If I lived anywhere close to there I’d make an appointment. He looks like he knows what he’s doing. Can you recommend anyone in the Texas Panhandle?

I figured out that ART is what I really need.

There is a chiropractor in Lubbock: Dr. McAlpin who uses ART.

I’m happy to say Dan has helped me AND my bf. :) I had major foot pain, and nothing helps relieve my issues like ART. My boyfriend had shin-splints & even though he iced and rested his legs, nothing worked except for Dan’s diagnosis and treatment of his calves! Dan’s a god-send. :)

Well he looks like he is a good practitioner, but technically speaking, it’s called ‘active’ because the patient causes the movement themself, rather than having the practitioner do it for them.
This allows the patient to self-govern the speed and hence pain of the treatment.

@bushidobadboy
technically speaking you are still incorrect as there isn’t one protocol that require them to move actively.
July 15th, 2009 - 15:48
Well yes there is, that’s why it’s called ‘active’ release, not passive. But maybe we misunderstand each other ;)

“This allows the patient to self-govern the speed and hence pain of the treatment.”
You make it sound like this is how all of ART is and that is false. There isn’t one protocol that purely involved the patient doing the movement. Its an appropriate way to employ the technique however its quite rare to see a practitioner employ active patient movement as a standard. The results aren’t as high as having an assistant passively lengthen the isolated muscle.

Fair enough; I guess you know more about this than I do. So, out of curiosity, why isn’t it called ‘passive release therapy’ then?

this is passive- the patient needs to activate the muscle by giving resistance when he is pushing from 1:14 for hamstring.

That is not correct. This video was not meant to teach the technique. Most techniques are active , some are passive. You need to attend the seminars to properly learn the technique.

Yeah, techinically the patient should be actively bringing the hip into flexion rather than the therapist/doctor, but the active component and purported specificity is what separates this technique say from “normal” massage. Also, Graston technique is another soft tissue-based treatment protocol that uses specialized stainless steel instruments that, IMHO, is more effective in treating tendon and fascial conditions.

technically speaking, wow what a babe!

Your interpretation of the technique is wrong. This is not PNF, so no resistance is needed. In fact, the active motion occurs when the patient flexes at the hip, not extends.
