Joint pains are common among adults and can cause aches and soreness in areas where your bones meet. Pain in the joints happens when damage or disease affects the connections between bones. This can also be caused by an injury. There is a lot in between the bones in our bodies that can cause joint pain include cartilage, bone, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Tired of having bad posture and subsequent back pain? The Corrective Exercise Program is your answer. Our program ensures the correction of your posture to relieve common issues caused by bad posture. Our service is based on the principles of ergonomics that ensure the designing of human processes according to physiological and psychological processes.
If you work from home or at a desk for longer than 2 hours per day, you need an ergonomic evaluation. The assessment will identify whether or not your muscles, joints, and nerves are working together properly. An evaluation is conducted by a Muscle & Joints Specialist that looks at how the body is affected by movement and posture in relation to what your long-term tasks are during the day.
Weak muscles can be the main culprits for muscle pain in a body. Muscles, joints and nerves work together to ensure our bodies function properly and no injury or pain occurs. If you answer yes to any of these, give us a call to schedule an appointment or subscribe to our Mobile App for Posture & Back Pain.
Pain in the neck and shoulder can be characterized in a variety of ways. Some patients experience pain in the neck or shoulder as discomfort, while others suffer from pain in both places - to all levels of pain too. As a joint pain specialist, shoulder pain and neck pain are very common but may require treatment.

Scott is just amazing, his knowledge of human muscular system is impeccable. I was suffering from back pain over 3 years and none of the countless physiotherapy, chiropractic and sports medicine sessions helped.
I immediately saw benefits after my first two sessions and exponentially improved in the next five sessions. Scott constantly tests if you are improving and schedules exercises on the app in sync with your progress.
Overall I had a great experience.

This review is for Scott Lamb, the owner of Muscle Activation San Jose. More than 20 years ago I had a serious injury to both of my iliotibial bands (the lateral thigh muscles). Within several months I could barely walk. Despite seeing MANY physical therapists over the years, my pain never went away, and my right hip joint became increasingly immobile. These injuries resulted in more problems up and down my body as healthy muscles tried to compensate for the injured ones. This made walking, hiking, driving, sometimes just sitting, really painful, and I had many other injuries because of that. During

So I’ve been to a lot of chiropractic places. I have had back pain since I was young. Nothing ever helped, physical therapy, chiropractic, and hone remedies, stretching. Then I found Scott Lamb Kinesis Clinic.
My back pain is gone! I’ve been working with him for almost 2 years. Not only is my pain gone. I feel more limber and stronger after the visits. What he does is like magic. You can feel and see the difference after each visit!
Highly recommended before you ever spend anymore money on a chiropractic place.
He is nice, explains what he is doing. And will fix you and teach you how to

I recently made an appointment with Scott in hopes to fix some very serious jaw pain I had been having. After a few visits with Scott, not only had my jaw pain completely stopped, I also began to have relief in my neck and back. As a professional ballet dancer, I’ve seen many physical/massage therapists and what Scott has to offer is truly unique. Very pleased.

I found Scott through yelp, decided to give him a try. BEST DECISION I've made yet. I've been having a pain in my shoulder that just wouldn't go away. Scott was very informative! He also explained that I should be better by the 2nd or 3rd treatment. I've been to one treatment and I been solid since! For anyone who is a slight skeptical, DONT BE! Thanks for getting me back into shape for me to perform my everyday activities! Under promised, over delivered!!

I work in the same facility as Scott and he offered me an introductory session to Muscle Activation Techniques. I suffered from JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis), which affected my mobility in my hips so we focused on that area during the session. Scott made me feel super comfortable and explained everything he was doing. He helped find a problem that no chiropractor has ever even told me about, and started to correct the issue. I had already felt the results after the first session and was extremely impressed. I highly recommend Scott's services!

Two years ago I started experiencing hip pain that trailed down to my knee. I'm a runner and run 5 days a week. The pain came on gradually and I wasn't about to let it stop me from running. Sure enough the thought of "it will go away" came to an abrupt halt, when I ran through the pain and the next day, I could barely walk on that leg. I made an apt to seek MAT from Scott Lamb. He assessed my leg and went right to work. I couldn't believe the results from this one appointment, my pain had gone away, completely. I joke with him and say he works magic. I still run each day and the pain has not come

I went to see Scott concerning a debilitating shoulder injury from power lifting. I could not let it hang and kept me up at night. I was in excruciating pain. I went in and after one session with Scott I slept for the first time in months and the static pain was gone. Scott has put me back together and now I am back in full Lift hard and heavy mode. Having Scott in my corner allows me to push harder knowing I have someone that can address issues quickly and with great precision. He is constantly developing his craft and attaining new certifications to become an even better MAT practitioner to which

When I arrived here from a recommendation for an MAT, Scott was very welcoming and willing to speak with me about potential muscles issues I had in my body. I had a huge leg muscle injury around 7 months ago, and he did an amazing job fixing it up, and it feels better then ever! He also helped me understand the muscles in my body and ways we can work together to fix them as a whole. Scott is very knowledgeable in this line of work and I would always recommend anyone to him if they have any sort of muscle compensation, muscle tightness or joint pain!

