Active Release Therapy – ART

A sequelae or consequence of doing CrossFit and pushing your levels of fitness can be aches, pains and even injury! Your body can take a beating from some of the intense work-outs we perform! This combined with your “regular life” and other stressors can break you down and result in micro-trauma, pulls, minor tears and inflammation – these can hurt and/or hinder your performance and work-outs! There are a number of simple strategies that can sometimes deal  with these issues such as Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (RICE) – some may require extra attention such as Active Release Therapy (ART). This is a very effective method or treatment modality that can quickly identify and treat these common issues – check out this article about ART and its founder:
