It has been quite the endeavor, but I have finally passed all three parts to complete the full body Certification through Active Release Techniques.  I can honestly say it was quite a memorable experience as well for multiple reasons.

Being at ART Headquarters, we had a chance work with the founder of the Technique Dr. Michael Leahy who had just completed an Ironman weeks before, so we had a chance to practice on him after such an intense race. Speaking of the location, ART headquarters overlooks Pike's Peak and a vast mountain range , the view is quite stunning that we enjoyed daily. Unfortunately,  we got a heavy snow storm which made it not so pleasant walking to class from the nearby hotel, but was worth it.

The lower extremity certification can help with issues such as plantar fascitis, meniscus injuries, strain and sprains of the leg, thigh and foot, compartment syndrome, sciatica, and many more entrapments and injuries. Injuries that I would see on a consistent basis during my practice.

With becoming full body certified, this now allows me to continue further within the ART family taking their extra classes, however this may be a little down the road. Why? Well my next certification to be complete is the Medical level from Titleist Performance Institute. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it and learning even more not only about golf specific rehab, but to just be a better golfer myself. I should have some further updates shortly on my next adventure and hopefully an improved golf game.

Best of Health,
