Paul Ciske, Paul Ciske, PhD, RTSM, MAT Oakland, CA
Dr. Paul Ciske received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in physiology where he studied the effects of chronic stimulation on muscle regeneration.
Twenty years later he continues to focus on neuromuscular stimulation as a Certified Master Level Muscle Activation Techniques Specialist. As part of this path, he has had a continuous interest in forces and their effects on the body. This interest led to an IDEA World presentation on Exercising Leverage as well as co-teaching courses with a physical therapist on Post-rehabilitation Training. He has also completed the testing and continues the lifelong process of the Mastery Level Resistance Training Specialist®.
Paul currently enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience through teaching Muscle Activation Techniques™ Jumpstart courses and RTS123 courses. He is also certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as both an Exercise Specialist and Program Director.
His other accreditations include: instructor of "Conscious Embodiment" and instructor of T'ai Chi Chih. Dr. Ciske is also the inventor of the patented CISKE Comfort Cushion, an adjustable and versatile cushion used to support the head, neck, and back.
