ART appointment today

[strong island]

I have an appointment today for Active Release Technique. I have been having pain and tightness in my shoulders(expecially when benching)...and elbow pain. Yesterday I couldn't even do skull crushers. Hopefully it helps ...definately worth a shot.

I'll let you guys know how it works out.

Get ready for some pain. My Chiro gives me ART treatments and I actually start to sweat while he's putting me through the movements because they hurt so bad. It feels great the day after the treatment though.

Good luck.

Definitely worth it. Felt a lot looser after the treatment. Won't know how well it worked until I workout. He wants me to come back Friday because I am benching on Saturday.

I went to Doctor Castro in Massapequa Park. He is a bodybuilder, so he knows his shit. Plus he has treated several professionals like Dorian Yates and Milos Sarcev.

He basically isolated the muscles of the rotator and stretched them. It hurts a little ...but it was a good hurt. Afer the treatment my shoulder didn't pop for about a half hour..but it came back. My shoulders pop when I circle my arms. That was the first time my shoulders didn't pop in about ten years. Even though it returned (I guess it tightened up again) the pops were not as loud. They have gotten loud over the last few weeks as my workouts have gotten heavier.

It is $65 for the first visit and $35 for followups.

I'll let you guys know how the treatments go.

Sound alternatives are always worth trying. If ART doesnt work for you look into prolotherapy, it worked wonders for my elbow tendonitis.

I used to get ROLFING...PAINFUL massage i think its similar to ART, but it costs way to much, was done at a SPA.... so im trying to find a local guy in NY to do some ART on me.

I also cannot find anyone who does PROLOTHERAPY in ny.. i would like to try that also.
