At every sports event there always seems to be about a dozen athletes who aren't sure they can race on that they have prepared so long to participate in. It may be a nagging knee, shoulder, pain, lower back or sometimes any injury that happened in the last two weeks of training but show up for the race anyway, hoping that a miracle will happen. There's no way that they will give up on their dream of finishing an iron man race or a marathon after months of sweat and miles of effort.
ART to the rescue! ART (active release technique) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves, headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar facilities, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common, they are often a result of overused muscles. Combined with the use of low level laser therapy (LLLT) to improve and short injury healing time, ART and LLT can greatly benefit both the weekend athlete and would class athlete. LLLT is found to stimulate something in our cells called the mitochondria which produces ATP or cellular energy. When stimulated properly this increases cell to proliferate and results in fast and stronger repairs to injured soft tissues.
