First Time Patients

Your First Time Appointment

Loose fitting clothing or athletic wear is recommended for your ART treatment.  

Be prepared to report the history of your symptoms to the best of your ability.


Your first ART appointment will be a combination of assessment and treatment. After receiving a  thorough history, as a NSCA certified personal trainer Dave assesses your function, strength and joint range of motion. As an ART provider, Dave evaluates  the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves.

Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. A fitness program may be designed to achieve your personal goals.

Active Release Techniques is not massage therapy or rolfing. The patient is fully clothed during the ART treatment.
