Born and raised in a small farm town in Highland, Illinois, Stephen earned his bachelors degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University.  As a personal trainer and seeing joint dysfunction as well as muscle compensation, he looked for a deeper answer for himself as well as his clients.  Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) became a great tool to access and corrects the muscular imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction.  Stephen is now learning the LifeLine Technique from Dr. Darren Weissman and beginning to incorporate that with some of his work.  He also plans to attend chiropractic school in the near future.

Stephen Spencer is also a biomechanics consultant for several other personal trainers, corporate fitness facilities, and gyms.  He lectures at Chicago area doctors offices, support groups, and personal training studios.

"If you want to increase sports performance, strength, speed, range of motion (ROM), and then decrease pain in minutes, MAT can help!!!  Address the muscles that have lost connection with the nervous system to create stability in the joints and the body will give you all the (ROM) you need".
