Meet today's guest blogger: Gus Gutierrez, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT Gus is an owner of and serves as clinical director of BRPT-Lake, a multi-clinic private practice located in and around Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that specializes in the treatment of orthopedic patients and sports-related injuries. He received his Orthopedic Certified Specialization distinction in 1994 and then again in 2004. He is certified as a Level 2 Manual Therapist and is Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. He has over 23 years of clinical experience and working with athletes on all levels. Gus has been certified in Astym since 2001. He is also certified in Kinesiology Taping and as an Active Release Technique practitioner for the upper extremity, lower extremity and spine. In orthopedic settings across the world, Astym treatment has become the prime modality of choice in scar tissue reduction. Dysfunctional scarring can result in restricted movement, stiffness, and an undesirable appearance. Astym treatment can help eliminate scar tissue and thereby restore movement, eliminate pain, and deliver a more desirable appearance.
