About the Specialist

My name is KatieBurdick. I am practically a Colorado native, but to real natives I am still not even close! I was

born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but raised in Colorado since the ripe young age of 2 years old. I’m also a little bit

of a Colorado-hypocrite. I’m not a big snow boarder/ skier, and I don’t enjoy hiking all that much. My true passion is running- any place, anywhere, any time. It’s my passion for running that led me to find Muscle Activation

Techniques TM in fact.

​

When I was in high school my running addiction really took off, however, I knew little about training and 

conditioning and even less about how to listen to my body. Consequently, I kept running when I should have 

stopped and ended up with a case of shin splints that I couldn’t shake. After about 7 months of trial and error,

I heard about MATTM from a family friend. After a month of MATTM treatment my shin splints were gone and taken care of and I’ve been a believer ever since.

​

My fascination for kinesiology and anatomy stemmed from that experience and MATTM became a fascination that I always wanted to explore. I carried that fascination with me to college and decided to study Exercise Science and Adult Fitness at Metropolitan State University of Denver. While in my final year of college, I decided it was time to learn about the technique that helped me so much and enrolled in the Muscle Activation TechniquesTM Specialist Program in Englewood, Colorado. I graduated college and got certified as an MAT Specialist in August of 2017.

​

Since then, I have opened Made to Move as my own practice in MATTM and continue to grow in the never-ending education that is human anatomy. I have had experience both growing my own business full time as well as working in other recovery and training facilities along the way. I have worked in chiropractic clinics as well as a former practitioner at Panorama Wellness and Sports Institute in Highlands Ranch for over three and a half years. Now, I am a MAT RX Full Body Specialist and am focusing all my efforts into growing my own practice full time at Colorado Fitness Head Quarters in Centennial. 

​

It’s my goal to help people who are in the same situation as I was- in pain with no way to be rid of it- as well as educate those people in order to eliminate future injuries. MATTM is a fantastic tool that has changed so many people’s lives and I am excited to share this technique with so many people to help them overcome their physical obstacles and achieve their fitness and health goals.
