WENT TO AN ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE SPECIALIST YESTERDAY.

[JETHRO TULL]

I have a torn muscle in my shoulder. The guy did a great job working on me. I felt good for the first time in 3 weeks. He is close friends with Doc Leahy who developed the ART technique. He immediately asked me if I knew who Milos Sarcev was! I have never met Milos, but I am a big fan and used to go to his board all the time just to check it out. Being friends of Doc Leahy's he had some negative things to say about Milos which surprised me.

I told the Doc that worked on me that the very reason I learned about ART was due to a story Milos had written about how trashed his shoulders were and that he was about to have surgury....but tried ART with great success.

I feel good right now and am going to do the recommended exercises. I would recommend going to see an ART guy if you get the chance.

My girl went in last year and all her troubles are gone.

I have been to different ones the first one in 2000 performed miracles on my shoulders...but we had problems getting deep enough in my delt to break up the tissue. The second one was more in to stretching and it didn't help much.
I needed to go more to see results but the first guy was a 90 minute round trip and I could only go on Fridays.

What helps keep my shoulders pain free and crack free now are the DC stretches after a delt work out.

All the stretches are here:

I am not advising people to perform these if injured and torn muscles but they are great for keeping my delts limber and tissues stretched.

I actually had a very small tear deep in my left cuff that took me 6 months to heal in 2001, I tired everything, ART, heat, ice, massage, DMSO, ibuprofen deca etc etc.
The only thing that worked was time off and my big silly ass was seen in the gym doing chest and shoulders on the smith machine one arm at a time.

good read and info..thanks

Great to try out different methods of fixing your body and helping it heal better and faster......

I go to a specialist that isn't a very big guy and he's all pitted out after working on me - HAHAHAHA. It's great, he does a double session on me and insurance covers all but about $17.

 

[JETHRO TULL]

LOL...YES! My doc is a smaller guy as well.

He had an assistant help him with me. The whole thing was quite painful. It did help though. I had some other minor stuff going on which he addressed. It cost me 125$. I just paid it out of pocket.

I was cracking and popping all over the place. Another nurse came back and was watching the whole thing. She was a cute little Asian gal who smiled at me a lot. I would like to think she was becoming sexually aroused....but she was probably thinking, "well look at this big dumbshit"! lol....

Oh and I weighed 280 yesterday. Life is good. I was appologizing for being so fat. I told them they probably hated it when big fat asses showed up at the office and needed worked on.....that nurse kept on reassuring me that I looked terrific. lol....I really liked her!

 

[xcelbeyond]

You better edit this before your Lynx see it

 

[Kahn]

C'mon JT

She was thinking you're compensating. You know what they say about us, big muscle, fast car, small pecker. 280 huh? What kind of car do you drive? HAHAHAHA!!! just messing with ya brother, everything I own is beefed up and fast. poor me

 

[JETHRO TULL]

kahn, I have no cash for making my truck faster!

I keep on spending all my money on food! lol...But, if I had money I'd beef that truck up to the gills! I have one of those Duramax Diesel pickups.

Xcel: Lynx saw the nurse...lol...so it's already too late! The gal followed me out to the waiting room, chatting, ....where she then saw my Jungle Cat! [stuff like that happens to her constantly...me, not so much!] lol.....It was nice to be appreciated though!

JT, What all can these ART therapists help with?
I am starting to have trouble in my right elbow and left shoulder. I need to see if my insurance will cover this, if not, its probably well worth it out of pocket. I am coming home every night and breaking out the ice pack.

 

[JETHRO TULL]

TBONUS...I AM NOT SURE ABOUT ELBOWS.

I AM GOING IN TOMORROW AND I'LL ASK HIM. I KNOW HE HAD TO ADJUST SOMETHING IN MY BACK THAT HE COULDN'T REACH FROM THE BACK CAUSE THE PELVIC BONES GET IN THE WAY...SO HE HAD TO GO IN FROM THE FRONT..THROUGH THE ABS....AND SHIT THAT HURT! LOL.....I'LL ASK HIM AND GET BACK WITH YOU.

What's this thread about?

I happened to be searching "asian" + "active release" + "sexual" and came across it. - CH

 

[JETHRO TULL]

Chorse...I'll try to get on that today!

Hopefully the nurse will release me! lol.

I got an appt tomorrow with the only certified guy I could find in Indy. He's about a half hour drive and only works in the city when he has a high-profile athlete to work on, so that eliminates this weekend warrior
