At Rebuild Physiotherapy Ltd, we are always looking for ways to improve how we help you recover, move better, and live pain-free. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a cutting-edge addition to our toolkit—the MAT Muscle Meter! Whether you’re an athlete returning from injury, recovering from surgery, or managing chronic pain, the MAT Muscle Meter is designed to support you every step of the way.
But what exactly is the MAT Muscle Meter, and how can it help you on your rehabilitation journey? Let’s break it down.
What is the MAT Muscle Meter?
The MAT Muscle Meter is an advanced device that measures muscle activity and strength with precision. It works by quantifying the force your muscles generate during movements, allowing us to assess the function and strength of specific muscle groups. This data helps us gain deeper insights into your muscle health, ensuring that we can track your progress in real time.
Unlike traditional assessments, which rely heavily on subjective measures like how something “feels,” the MAT Muscle Meter provides objective data. This means we can identify exactly which muscles need attention and how to adjust your treatment plan to optimise recovery.
How Does the MAT Muscle Meter Enhance Your Treatment?
Accurate Assessment: The MAT Muscle Meter provides detailed readings that show how your muscles are performing. Whether you’re in the early stages of rehab or preparing for a return to sport, this objective information helps us tailor exercises and treatments to meet your exact needs.
Progress Tracking: Muscle strength and activity can vary throughout your rehabilitation. By using the MAT Muscle Meter regularly, we can monitor how your muscles improve over time. This not only helps us fine-tune your recovery program but also keeps you motivated by showing your progress in clear, measurable terms.
Injury Prevention: By identifying muscle imbalances or weaknesses early on, we can prevent future injuries. If your rehab process shows certain muscles aren’t activating as they should, we can adjust your treatment plan to address these issues, reducing your risk of re-injury.
Optimised Rehabilitation Plans: Every person’s body is different, and recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process. The MAT Muscle Meter allows us to create individualised rehab programs based on your muscle activity, ensuring you get the most effective treatments possible.
Who Can Benefit from the MAT Muscle Meter?
Whether you’re an athlete looking to return to high-performance levels or someone recovering from surgery, the MAT Muscle Meter offers invaluable insights. Some specific conditions that can benefit include:
Post-Surgical Rehab (e.g., ACL reconstruction, hip arthroplasty)
Sports Injuries (e.g., muscle strains, ligament tears)
Chronic Conditions (e.g., lower back pain, tendonitis)
Muscle Imbalances (e.g., weakness due to inactivity or overuse)

At Rebuild Physiotherapy, we believe in holistic, evidence-based treatment. The MAT Muscle Meter is a perfect complement to our existing services, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and strength training. By incorporating this advanced tool into your sessions, we ensure your rehab is data-driven and highly personalised.
