ART
Posted in Racing, Training by Juli FioccaDr. Laurie Buob specializes in Active Release Techniques (ART) in Austin, Texas. I recently spent some time with Dr. Laurie.
What is Active Release Technique?
Dr. L: 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.
Who needs ART?
Dr. L: A wide spectrum of people can benefit from ART: anyone who has pain to those who would like to improve their performance, prevent injuries, and support general fitness goals
Why see an ART specialist even without a specific injury?
Dr. L: Add ART as part of your regimine to improve performance, prevent injuries and support a healthy lifestyle. As a sports chiropractor my care is based on the idea that the musculoskeletal system and the body’s overall health and function are closely related. I manipulate the spine, joints and soft tissue with the goal of reducing or eliminating pain, maintaining or improving function of my patient’s body. As a Sports Chiropractor I specialize in the treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. I am focused on injury prevention, rehabilitation and injury management. Whether you are a CEO, a stay at home mom or someone who is going to compete in an Ironman, if I can help you achieve a greater level of strength and resiliency – a huge advantage. As an athlete – or an everyday athlete – pursuit of fitness through activity is more fun without unnecessary pain. When you are free from your discomfort or pain and leave empowered to fulfull your physical potential, you win!
How is ART different from other treatment methods?
Dr. L: ART is fast and effective. Patients who see other professionals only receive temporary relief a solution to their problem. I treat the cause not the injury and it does not take me any more than 6 to 10 visits on average. By combining ART and Graston I have seen my treatment visits drop and patients returning to their activity pain free.
