Dr. Jeffrey Larkin to Speak on Active Release Technique

As a personal trainer and boot camp coach I put my body through it's paces day in and day out. My recovery isn't what it used to be and I occasionally visit my Chiropractor who "tunes me up" and keeps me going. My doctor of choice is a local Chiropractor, Dr. Jeffrey Larkin of Larkin Chiropractic in Warren, NJ (www.drjefflarkin.com).

What sets Dr. Larkin apart from other Chiropractors is the fact that he has a specialization called ART, which stands for "Active Release Technique". Simply put, ART is a deep tissue therapy that allows Dr. Larkin to locate and break up scar tissue that could form in the ligaments, tendons, or fascia. These scar tissue "adhesions" can wreak havoc on one's body if not treated, causing pain and discomfort that can not only last for years, but will continue to get worse over time.

My own personal experience with ART has been solely with Dr. Larkin. The two most impressive things about ART is that the treatments work fast and the results for me were permanent. I had three maybe four treatments and I was done. That's "powerful medicine" if you ask me. In the past I've had soft tissue injuries that kept me seeing a PT for weeks, eventually turning into months.

I've invited Dr. Larkin to speak this Sunday, November 23rd at out Body Basics Hiking Group. The location will be the Miller Lane parking lot and the time will be 8:15am. Please note that we are moving the time back 15 minutes than our normal start time.

If you want to attend you must RSVP through MeetUp.com. Please go to meetup.com and then search for "Body Basics Hiking Group". Join our group and then RSVP "Yes" that you plan to attend. The hike will be limited to just 15 people and the MeetUp site will keep a tally. So if you plan to attend, sign up early and commit. Whatever you do, please do not RSVP "yes" and then not show up as you would be preventing someone else from attending.

Please come prepared to hike four to five miles after Dr. Larkin's talk. All of the details are on the MeetUp.com site.