My daughter originally went to Scott to help with recovery from ten years of competitive gymnastics injuries. She had ligament damage in her back and ankles, and traditional physical therapy was not helping. Scott and his MAT treatments helped her to become pain free and strong enough to join a dance team, which was important for someone used to being so physically active. He had so much success with my daughter, I decided to have him treat the chronic back and arm pain I'd been living with for a couple of years from my desk job, and I am happy to report that I am also now pain free.

I have had severe back pain for 25 years and have seen Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Orthopedists, Sports Massage Specialists, you name it, I've tried it all! This chronic condition has led to complications in my knees, ankles etc. Scott has been instrumental in getting my body to work as it was meant to after years of muscle fatigue and atrophy. I don't completely understand it all, all I know is that this "Muscle Activation Therapy" works. Scott knows what he is doing and is extremely thorough.

I really appreciated Scott's straightforwardness at the initial consultation regarding what he thought he could do to help me, as well as the potential limitations of MAT. I came in with a persistent knee problem brought on by 20 years of accumulated injuries and body misalignment. Over the years I have tried physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and rolfing, with limited results.
It took about 6 weeks before I saw significant improvement, but my knee has gotten progressively more resilient and able to handle the activities I love doing, like yoga, hiking, skiing, and even just a basic

I can confidently say that I trust him with all my pain needs! I'm very active, working out 4x a week and playing volleyball at least 3x a week as well and my body has always had issues. I hurt my low back 8 years ago and it's always been a constant struggle to be 100% whenever I'm playing or working out. My knee and shoulder has also been in some sort of pain or discomfort, but my sessions always provide me with so much relief after! I've seen many chiropractors and PT's and paid so much money for temporary relief

After experiencing exercise related back pain for over a year, I decided to give muscle activation therapy a try. This was after trying and finding temporary relief through other means, none of which eliminated the pain for good. I was completely skeptical, but from day one I was impressed with Scott's assessment and understanding of how the body works as a whole. I am happy to say that within a few months, Scott was able to fix the issues that were causing my back pain! Because I'm active, I continue to see Scott and he helps to manage any aches and pains that pop up. I would absolutely

I came to Scott after experiencing issues as a result of a toe surgery that created imbalances and compromised movement. As someone who exercises regularly and is active, I was frustrated by how it was affecting my performance. After only one session, I felt a difference and, after a few more, I can say I am almost back to where I was pre-surgery with corrected balance and movement. He was also able to treat another issue that arose recently, tightness in my traps. I would highly recommend Scott.

I highly recommend Scott Lamb. I have been going to him for sometime now. My trainer recommended him as I had many problems with my lower back and hips. I went to so many professionals and they could not fix it for me. Scott is the only one who knew what my problem was and I have excellent results from him. I continue to take his treatment every week as I am at the gym all the time and lift weights. He is excellent in what he does.

Scott is knowledgeable, skilled and experienced working with people of all ability levels. I came in with chronic lower back and within a few sessions he had me feeling fantastic. His initial assessment is very thorough so he can tailor a program that suits the specific needs of the client's body. No matter your goals Scott can help you get there faster and effectively.

Scott really understands how the body moves and works and can get your pain reduced quickly. I was in pain for several months with an aggravated A/C joint in my right shoulder and I could feel improvements in my range of motion and reduction in pain after the first session. I have done a total of 3 sessions and my shoulder is near 100% back to normal. If you're in pain and are having difficulty moving I highly recommend seeing Scott. I've done Chiropractic, acupuncture, and other PT for years, but I'm really glad I went to Scott. Will continue to see him just to prevent future injuries

Scott Lamb is the best personal trainer from San Jose to Campbell! Before my kids came along I was small, a size 0/2 my whole life. After 3 kids I struggled to get back to where I was and it was a roller coaster. It wasn't until I incorporated my nutrition with the fitness techniques Scott taught that I really began to see a difference in my body. It's been 2 years now of working hard and following his guidance. I recently competed and finished a SPARTAN RACE last October, something I would of never imagined doing. I was so terrified going into it. However during the race I felt

Whether it was a very specific martial arts movement I wanted to perfect or a more overall look I was trying to achieve, Scott's workout sessions proved to be very helpful. When you walk into the gym and get a comment (compliment) from the front desk person who notices you looking leaner since working out with Scott, that's very reassuring. I have seen a lot of other personal trainers train their clients at this gym and Scott by far seems the most thorough when it comes to making sure his clients get stretched. Over the years, the gym has incorporated new equipment that's been trending
