This technique is mainly utilized by chiropractors
because of the manual dexterity and anatomical knowledge required
to apply the treatment. Practitioners ofART®must go through training in order to be accredited and able
to practice this technique. There are many people who claim to practice the
Active Release Technique. However the only people who are legally
allowed to perform ART are those who have undergone rigorous
testing with Dr. Mike Leahy. in order to become a credentialed ART
provider. To remain qualified requires yearly re-accrediting
with hands-on evaluation by Dr. Mike Leahy. Before going to
anyone who claims to be anART®provider, it's recommended that you call Dr. Mike Leahy in
Colorado Springs to make sure that they are currently a
credentialed provider at719-473-7000
