Triathalons are extremely difficult
training and events that challenge athletes at both physical and mental levels.
In the Ironman Triathalon, competitors
swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles and run a full 26.2-mile marathon.
Participants range from 18-80 years of age and come from over fifty
countries.
The extreme training places a
great deal of stress on the body, and athletes suffer from a broad
range of injuries, as well as over-use stresses.
Iroman, half ironman, olymic and sprint events are held all over
the world. For the past few years, ART practitioners have been working
at ART clinics in the Ironman Triathalons.
Their participation has resulted
in better performance, times, and greater number of athletes completing
this incredible event.

Triathlete suffer from a broad range of repetitive
strain and stress related injuries. The difficult training causes
muscle restrictions due to adhesion formation, and results in numerous
types of injuries.
Trained ART practitioners perform a biomechanical
analysis of athletes to determine where the restrictions are located
along the entire kinetic chain. ART treatments are specific and
based upon the individual needs of each athlete. It is not a cookbook
approach to treating a non-specific diagnosis.

ART® finds the specific tissues that are restricted
and physically works them back to its normal texture, tension, and
length by using various hand positions and soft tissue manipulation
methods.
Once the soft tissue (ligaments, muscles, blood vessels,
fascia and nerves) has returned to its normal state, specific exercises
are prescribed.
Unlike most therapies, ART® does not require extended
periods of rest before you notice results. You usually see significant
improvements to the injured area after only two to three sessions.
It is also not uncommon, after only a few sessions,
to see a considerable improvement in the athlete’s best personal
performance.
