Brant has saved my life twice. Once, 7 years ago, I was hit by a car. With the way I landed, it affected my right arm - the one I use and need to work (computer). It was partially frozen. He used the MAT method (muscle activation technique), which was painful but very effective. I think I saw him for 2 months. I was healed forever. Recently, I hurt my left foot running, which has given me a very painful plantar fasciitis. But before this incident, my feet kept cramping and just being painful. I went to Brant yesterday with a list full of complaints. I didn't think that I would be 90% fixed but I was. Using his Posturology technique/methodology, he fixed the majority of my problems. I was misaligned, thanks to my hip. Fixing my problems with postural squares (I think that they are magnets - you put them at the soles of your feet), keeps me aligned and pain free. I have to also do eye exercises to keep me balanced. I'm going to continue going to him for a couple of Muscle Activation Techniques sessions, just to improve on my muscles and I should be good to go. If you are in pain and no doctor/specialist can/could help you, GO TO BRANT! You'll be happy that you did. Nothing is worse than living in pain or disease. I know! The difference between yesterday morning and yesterday evening put a smile on my face and put me in a good mood. read more

I thought I would have to live with pain for the rest of my life and was super skeptical of this work. It feels like magic. Brant can get me out of pain in one session. I'm more confident in my body then I've been in over 10 years. Highly recommend. read more

Brant Amundson has made a HUGE difference in the functioning of my 75-year-old body--and with amazing speed. He brings a profound level of focus and of caring, along with diverse skills, to his work. He has helped me more than all the doctors, acupuncturists and physical therapists I've ever known--singly and all together. WOW. Thanks. read more

I highly recommend Muscle Mechanics. the care and at home exercises have made a huge difference in my health and well-being.

Great postural analysis, good exercises and follow up treatment. Really cares about his clients. Definitely recommend

Brant has helped me through innumerable rehabs aches and pains etc. as well as keeping me in amazing shape as I get older. He is constantly updating and expanding his knowledge base on how to deal with a complete array of issues, injuries skeletal and muscular issues etc. He is also on my case every moment of a workout to make sure I do my best and regularly ups the ante as appropriate. He really thinks outside the box I've been meaning to post a review for some time but what really got me moving on it was our awesome workout this morning via FaceTime now that we are all (I hope) sheltering in place. I recommend Muscle Mechanic with the utmost enthusiasm! read more

Can't say enough good things about Muscle Mechanic. Brant totally tailors the session to my particular needs. He has eliminated pain and discomfort due to various ailments I've had. Sciatica, plantar fasciitis, shoulder injury--you name it. His knowledge of the body and how it functions is awesome! Plus he's also a great physical trainer as well. You have to find out for yourself! read more

Truly incredible what he does. I went to see Brant about some calf pain that I've had for almost a decade. Doctors told me I would live with pain in that area for the rest of my life unless I had a complicated surgery, that may or may not relieve the issue and put me at further risk. After only a few sessions with Brant, my calf pain is completely gone, and I walk much more fluidily. The techniques and approach Brant has to healing the body are cutting edge. I highly recommend the Muscle Mechanic, read more

If you're considering going to see Brant, you must! It's the best thing you can do for yourself. I was in a horrible car accident and had tried everything for 2 years (acupuncture, rolfing, chiropractor, massage, and physical therapy)! I went from being a rock and ice climber to not being able to walk. I began walking again but had a lot of pain. Brant has given me HOPE! I finally feel like I'm on my way to doing what I love. He listens, take it all in, and then figures out how to fix you. Did I mention I commute from Rhode Island to see him? SO WORTH EVERY PENNY! read more

Brant has kept me moving and healthy for many years. He is always changing up the routine, and he is. one of the best observers I've ever known. He truly watches you, and what he suggests is tailored directly for you. And besides which, he is fun, smart, and being with him is a pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend him for everyone. He's a former athlete and that keeps it even more fun. read more

Brant was awesome . i really learned a lot about my body and what was wrong with my posture which contributes to my muscle problems. i look forward to working with him in the future to fix the problems that i currently have. I highly recommend him for the M.A.T service , it was the best service I've had so far! read more

Being a Physical Therapist I can tell that Brant really knows all about the body. He did a very good assessment, I enjoyed his exercices, and most importantly in 2 sessions my back issues were gone. read more

Brant is amazing! As with many of his patients, I have atypical problems, and he always seems to know how to figure them out. I always seem to call him when I've run out of ideas, but am reminded each time that he should be my first call! read more

Brant worked with me for over a year and took me from having a difficult time getting out of a chair to playing basketball again . His process really improved all of my physical ailments thus created the momentum for me to create my own physical regimen. Without his expertise and guidance I would never have been able to live the healthy life I now enjoy . read more

