Born and raised in a small farmtown in Highland, Illinois, Stephen earned his bachelors degree in Exercise Science at Illinois State University &  his Doctorate in Naturopathy from Clayton College.

As a personal trainer and seeing joint dysfunction as well as muscle compensation, he looked for a deeper answer for himself as well as his clients. Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) became a great tool to access and corrects the muscular imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction. As Stephen continued to learn, he added many other techniques to his treatments. It was finally ABC then that had all the answers to structural health care and was able to truly promise every thing that it claimed to do consistently and predictably. 

Stephen Spencer is also a biomechanics consultant for several other personal trainers, corporate fitness facilities, and gyms. He lectures at Chicago area doctors’ offices, support groups, and personal training studios.
