This program is appropriate for those looking to refine an already healthy body, athletes looking to enhance their performance, or for those looking to completely change their body type. The goals of this program are long and short-term, looking for gradual but permanent changes that can be sustained over time. We will address your optimal weight and body type for your goals as well as your total internal health, immunity, stress and longevity. Once your body is functioning optimally it can metabolize more efficiently for your individual needs and continue to bring positive changes for years to come. The main goal of this program is to bring your body back to optimal health to increase the quality of your life now and in the future. Come prepared for some spring cleaning, you will set goals and sign a contract with yourself on these goals.

Active Release Technique (ART)
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, sciatica, achilles tendonitis, 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.

How do overuse conditions occur?
Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:

Acute injury (pulls, tears, collisions, etc),
Repetitive motion (over time causes micro-trauma & the accumulation of small tears)
Chronic tension (puts constant stress on the tissues, leading to hypoxia or oxygen deprivation).

Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.

What is an ART treatment like?
Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The practitioners’ hands are used to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. These treatment protocols (well over 500) are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient and to adapt the protocols to the patients needs. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.