I initially met Brant at a networking event and learned more about Muscle Activation Technique (MAT). He offered a free treatment. Well, anyone who knows me is aware that I jump at a free offer. It's part of what I refer to as "Barry's good deals" (the name thought up by Brant, by the way). I was amazed at the results after 1 session and immediately signed up for a package of 10. In conjunction with MAT, Brant became my personal trainer. We worked out together twice a week mixing it up with Pilates and straightforward hard core training. Because Brant was familiar with my body as a result of the MAT sessions, he was able to focus on the areas where I needed the most help during our training sessions and made sure to activate those muscles that needed to work better. Since I have worked with Brant over several months, my back and hip problems have dramatically improved. I have better posture and my body feels better overall. It's all thanks to Brant working with me. Brant is a master of his craft and he is also a terrific man. We have become good friends in the process. I respect and admire his work ethic and the quality of care he provides to all of his clients. I have referred friends to Brant and they have all come back to me to say how much he has improved their day to day body function and are grateful to me for the recommendation. I highly recommend Brant for MAT, personal training. He'll become a friend in the process. Cheers to you, Brant read more

I am SO grateful that my husband ran into Brant in the elevator! That's how we found out about him. And he's been a lifesaver! I had a back injury when I was 22 years old, got the lamest PT treatment ever, and never completely became strong again after that. At 26 yrs I tore my left miniscus, suffered a knee injury to my right knee 4 years later, and had foot surgery on my right foot 4 years after that. Finally, I gave birth to 2 children while in my 40s. All those traumatic events had left my body wrecked: even when I exercised and did yoga, I was still not pain free. I was a walking mess, and getting worse and worse. i had a wonderful chiropractor, but the root problems were not going away. After my first visit with Brant I was absolutely amazed: not only had we made significant progress in just one visit, but I retained the ground we had gained throughout the week. As we had a few more sessions I couldn't believe how much better I was feeling, how freely I was moving; balanced, aligned. Sadly, I then suffered 2 serious foot injuries in one year (!!) so my sessions with Brant were postponed until I could travel again (well over a year!) Since then we have resumed our sessions, and he has been amazing yet again! The long term foot problems left me body out of whack in every conceivable (and inconceivable!) way. Brant has worked thoughtfully and purposefully to tackle the pain issues, imbalance, muscle response (or lack thereof) and alignment as these issues have moved and progressed. His experience and wealth of knowledge are evident-as my situation is a serious challenge!-and he has been doing an incredible job of identifying the deep-set sources of pain and dysfunction, and treating them. It's my challenge to make sure that I am following up with my at-home exercises, but when I do, we make great progress. I am looking forward to a better spring and a great summer! Thank you, Brant!! read more

I started getting M.A.T. treatments from Brant about a year after I had a microdiscectomy/laminectomy at L5/S1. I had blown out a disc and had severe nerve damage and muscular atrophy throughout my left leg. After a long post-op PT I was still far from a normal performance level. I went to see Brant, and on the FIRST DAY had significant functional strength gains. The treatment was first class and amazing. M.A.T. is powerful stuff and he handles it with great skill - the results are immediate and lasting. If you are an athlete in need of serious rehabilitation or help in identifying past mechanisms of injury, this is absolutely your guy, but I can also strongly recommend him to anyone who needs help with range of motion and alignment issues. This guy has the touch. I credit him with being able to return to and sustain an activity level my doctors said would never happen. read more

Brant has changed my health and my life in more ways than I can possibly account for here. In my early 30's I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I was in constant pain in my knees and shoulders and was moving like a man twice my age. I started training with Brant after trying with several other trainers and I immediately saw improvement. He took the time and did the research to understand the disease and took great care in helping me to move again. My rheumatologist was literally astonished at the improvements we achieved in a year. When Brant started to study Muscle Activation Technique I was an enthusiastic participant during his course of study and have continued to see him during the years since. I have had migraines a couple times a month since I was in high school. I haven't had a migraine in at least 2 years. Through patient testing Brant was able to figure out the cause and within a month or two I no longer had migraines. Brant also helped me when I had surgery last year. Part of one kidney was removed and some major muscles in my back were cut through during the surgery. Brant worked with me before the surgery and I started seeing him again three weeks after. I was supposed to be out of work for six weeks but was able to return in four weeks. I credit Brant and MAT for my speedy recovery. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes the time to understand any health or personal issues that could be affecting the body. I never feel like he is watching the clock or not paying close attention to me when he is working. He cares not only about the work but about the person he is working with. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more
