Understanding Sports Injuries

Why Athletes Choose ART

Sports injuries — from acute muscle strains to chronic overuse conditions — almost always involve soft tissue damage. When muscles, tendons, and ligaments are injured, the body creates scar tissue to repair them. But this scar tissue often causes more problems than the original injury.

Adhesions bind tissue layers together, restrict range of motion, compress nerves, and create compensatory patterns that lead to secondary injuries. Traditional rehab strengthens around these restrictions without ever removing them.

ART is the gold standard for athletic soft tissue treatment. Used by NFL, NBA, NHL, and Olympic medical teams, ART directly removes adhesions — accelerating recovery time and restoring full athletic performance.

Recognizing the Signs

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, these are the sports-related conditions ART resolves.

Muscle Strains

Pulled or torn muscle fibers from overexertion — hamstrings, quads, calves, and groin are most common.

Tendinitis

Overuse inflammation of tendons — Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, and forearm tendons.

IT Band Syndrome

Lateral knee pain from IT band friction, common in runners, cyclists, and hikers.

Impingement Syndromes

Pinched tendons or nerves in the shoulder, hip, or ankle from muscle tightness.

Overuse Injuries

Chronic conditions from repetitive training stress — stress reactions, compartment tightness, nerve entrapments.

Post-Surgical Adhesions

Scar tissue that develops after surgery, limiting range of motion and causing secondary pain.

The ART Approach

How ART Treats Sports Injuries

Active Release Techniques directly addresses the scar tissue that limits recovery and athletic performance.

Assess the Injury

Cory performs a comprehensive hands-on evaluation — testing range of motion, tissue texture, and nerve function to map the full extent of adhesion involvement.

Treat the Adhesions

Using sport-specific ART protocols, Cory applies precise tension while you perform directed movements — breaking apart scar tissue and restoring tissue glide.

Accelerate Recovery

With adhesions removed, the body can complete its healing process properly. Range of motion returns, strength improves, and you get back to your sport faster.

Your Visit

What to Expect During Treatment

Consultation & Assessment

Cory begins with a thorough evaluation — testing range of motion, identifying trigger points, and locating the exact soft tissue structures involved.

Targeted ART Treatment

Using one of 500+ specific protocols, Cory applies precise tension while you perform directed movements. Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes.

Progressive Improvement

Most patients notice improvement after the first session. A typical treatment plan of 3–5 visits resolves the condition. No drugs, no surgery, no downtime.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do professional athletes use ART?+

Yes. ART is used by medical staff of NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB teams, as well as Olympic and Ironman triathlon programs. It's the gold standard for athletic soft tissue treatment.

How soon after an injury can I start ART?+

ART can be used as soon as the acute inflammatory phase subsides — typically 48–72 hours after injury. Early treatment prevents excessive scar tissue formation.

Can ART help with chronic injuries?+

Absolutely. Chronic injuries often involve extensive adhesion buildup that the body cannot resolve on its own. ART is specifically designed to break apart these established adhesions.

How many sessions will I need?+

Acute injuries often resolve in 2–3 sessions. Chronic conditions typically need 4–6 visits. Cory will give you an honest assessment after your first evaluation.

Can ART prevent future injuries?+

Yes. By maintaining healthy soft tissue through periodic ART treatment, athletes can prevent adhesion buildup that leads to overuse injuries. Many athletes use ART as part of their regular training program.
