their performance continuum. Simply put, they help people improve their performance.

There are different portals on why people visit Johnny and Michelle at PHP. Some people may have discomfort when exercising, another may not be making any progress during their strength workouts despite training harder, and others may not be able to lose weight effectively. The partners see everyone as a potential client, as they work with all individuals in addressing their specific needs.

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a bio mechanical evaluation done manually. It identifies muscle weakness in a very specific detailed manor. Once those weak muscles are identified, a set of manual techniques are used to restore the contractile capabilities of those muscles. These techniques are the only discipline that provides instant feedback from the patient, as it relates to results. Sometimes the diagnostics are incorporated into the training sessions and Cooke constantly tests his work to ensure that he’s on the right track. His belief is that leaving anything to assumption does not lead to the desired outcome. They work with clients ranging in age from 13 to 93, including professional athletes. The academia behind them provides the science and knowledge to customize a plan for anyone.

Cooke has treated the extremes when it comes to clients. He is proud to have helped one person regain his independence after he became seriously ill from viral encephalitis that caused serious motor problems. He was also able to help a professional athlete improve his performance on the field and raise his football stats. Although those are two extremes, most of his clientele are the average everyday person that wants to improve their golf game, or someone that wants to lose body fat and gain strength. “There is not one type of person that we have more strength for than the other, as far as our skill set is concerned,” says Cooke. So if you’re looking for solutions to your exercise and/or physical challenges, then PHP is a smart place to start.
