See what Patients are saying about ART®

“Previous to meeting Sebastian, I was on the normal course of action for an individual recovering from a debilitating back spasm.  I was taking muscle relaxers, painkillers, and going to physical therapy all while trying to find a chiropractor that wouldn’t twist my fragile frame into a Cirque de soleil position.  Saying I was hesitant is an understatement; I’ve never been a Guinea pig for anything much less a “new treatment” for back pain.  But after a solid year of constant disappointment and temporary “healing” I was at my wits end.

I’ll be honest, it took some coaxing and then one day I gave him a call and it really changed my life.  Sebastian explained to me the structure and function of back pain and that the Stenosis or the bulging disks that I was told I had was actually a “lifestyle” issue and was just due to my sitting patterns and atrophy of my gluts and abdominal muscles.

What had happened was, I’ve been going to college for 10 yrs and working in an office for 8 yrs (lots of inactivity and sitting) and my hip flexors had really put the squeeze on my back.  The ART therapy turned me from a person dealing with the possibility of quitting all Sports activities from Golf to Jiu Jitsu to Surfing, not to mention the almost constant nagging pain, to beginning to strengthen the root of the problem and get back to the shape of a man 10 years younger.  I wasn’t ready to quit life at 35 and after 5 or 6 treatments over a couple months I noticed the need to see him started to spread from every week to going months at a time.  This darn stuff really works, and my quality of life had gone from a 35 year old feeling 65 to someone who could actually get in the gym and out in the water again with verve and vigor not just going through the motions and worrying ever minute that my back was going to go out.

I might be exaggerating by saying that ART and Sebastian saved my life but my sanity was saved and through stretching and exercising the correct muscles, I may never have to make that “911” call again to have an ambulance pick me up off my living room floor because I can’t get up.

Thanks Sebastian and Thanks ART.”

“I can’t say enough how much I love ART! I went through several years of lower back pain and headaches. Traditional doctors just wrote it off as arthritis and medicated me. Then one day my friend recommended trying ART. After just three treatments, my pain was reduced substantially! Now, as soon as I feel any bit of  pain (be it from a headache or injury), I head straight to Sebastian for ART treatments instead of the medicine cabinet! Thanks for keeping me pain free!”

Making action films has really been tough on my body. Thanks to Dr. Leahy’s Active Release Techniques, I’m able to perform! After treatment, I feel great… ready for the next challenging role.

I don’t know what it is about me, I have tons of injuries although I am only 20 years old.  Most of the injuries have gone away on their own, but one that stayed with me for years is the knee pain.  I originally hurt it playing high school football and then again 2 years later lifting weights.  The last episode of pain stayed with me until I received ART from Sebastian.  Within 2 treatments I was able to move my knee further than I had been able to in years.  After 2 more treatments I was totally better.  I wish I had only known about ART and Sebastian sooner.

My injury left me with no chance of ever playing hockey again. Now, after being treated with ART and a proper rehabilitation program, I have completely regained my career in Hockey.

All the doctors said I needed surgery for impingement syndrome in both shoulders. After one treatment, I rebooked all my competitions and trained to be in the best shape of my life.

All my life I have been a sports girl, from planning soccer, to swimming, to riding bikes. Years ago my knee was badly injured in a soccer game and I refused to have surgery. I was forced to live with pain for what felt like decades and I stopped playing active sports almost completely. A co-worker told me about A.R.T. and I went to Sebastian and in less than 5 treatments I could run again, PAIN FREE! If that does not tell you enough… I am on my feet all day working and I began to have back pain, I immediately called Sebastian and after a couple of treatments and showing me strength training exercises and stretches I was 100% all over again. This is no fluke I tell you this stuff really works!

I was amazed at the results the first time I received ART from Sebastian.  I had injured my lower back from working long hours in a warehouse.  I was losing sleep and the pain was starting to affect my life.  After just 1 treatment of ART, my pain had decreased from a 8/10 to 0.  To this day I still have no low back pain and I attribute it all to Sebastian’s treatment and rehabilitation program, which I do religiously.

I have had over 2 years of cortisone shots for a neuroma in my foot without any long-term pain relief.  I even resorted to orthotics with limited success.  After receiving just 4 treatments of ART from Sebastian, much of the pain in my foot went away and   I even stop wearing my orthotics.  ART has done for more for me than any other treatment. Thanks a ton!

For months I had been losing sleep due to waking up with numb hands.  I went to my primary physician and was told that it was probably due to carpel tunnel and he wanted me to go to a specialist for testing.  I had heard that this type of testing was very painful so I spoke with a co-worker of mine who had experienced the same symptoms.  She told me about how Sebastian worked on her and she was now symptom free.  I made an appointment and was very impressed with Sebastian and ART.  He truly cares about his patients and best of all I no longer have numb hands!  I couldn’t believe had some relief after the first treatment!  I also had him treat me for lower back pain, which was due to arthritis.  This also improved greatly with ART and strength training.  Thanks Sebastian.
