My experience was very good and my physiotherapist was very informative. I am happy to come back here again after my knee surgery.
