Active Release Techniques® (ART) in Vancouver (Kitsilano)
ART is a patented, soft tissue system and movement-based technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
These treatment protocols – over 500 specific moves – are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.

Laser Therapy
Low intensity laser is a new technology that encourages tissue healing at the cellular level. It stimulates re-growth of damaged cells and increases circulation to injured areas, reducing pain and inflammation.
Chiropractic in Vancouver (Kitsilano)
A chiropractic adjustment/mobilization increases joint mobility and flexibility in a specific area, relaxes muscle spasm and provides pain relief. The movement also increases circulation of lubricating fluid within the joint.
Custom-fit Orthotics for Runners and Athletes and Workplace
A comprehensive analysis of your foot, function and injury may determine that you will benefit from wearing custom-made orthotics. Wearing custom-made orthotics has proven to reduce pain and prevent more severe problems and/or future injuries. Many employees’ health care benefits cover the cost of orthotics; please consult your benefit provider for your coverage details.

Following this session, Dr. Case carefully analyzes and reviews the DVD, frame by frame, to identify any differences between your current form and optimal running/walking technique.
SESSION 2: You and Dr. Case review the DVD of your running/walking technique as he explains the results. You will receive a copy of your running/walking DVD as well as personalized drills, running/walking tips, exercises and stretches to help you correct imbalances, improve form, speed, endurance, and prevent injuries.
Kinesio® Taping in Vancouver (Kitsilano)
Kinesio® Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for Preventive Maintenance, Edema, and Pain Management.
Kinesio® Taping is a technique based on the body’s own natural healing process. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body but also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms.
