Dr. Dade Donovan is whole body certified and bio-mechanics certified in Active Release Technique (A.R.T.)
A.R.T. is an movement based soft tissue release technique that resolves adhesions within and between muscle, tendons, ligaments, fascia and
nerves. These produce many of the symptoms involved in the conditions listed below. Dr. Donovan provided Active Release treatment for the
Canadian Ironman in Pentiction British Columbia in August 2006. 
Active Release has been used by professional athletes in the National Football League, the National Hockey League as well as Englands' Premier Soccer league.
