Was recommended to see Gunnar for MAT after dealing with chronic shoulder/neck pain and dysfunction for months that specialists and doctors couldn't figure out. MAT was the answer that got my body back to functioning properly and brought me relief! I recommend Gunnar to everyone that has nagging muscle issues when they tell me they have tried everything because MAT was truly life changing for me!

I was referred to Gunnar after I was struggling with back, hip and knee pain. I was weak and still in pain after completing weeks of physical therapy due to a fractured vertebra and bilateral hip impingement. I started with sessions of M.A.T. and moved to personal training. I have learned the correct way to use machines for weight training with noticeable differences. An example of this is that I started with 50lbs on the leg press and have met my goal of meeting 540lbs! Gunnar promotes a healthy lifestyle and helps me succeed in my training goals. The gym has more to offer than others and it's clean and convenient to use. Whether you're looking for pain relief, return to function, light exercise, or weight training, this gym offers it all.

I could not say enough positive things about working with Gunnar and his M.A.T. practices. After shoulder surgery on my labrum I had weekly sessions with him and had amazing progress. I was fortunate enough to have full range of motion back in my shoulder within months. I no longer feel like I have a "good" and "bad" shoulder, I attribute that to Gunnar and M.A.T. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I have been doing M.A.T. sessions with Gunnar for a few weeks now and have noticed a vast improvement in my injured shoulder that has been intermittently aggravated for a few years. I have already been able to resume most physical activities and it is nice to hear personalized advice of what to do and what not to do instead of the generic rest and ice protocol I would get from conventional physical therapy. He is definitely passionate about what he does and the results reflect that. I am also 5 weeks in doing personal training with Caleb, and I have already made considerable strength gains, as well as corrected some imbalances, and bad form and habits I have picked up lifting off and on by myself for 15 years. The muscle imbalance corrections have already made a substantial impact on my shoulder recovery and comfort in everyday movements. I highly recommend both of these services Gunstorm offers!

I have been dealing with chronic pain for the last 3+ years and was not until I tried MAT did I see real-time changes/relief that gave me hope for once that my pain would no longer take over my day to day routines. Between thousands of dollars put into chiropractic, PT, Massage therapy, etc nothing has ever worked as quickly as MAT. Gunnar has a true talent and I like that he truly takes the time to listen and educate. I like that I can go in for MAT and know that I will leave feeling immediate improvements that actually show.

Imagine having a lifelong muscle weakness in your core that didn't improve with two years of physical therapy. I started seeing Gunnar for MAT treatments two and a half years ago. Gunnar quickly discovered that my muscle weakness was neurological muscle dysfunction. During this time of MAT treatments I have not only had amazing improvement in my muscle function, but my hypermobility has also gone away. Because of the improvements in muscle function, I have also seen much better performance in my sports. The effects of MAT have been life changing, and I hope to continue to see improvements in my muscle function.

I was dealing with severe muscle imbalances after 2 rotator cuff and 2 hernia repairs and looking for a better treatment option than just more physical therapy. I started Muscle Activation Therapy (MAT) with Gunnar Boettcher at Gunstorm Muscle Health and within a short period of time I experienced more gains in physical activity than I did with years of physical therapy. I recommend Gunstorm Muscle Health to anyone seeking relief from physical ailments that you would otherwise seek from chiropractic or physical therapy care.
