Core Muscle Activation

Expérience fantastique: Muscle Activation Therapy is essential to your overall physical maintenance suite, in my opinion. Kind and knowledgeable professionals. Note: parking can be a bit tight.

Expérience fantastique: Everyone at Core is amazing. MAT is has changed the functionality of my body dramatically. Stephen works wonders with MAT Rx to help me use my muscles the way they were intended to be used. Complete game changer! Chantell is always so wonderful and helpful in booking us in. Joan’s Pilates sessions are exactly what my body needed to level up. Our family has nothing but love and gratitude to the entire Core team! Miigwech (Thank You) CORE!!!

Expérience fantastique: I have been a client at CORE for more than a year. I have irreparable damage to my hip that compromised my walking. I am now at a point where I have regained an almost completely bilateral stride. We are still working on endurance. I have been able to continue attending my martial arts classes throughout my therapy. This is particularly important as my engagement with this particular sport is quite high. The curiosity I have about how to improve my performance keeps me active and the activity maintains my strength, flexibility and overall health. The close ongoing partnership with Sue-Anne, my therapist, has kept my morale up and encouraged me to maintain the recommended supportive exercise regimen. The fact that we are actually training my musculature to support my walking and not just compensating with periodic temporary relief is most encouraging. At 80 the temptation to just sit down is strong. My relationship with my therapist and the readily available advice keeps me going.

Expérience fantastique: After incurring a back injury in 1978, and then subsequent surgeries, the first of which left me worse off, I have tried just about every form of treatment out there. My chiropractor had been suggesting CORE for a few years to try, and I finally did so about 18 months ago. All I can say is that I am so thankful for that advice. Stephen at CORE has been awesome. I have had better results with my pain management in a much shorter time than any other forms of treatment and am so grateful to him, as well as Eric for his guidance in my treatment program. My life is so much better than it was. I still experience pain, which will be with me forever, but it is so much less than it was prior to seeing the great folks at CORE Muscle Activation. Thanks!

Expérience fantastique: Core Muscle Activation and eric are second to none! I’ve been seeing eric for 20 years. I use to live with chronic horrific back pain. After almost a year of solid treatments eric got me OUT OF back pain. I Will be forver grateful. I now live with no pain but continue to see eric every 2 months to make sure all is ok with my body. He ROCKS! Truly the best of the best. dana mclaven

Expérience fantastique: The team is extremely kind and deeply understand what you need to be done to feel healthier and active (back on track). Even if this science is young and not really known after trying physio, chiro etc… I never got results like that in a such short time. The other therapy never improved and fixed my issue from years. I am a Musician Performer and as an athlete needs my body to work properly from head to toe. MAT is definitely the best I ever experienced and will continue so as it support my career in a very positive way. I got rid of lots of “dysfunctions “ such as numbness, low energy and non fonctionnal muscles issues. This science gives you a clear knowledge of your muscles roles and how to make work them properly. I also brought my first child there who is doing figure ice skating and ballet .I never felt healthy as I am today and can give more than 100% into my expression of art, music and motherhood. Thank You MAT!

Expérience fantastique: I have never felt stronger in my life (well maybe in my early 20's). Stephen has really helped me get the physical aspect of my life back on track.

Expérience fantastique: CORE has made a huge difference in my everyday life, and has contributed to my longevity. I used to suffer chronic lower back pain, which made it very difficult to function as a surgeon. I had horrible posture and restricted mobility. Stephen is my therapist, and with the use of MAT Rx he has brought me back to life. Now I function at a physical level similar to my kids who are adolescents and very active. Before and after pics included here. Thanks for everything.

Expérience fantastique: After seeing multiple physio therapists (and sports doctors) to fix my knee pain, no was able to identify or treat the issues. Then I went and saw Stephen, who made a world of difference. ⭐️ Not only was he able to quickly identify and treat the issue, but he actually FIXED it altogether. I went from barely being able to walk without pain, to setting new personal records for weight lifting. I highly recommend Stephen.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff, very friendly. Stephen has helped me out a lot, my back and shoulder problems have greatly improved since going to Core. I used to no be able to raise my right arm above the shoulder and now I have unimpeded full range of motion. As well as helping a lot with my recurring back problems.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been seeing Stephen since we were both in the Markham area - maybe 10yrs? MAT has been a life changer for me, and even though CORE is an hour away these days, it’s absolutely worth it. In fact all the practitioners and the admin team are amazing - friendly, knowledgeable & always welcoming. Highly recommended!

Expérience fantastique: If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! Every team member at CORE are incredibly knowledgable, kind and professional. I can’t recommend them enough!

Expérience fantastique: A++ all around. And everyone there enjoys their work

Expérience fantastique: If it wasnt for MAT i would’ve lost hope. Ive tried all modalities throughout my career & find MAT had been the most effective until this date. I had suffered from shoulder, knee and low back injuries. Thanks to the team for getting me back on my feet. 10/10 stars highly recommended

Expérience fantastique: I LOVE THIS PLACE. Core has been my go-to for over ten years, initially with Ian, and now with SA. Even after ten years, the treatments are still magical. My story will always be about that one summer when I never had an injury because I committed to pre-tournament tune-ups. It is also always a pleasure to interact with the Office Manager….she is the best!

Expérience fantastique: Joan Baker is an absolute gem! Incredibly professional, knowledgable about fitness, pilates and overall core health. I feel incredibly blessed to work with Joan, for restorative pilates. I would highly recommend Joan to everyone who is interested in pilates.

