What is Active Release Techniques (ART®) and how does it work?

Active Release Techniques (ART®) is a patented, movement-based soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It works by identifying and releasing fibrotic adhesions — areas of dense scar tissue that form from overuse, injury, or repetitive strain — using over 500 specific protocols. The provider applies precisely directed tension while the patient moves through a specific range of motion, engaging reciprocal inhibition to release the adhesion and restore normal tissue function. ART® has an approximately 80% average improvement rate and most conditions respond within 3–5 sessions. Dr. Matt Centofonti is the only Full Body ART® certified provider in West Austin and the Lake Travis area.

What is the difference between a sports chiropractor and a regular chiropractor?

A regular chiropractor primarily uses spinal manipulation (adjustments) to restore joint mobility and reduce pain. A sports chiropractor combines chiropractic care with advanced soft tissue techniques, functional movement assessment, and sport-specific rehabilitation to address the full range of musculoskeletal issues affecting athletic performance. At Kinetix Sport + Spine, Dr. Matt uses Active Release Techniques (ART®), SFMA movement assessment, TPI-certified golf performance protocols, and corrective exercise — not just adjustments. The focus is on root-cause diagnosis and measurable performance outcomes, not symptom management.

Is there a sports chiropractor near me in Bee Cave or Spicewood TX?

Yes. Kinetix Sport + Spine serves the Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, Briarcliff, and West Austin area. The clinic is located at 5324 Reimers-Peacock Rd, Spicewood, TX 78669 — inside CrossFit Lake Travis — and is easily accessible from Bee Cave, Lakeway, and the broader Lake Travis corridor. Dr. Matt Centofonti is the only Full Body ART® certified sports chiropractor in West Austin. Call 512-730-0284 or book online at kinetixatx.janeapp.com.

How is this different from regular chiropractic care?

Kinetix uses advanced soft tissue therapy that targets individual anatomical structures — specific muscle fibers, ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules — rather than general spinal adjustments. Dr. Matt's Full Body ART® certification gives him over 500 specific treatment protocols to identify and release adhesions at the tissue level. Many patients say they don't consider it traditional chiropractic at all because the techniques and results are fundamentally different from anything they've experienced before. Sessions run 20–30 minutes of direct, hands-on treatment — not rushed 5-minute adjustments.

Do you actually help golf performance or just treat golf injuries?

Both — and the combination is what makes Kinetix unique. Dr. Matt holds TPI Medical Level 2 certification (advanced golf injury diagnosis and treatment) and TPI Fitness Level 2 certification (golf-specific fitness programming). He is the only provider in the Lakeway, Bee Cave, and West Austin area holding both simultaneously. That means he can assess your body, identify physical limitations causing swing faults, treat any underlying injuries, and build a golf fitness program around what he finds — all in one place. Most golfers see both pain reduction and measurable performance improvement within the same treatment course.

How long are appointments and what should I expect?

First visits at Kinetix typically run 45–60 minutes and include a comprehensive movement assessment, palpation evaluation, and initial treatment. Follow-up sessions run 20–30 minutes of focused, hands-on treatment time. There are no rushed 5-minute adjustments — Dr. Matt spends the full session time treating. Kinetix operates on a transparent pay-as-you-go model with no contracts, no prepaid packages, and no pressure to commit to a long treatment plan upfront.

Do you work with youth athletes?

Yes. Dr. Matt works with youth athletes across sports, with particular expertise in throwing sports, golf development, and general sports performance. His background as a former collegiate baseball player gives him firsthand knowledge of the physical demands placed on developing athletes and the injury patterns most common in youth sports. Treatment and programming are adjusted to the athlete's age, development stage, and sport-specific demands.
