ART by Dr. Stanfield

 

ART is an art in itself.  Dr. Stanfield has been getting phenomenal results using this myofascial technique.  ART is the acronym for Active Release Technique.  Specifically at Integrated Health and Wellness, Dr. Stanfield has worked with numerous neck and lower back patients/athletes improving their function of life! 

I wanted to share a bit more of the history and how A.R.T works. 

ART has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems.

The basic premise is simple, just not easy. Shorten the tissue, apply a contact tension and lengthen the tissue or make it slide relative to the adjacent tissue. It's as simple as playing a piano and just as difficult.

ART 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 fasciitis, 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.

Patient Appreciation Day - June 2011

We had an awesome turn-out for the "Adjust for Food".  Patients were able to participate in ear candling, recieve 10 minute massages from Amy, have A.R.T. performed on the neck, arms, and upper back, and last, but not least, enjoyed Fiesta Fruit Salsa, Sopapia's, and Spicy Fruit Punch. 

Established patients can refer their family members, friends, and co-workers in for an consultation and evaluation for exchange of canned goods or dry good items to be donated to the McPherson County Food Bank.

Do not miss out on the next Patient Appreciation Day.  It will be announced soon!
