When it comes to restoring your body’s natural function, relieving pain, and optimizing performance, GetMATFit is exactly what you're looking for by the use of two powerful modalities; Neuroreceptor Therapy (NT) and Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). These innovative approaches focus on addressing the root causes of dysfunction within the nervous and muscular systems, delivering lasting results for athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone seeking to enhance their physical well-being.
Neuroreceptor Therapy (NT), also known as Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex, targets the nervous system to address faulty signals sent by neuroreceptors located in muscles, joints, organs, and connective tissues. These disruptions often lead to acute and chronic pain, limited mobility, or movement inefficiencies. NT works to identify and reset these dysfunctional signals, restoring proper communication between the brain and body. This precise, holistic and non-invasive technique helps alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and improve overall bodily function.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a specialized approach focused on identifying and correcting muscle imbalances that lead to weakness, tightness, and compensatory patterns. By targeting the communication between the brain and muscles, MAT reactivates inhibited muscles and restores balance across the body. This method not only relieves pain but also enhances strength, mobility, and athletic performance.
NT & MAT complement each other by addressing both the nervous system and muscular system:
NT: Focuses on resetting disrupted neuroreceptor signals to restore optimal communication between the brain and body.
MAT: Reactivates inhibited muscles and improves their ability to function effectively within a balanced system.
By combining these cutting edge therapies, GetMATFit can address the root causes of pain and dysfunction while enhancing the body’s overall performance and resilience.
When used together, NT and MAT offer a comprehensive solution for improving physical health:

While each therapy is effective on its own, combining NT and MAT offers a holistic approach that addresses the interconnected nature of the nervous and muscular systems. Together, these powerful therapies provide a precise, non-invasive, and lasting solution for pain relief, enhanced performance, and overall physical wellness.

Erik was introduced to Muscle Activation Techniques™ (MAT™) in 2014 through a fellow MAT™ Specialist who had been practicing since 2004. Recognizing the immense benefits of this non-medical approach—effective for athletes at all levels as well as non-athletes—he quickly immersed himself in the field. After completing the MAT™ internship, Erik became a certified specialist and went on to establish GetMATFit. He currently resides in Colorado Springs, CO, with his wife, dedicated to helping individuals regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their daily activities through MAT™.
In 2019, Erik expanded his expertise by pursuing Neuroreceptor Therapy, also known as Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR). After three years of intensive study, he successfully completed the curriculum in 2022.
Erik’s career began as a Strength and Conditioning Coach at the collegiate level before moving into professional sports with the New York Mets. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Movement Science from the University of Oregon (2002). His athletic journey started at Lane Community College (Eugene, OR) and continued at Rockford College (Rockford, IL), where he played baseball. In 2004, he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA.
In 2006, Erik transitioned from professional sports to entrepreneurship, founding RedLine Athletics, a rapidly growing youth athletic training franchise. He played a key role in developing training protocols and systems, serving as Vice President of Sports Performance for RedLine Athletics Franchising and Director of Sports Performance for RedLine Athletics Colorado Springs. He remained with the organization for over 10 years.
In 2017, Erik and his wife launched Ground Up Sports Performance in Colorado Springs, where they served as co-owners and held roles as General Manager and Office Manager.
With a lifelong passion for performance, rehabilitation, and movement optimization, Erik continues to dedicate his expertise to helping others achieve a higher quality of life.
