As your Irvine Active Release Techniques providers, we are proud to offer the same technique that professional athletes, media personalities, and celebrities are raving about:
Teemu Selanne, Professional Hockey Player
"The last four years, this Active Release Technique I've been using has been huge. It gets the tightness out of your muscles and gets them back to the normal muscle length. The biggest difference between young and old is recovery time. I wish I'd known these things when I was 25." (OC Register)

Cole Hamels, Professional Baseball Player
"We have a lot of minor injuries that you can accumulate over time in the baseball season because we play 10 straight months. We don't really have too much time off to let the body heal. So you need to heal as fast as you possibly can and ART helps prevent those serious injuries."_______________________________________________________________________
"I first encountered ART in 2001 through Frank Shamrock, five-time middleweight Ultimate Fighting (UFC) champion. Frank had his first ART treatment in July 2001 following an acute lower back injury during training. He was unable to walk and didn't expect much:
'I had seen more than 30 chiropractors throughout the world over a 16-year period for lower back pain and numbness in my leg. With the training injury that prompted my visit, I couldn't raise my head above waist level, and I was sleeping on the living room floor in the fetal position. I had always been told one of two things by orthopedists and various MDs: I would need to have my vertebrae fused, or simply tolerate the pain of an injury that was irreversible. Based on past experience, I was certain that I would need to cancel the K-1 kickboxing fight I had scheduled for one month later.'
Frank Shamrock
In four sessions of approximately 10 minutes each, the doctors at the Janzen & Janzen Sports Health Clinic in San Jose, California, eliminated the cummulative scar tissue and adhesions that had created the pain in Frank's lower back. He was carried out of the gym on his trainer's shoulders on Thursday and was training at 100% the following Tuesday."

Milos Sarcev, Bodybuilder, former Mr. Universe
"I couldn't raise my arm over my head without pain, and this concerned me greatly." Milos says, "I'd exhausted all the usual tricks of the bodybuilding trade for coping with this type of injury. I changed how I performed my basic shoulder exercises, reducing the poundage and slowing the rep speed, particularly on the negative portion of each rep, but it hurt even to pose. That's when I began calling around for doctor referrals."Milos consulted with several orthopedic surgeons, and they all told him the same thing: that only surgery could resolve his problem. The surgeons were proposing the removal of the distal portion of his acromion, a procedure that would leave two 3 inch scars as well as deform the shape of his shoulder. This is what Milos was facing when he received the call of a friend, telling him about Active Release Techniques.
Milos describes his experience when he flew out to Colorado to be treated by the founder of Active Release, Dr. Michael Leahy. "Dr. Leahy asked me to perform a few rudimentary weight-training exercises while he observed. I did a few sets of lateral raises, incline presses and military presses. He then had me lie on the table and began performing a series of deep massage, manual manipulations on and around my right subscapularis (a rotator cuff muscle). After 5 minutes of this, he took me back to the weight room and I lifted without pain at 80% of my pre-injury capacity." Milos continues, "After one treatment I rebooked all my competitions and trained to be in the best shape of my life."

As mentioned on NBC
"I couldn't raise my arm above my head. I couldn't do a pull up. It affected my life and I went to see the doctor and he fixed me in no time...3 or 4 sessions and that was it."
