Ryan Madson credits active release technique for adding 4-5 mph to his fastball after only a few treatments in 2008, which happens to be the first year the Phillies won the World Series in over 25 years and the first time Dr. Tancredi was hired by the team as their chiropractic consultant. He provided over 150 treatments to the team that year and many of the players regularly received adjustments and active release technique. Here are some of the other current or retired elite athletes who get regular chiropractic care: Lance Armstrong, Joe Montana, Muhammad Ali, Jerry Rice, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Scotty Pippin, Evander Holyfield, Emmitt Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Venus Williams, Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, Ryan Sandberg, and Barry Bonds. Also just about every professional and Olympic sports team/organization has chiropractors regularly treating their athletes.
