 What to Expect from Active Release Techniques®
An ART® appointment will be a combination of examination and treatment. Functional assessment of range of motion, strength and a biomechanical evaluation will be conducted.
- Patients can expect a minimum of a 20% decrease in pain symptoms or increase of ROM at the first 30 minutes of examination and treatment.
- ART® locates and treats the root cause of the problem.
- Many soft tissues problems can be resolved in 4 to 8 treatments.
- Expect biomechanical analysis and treatment of the problems with the problems kinetic chain.
- ART® brings permanent resolution to conditions that have been considered untreatable.
- The patient is educated with strech and or strengthening strategies to stop the condition from returning.
- Physicians can expect detailed reports of patient progress. Reports include: initial evaluation, examination, impression and treatment plan.
- Dave refers back to your physicians office upon completion of the treatment plan so your physician maintains control of your care.
Functional assessment and video recording of athletic activities and patient motion is utilized to analyze biomechanics to evaluate weakness or restrictive motion.
Enhancement of Sports Performance
Biomechanical analysis identifies weakness or restrictive motion.
ART® can help improve performance in any sport, from skiing, weight lifting, football, to running, cycling, golf, and swimming. Many competitive athletes suffer from a broad range of repetitive strain and stress related injuries, which can have tremendous impact on the time and effort required to perform an activity.
ART® practitioners perform a biomechanical analysis of athletes to determine where the restrictions and/or adhesions are located along the entire kinetic chain. ART treatments are specific and based upon the individual needs of each athlete. It is not a cookbook approach. We find specific tissues that are restricted and physically work them back to its normal texture, tension, and length by using various protocols.. It is not uncommon, after only a few sessions, to see a considerable improvement in the athlete’s best personal performance
