Brant has been an athlete his whole life, including football, wrestling, boxing, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. With multiple surgeries, he knows both what it’s like to have a body run like a finely-tuned machine and what it feels like to be broken down.

Ten years ago, after feeling his body was ready for the scrap heap with all-day pain, Brant discovered Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT®). After becoming pain-free in one session he was immediately hooked and became a MAT specialist. Posturology, which dramatically improved his energy level and erased nagging pain, aligned his body posture and made improvements permanent. MAT® and Posturology are powerful, transformative techniques that are mainstays of Brant’s treatment protocol. When posture is aligned, so are your joints and muscles. As your body moves more efficiently it can lead to increased energy and reduced wear and tear.

Brant continues to investigate modalities that alleviate pain and enhance function.
