At Active Release Techniques, we believe that investing in passionate, dedicated providers is one of the best ways to advance patient care and strengthen our community. That’s why we’re excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 Elite Provider Scholarship.
The scholarship recognizes applicants who have demonstrated alignment with our core values, a passion for professional development, and a drive to grow through ART education. This year’s recipients were selected from an impressive pool of applicants, each bringing unique experiences, perspectives, and goals to their careers and practices.
The recipients will attend a Full Body Seminar at our headquarters here in Colorado Springs this August, helping them expand their skills, and deepen their understanding of ART.
We’re proud to introduce our five scholarship winners and share a little about their backgrounds, practices, and aspirations for the future. We will be highlighting their journey throughout the summer and at the seminar, so stay tuned for more to come!