Expérience fantastique: LIFE CHANGING!!! I highly recommend Core, Eric and the Team! Amazing.

Expérience fantastique: Best place ever! Have been going since I was three years old, I am now 22. I was born with low muscle tone and they taught me how to walk when I had no strength. I also grew up with scoliosis. This places saved me from getting a back brace and a spinal fusion. My life would be completely different without them. Highly recommend!! The staff are all amazing!!!

Expérience fantastique: I initially came to see Matt Verboom , trainer and MAT therapist for persistent shoulder discomfort and we used MAT treatment and exercise to address it. I stayed because I found him to be an excellent fitness trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive and takes the time to understand my needs and goals. He always challenges me, I learn so much about exercise science and mechanics (why and how) from him, and I would highly recommend him.

Expérience fantastique: Sue Anne is an extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient therapist. She has taken the time to truly understand the reason for my neck pain and has worked with me to help me to overcome it. Also, the clinic itself and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. It is a great place for rehab of all kinds.

Expérience fantastique: Eric is truly one of a kind . He was the only person who was able to fix my knee, hip and back problems that I was suffering for over 7 years. The clinic is amazing and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much for everything.

Expérience fantastique: Knowledgable, friendly and efficient.

Expérience fantastique: Wish I knew about Eric and CORE muscle activation sooner!! I can’t highlight that enough. I came in walking on an angle with lots of pain from a major back injury and left on the road of recovery and haven’t looked back since. There is reason why athletes see this man. He is no joke and worth every dollar. If I knew about him sooner I would have saved so much money seeing useless practitioners prior to him. MAT therapy is revolutionary for helping injuries heal. Eric takes the time, explains and gives your information to put into practice in your day to day life. He doesn’t want you to be reliant on him, rather build your self with tools to be healthy and protecting you’re body so it doesn’t think with an injured mind. I also have to say his receptionist/right hand Ms Chantell is a gem to deal with. If I have an emergency episode she is patient, empathetic and does everything in her power to squeeze me in. She is what every business needs at the front line. Thank you to Eric and Chantell and the core team, you’ve seen me at my worst and now at my best! I’ll be always a client of yours and I couldn’t recommend a place more

Expérience fantastique: Eric, Chantell, and the rest of the staff are professional and extremely friendly. I am having better recovery results from seeing this team than another physiotherapist. Would highly recommend if encountering any pain you need to see someone in this clinic.

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend Core MAT! I have been working with Matt Verboom now for a few months and have already noticed quite the improvement in my lower back, which has been a lingering problem of mine over the past 13 years. We have focused on core strengthening and stability, while incorporating strength training to help build my body back to where it should be. The entire staff at Core is extremely helpful and positive, starting with Chantell at the front desk and spanning through the entire clinic. As a whole I could not possibly think of a better environment to help you with your personal goals. 5/5 without a doubt!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff and trainers! These guys know their stuff. If you have any pain or discomfort, contact Eric - he's not just the best in the business, he's also a GREAT and super knowledgeable guy!!

Expérience fantastique: MAT has been a critical piece to my rehab from a mystery injury that lingered as I went from second in the USA national level to out of action for over 8 months. Since Sue -Anne has been working with me, I have been injury free while back in race form and qualified for the 2020 Olympic team trials. MAT has played a critical role. Eric and his staff are welcoming to all, friendly and knowledge. Highly recommend trying!

Expérience fantastique: Wish I could give more stars to the folks at Core. Ian is an absolute miracle worker! My husband had been living with constant back pain and minimal mobility for the last three years, and has been on short-term disability twice in the last year. He's undergone months of twice-weekly sessions with chiropractors and physiotherapists, and even had back surgery three months ago - all with zero improvement! He was depressed and had resigned himself to being disabled for life, which made life with two young boys very difficult. It's hard to believe unless you've seen the results for yourself, but after just one visit with Ian, it became obvious that his thorough and unique approach was going to yield some relief. Now after the second session, my husband is a new man - he's smiling and joking again and has a positive outlook of his future. Better yet, Ian is confident that the next (third) session will likely be enough to resolve the issuew. Ours is a common experience with Muscle Activation Technique - I can attest to this, since we were referred to Core by my colleague who had a very similar story. If you've been living with pain, don't waste your time and money elsewhere - definitely START your recovery with a session at Core. PS - This is not an ad or paid endorsement - just the experience of a very grateful family <3 :)

Expérience fantastique: Core MA is the place to go when you need to get those weak muscles working again. Using a Range of Motion assessment the practitioner will find weaknesses that lead to compensation. With manual pressure and isometric positional testing, these weak muscles can be “sparked” back to action making movement easier and addressing the source of problems which can create pain and discomfort if left unattended. This is an essential treatment for everyone from elite athlete to post surgical/injury rehab. Check it out!

Expérience fantastique: Ian Murray's MAT is always highly effective

Expérience fantastique: MAT is amazing

Expérience fantastique: If I said miracle it would discredit the science behind it. M.A.T. was incredibly effective for me. Two sessions and my pain was almost completely gone, drastically increased my mobility and my strength training numbers have shot up! I was amazed.

Expérience fantastique: One session was better then 2 months of physio. Highly recommend Eric!!

Expérience fantastique: Go see Ken, he'll fix you right up!
