When you walk and run, a certain sequence of events need to take place in your musculoskeletal system.
For example:
Your arms and legs should have a symmetrical cross-crawl pattern.
Your pelvis should sway side to side
Your spine should rotate
Your hips should flex and extend
Most faults in gait can be observed by a physician trained in gait analysis. Correction is not always voluntary. These faults are caused by improper function of muscles caused by adhesions or scar tissue. If you remove the adhesions, the body usually self corrects these faults. These corrections are done with Active Release Techniques® (ART®)

Testimonial:
Good Afternoon Dr. Weiss,
I hope all is well. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for coming in to NikeTown in July. What a success it was. All I have heard since was positive reaction to what you and your team did while they were here. Many of the members have asked when you might be coming back! Thanks again and I look forward to having you here again.
