A Story of Exceeded Expectations

I went to Dr. Krohse when I saw that he performs ART, after I had read about ART. I thought that treatment might help me. I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis since 2004. I am a former collegiate distance runner and try to still enjoy running. It is hard to enjoy the great sport of running when you have something hurting you each step. I had tried acupuncture, physical therapy, shoe inserts, and cortisone shots. So, you could say I’ve tried about everything to get healthy.

Dr. Krohse did a thorough job of evaluating my posture and my feet. After each treatment, I felt my feet getting better. After two weeks of treatment, I was running pain free for the first time in 5 years. I know at times the scar tissue will build up and it will be painful but I know Dr. Krohse will be able to use his techniques with ART to get me back running. I would recommend ART to my athletes that I train and to any athlete who has pain that would benefit from this treatment.

Running Times Article

“The Healing ARTs, Active Release Techniques Make Me Hurt So Good” is in the September issue of Running Times. Read about Tamara Rice Lave’s positive experiences with Active Release Techniques.

“When I arrived at Dan’s office, I was pessimistic, to say the least. After spending thousands of dollars trying to heal my Achilles, I did not think that anyone or anything could help me. But after one session with Dan’s magic hands, my injury had noticeably improved. It turned out that it wasn’t my Achilles that was causing the flare-ups, but my Achilles bursa and my flexor hallucis longus (big toe muscle). Dan treated those, and I was able to run without any pain.”
