Runners' LoungeCast Episode 25: Active Release Techniques

This week we're going beyond talking about injuries; we're also discussing treatments for those pains, breakdowns, and setbacks.

A treatment gaining more acclaim by runners in recent times is Active Release Techniques or ART.   Just ask Frayed Laces as she recounted her last-minute treatment before running Boston last month.

ART combines very specific patient-assisted stretching with provider-applied pressure.  This combination is often able to permanently resolve difficult-to-treat conditions which respond minimally to stretching and massage alone.

This LoungeCast features Dr. David Krohse, a chiropractor specializing in ART.  In the interview, Dr. David explains how ART rapidly and predictably works on a wide range of injuries common to runners. 

Let us know what you think and what questions you have about this increasingly popular treatment for running injuries.
