This weekend I traveled to Tulsa with my wife and Alan Yoder, best friend from Cleveland Chiropractic College. Dr. Kirk Iodice, my chiropractor from Olathe, KS, traveled down for the weekend for a little workshop Alan and I put together. The goal was for Dr. Iodice to learn some advanced Active Release Technique modifications to help him with some of his tougher chiropractic patients. Dr. Iodice then showed Dr. Peterson some functional screens and a few therapeutic techniques to help him be more effective and efficient in the office. As part of this meeting, I was wanting to get a new photo of Dr. Peterson for the new website I’ll be building this spring. Dr. Peterson is unique for many reasons, one being that he uses Active Release Technique (the gold standard in soft-tissue mobilization) in the True Stretch, a stretching device created by Gary Gray, the world’s authority on tri-planar rehabilitation. Because of his unique approach in implementing these two tools, I thought it appropriate to photograph him in the True Stretch device. Whilst getting the lighting setup for the shoot, I used Alan as a temporary model. He is one of my favorite subjects to shoot (you can probably tell why from the photos) and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture his “awesomeness” on film. The following photos are just a few that we shot for the website. Dr. Peterson and I will be attending a Gary Gray seminar in Rhode Island soon and look forward to seeing how they implement the True Stretch there. I recently purchased a True Stretch out of Oklahoma City after seeing the results Dr. Peterson was getting with it. My in-laws were kind enough to house it for me until I start using it on patients in about a year. I hope everyone is enjoying this temporary warm up in the weather. Enjoy the pics! -Chris-
