Our commitment to educational excellence, clinical foundation, and professional respect in soft tissue education
Dynamic Release Techniques strongly recommends—but does not require—that students complete Active Release Techniques® training under the instruction of Dr. Michael Leahy before enrolling in advanced DRT courses.
Active Release Techniques provides an exceptional foundation in anatomy, palpation, biomechanics, tissue assessment, and soft tissue treatment principles that complements the education provided within the Dynamic Release Techniques System.
Although Active Release Techniques certification is not a prerequisite, students with an Active Release Techniques background often gain an even greater appreciation for the advanced concepts taught in Passive Release Techniques, Nitric Oxide Release, Dynamic Instruments, and Soft Tissue and Osseous Manipulation Under Anesthesia.
Dynamic Release Techniques is an independent educational organization with its own curriculum, techniques, certifications, and clinical philosophy.
This recommendation is offered solely out of our deep respect for Dr. Michael Leahy’s pioneering contributions to soft tissue treatment and our commitment to helping clinicians build the strongest possible foundation for advanced education.
