Specialty Education:
Dr. Fragoso is a formerly certified provider of Active Release Techniques ® (ART). Dr. Fragoso was first introduced to ART following a shoulder injury, which he suffered while lifting weights. After having his shoulder examined by a physical therapist it was concluded that he had strained his supraspinatus muscle, a rotator cuff muscle that helps to stabilize the shoulder joint. After a year and a half of limited range of motion and pain with specific shoulder movements, he had his shoulder examined once again, this time by an ART practitioner. Within 2 weeks of treatment, his range of motion was restored and he was once again able to workout with weights. It was at this time that Dr. Fragoso decided to learn more about ART and eventually became a provider himself.
