Foundational Training Recommendation

Educational Background and Recommendation

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.

Core Foundational Pillars Provided by Active Release Techniques:

  • Comprehensive Functional Anatomy
  • Biomechanics and Kinetic Motion
  • Palpation and Tissue Assessment
  • Soft Tissue Treatment Principles
Advanced Course Integration

Building Upon Foundational Mastery

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.

Independent Educational Status

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.
