Hey there everyone,
Sorry if you missed me on Friday (April 1), I was at Eastern Washington University to help Adam Bighill at his NFL pro day. For anyone who doesn’t know what a pro day entails, it is where NFL and CFL scouts come to watch certain collegiate football stars perform a wide array of tests to display their speed, agility, strength and football skill. There were about 6 other players, mostly from Eastern Washington University doing the tests as well. I am excited to say that Adam, and everyone would agree, was the standout of the day. His size, speed, strength and athleticism couldn’t me matched by anybody there. Before Adam attempted his 225 lb bench press for reps test, I went through and cleared out his left shoulder (previously injured and causing pain) with Active Release Techniques (ART) and helped him break his own personal record on the bench. He completed 24 repetitions at 225 lbs on the bench press, his previous best was 21. For him, the day was day was a huge success, and all three professional scouts (Seahawks, Colts, B.C. Lions) all took notice and made sure they spoke with him before he left. I was so happy for him, and so happy that I could help him achieve things that he has never done before on such a special day. Not only that, Adam was the only one there who had a personal Doctor at his disposal, and I am honored and proud that I had the opportunity to help. I hope you understand the importance of my absence last Friday, and if you know Adam, I hope you are as proud of him as I am.
If anyone is interested in what Artificial Release Techniques (ART) are, I will give you a quick rundown. ART is the gold standard for treating soft-tissue injuries. Soft-tissues that ART focuses on include: Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. There is literally a treatment protocol for every specific muscle, tendon, and ligament in the body. When would ART be useful you may ask? Do you, or have you ever experienced: stiffness in the neck, TMJ issues, pain and lack of range of motion in your shoulder, back injuries of any kind, tight glutes, clicking and popping hips, torn or strained hamstrings/quads, knee injuries of any kind, shin splints, ankle sprains, or plantar fasciitis? These are only a few examples of issues that can be treated with ART, and trust me, there are many more. Even if you have had one of these injuries and you think it has healed, there is still scar tissue built up over that area that may cause this injury to happen again, or happen frequently. With ART, these issues, whether they are chronic or acute, can be improved significantly, and you should experience relief and the benefits immediately after treatment. Just a piece of advice, if you, or someone you know, has a sudden injury to their soft tissue, the quicker it is treated, the quicker and easier it will heal. Injuries that are 15 years old are not unfixable, but they do take more time than someone who has a fresh injury. I hope I shed some light on some issues that you or someone you know may be dealing with. I want everyone to know that I can help them, and I am sincere in saying I want to help change your life for the best!
Until next time, take care and hope to see you soon,
Dr. Bridgeman

Unless you treat the source of the pain, of cruose it's going to keep coming back. A massage might loosen the muscles and release the trigger points, but if you leave the massage table and adopt the poor posture and bad ergonomics that brought the problem on in the first place, then yes, it's going to come right back. If your engine is leaking oil, you can hardly expect that adding more is going to fix the problem permanently you need to find out where the leak is happening and fix it.Depending on what exactly is going on, it might be a case of needing ongoing maintenance. If it's a structural deformity like scoliosis, flat feet, or knocked knees that's the source of the problem, as an adult these things will probably not go totally away and need to be managed regularly. But if it's a case of using your body poorly bending over to lift heavy objects, using poor posture, holding a phone with your shoulder, etc., then you can change your habits and help the problem dramatically. Even fixable problems are going to take time to undo. You can't expect lasting results from one or two sessions. You didn't do this to yourself in 2-3 days, it's not going to go away in that length of time, either.
