Sullivan, Provides Active Release Technique for the Runners At The North Face Endurance ChallengePublished: 2009-10-09 15:01:43Author: NOVA Chiropractic & Wellness Center | September 26, 2009Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) September 26, 2009
- From hamstring injuries, hip muscle tightness, foot pain, to lower
back pain, and falls from rocky terrain, Dr. Todd P. Sullivan of NOVA
Chiropractic & Wellness Center will be providing Active Release
Technique (ART) care to the runners at The North Face Endurance
Challenge in Washington, DC.
Dr. Sullivan provided Active
Release Technique for the runners at The North Face Endurance Challenge
on September 19, 2009. "With this race being an ultramarathon of up to
50 miles, the injuries we treated were much different from a typical
running race. The ultramarathon race and trail course caused more hip
and repetitive strain injuries and ankle sprains from a road race."
says Dr. Sullivan.
Active Release Technique is a state of the
art patented soft tissue technique designed to fix the injuries that
occur to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. ART can also be
used to increase the athletes performance by loosening up tight muscles
and preparing the athletes body for the race, because a tight muscle is
a weaker muscle. This technique is great at healing injuries that occur
from repetitive strain such as training for a marathon or ultramarathon.

Sullivan has served the Springfield & Fairfax County community
