Robert J. Rich, DC brings Active Release Technique certification and Applied Kinesiology credentials to Encinitas through Rich and Jannelli Chiropractic Corporation on North El Camino Real. ART's patented soft-tissue protocol targets adhesion in overused muscles, tendons, and fascia through over 500 specific movement patterns, treating the repetitive-strain injuries that also drive referrals to sports rehabilitation providers including Highline Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation. A 1993 Life Chiropractic College West doctorate anchors the practice's clinical foundation under California license DC23357, with additional training in myofascial release, PNF stretching, and gait analysis for custom orthotic fitting. The practice was recognized by Competitor Magazine as a destination for sports-injury treatment, reflecting a caseload weighted toward endurance athletes, surfers, and weekend warriors along the North County coast. Post-correction stability programming incorporates functional movement assessment and neuromuscular re-patterning, building the kind of core-stability foundation reinforced by controlled-resistance training at Pilates Republic Encinitas. Highest-tier protocols include full-body biomechanical screening with computerized gait analysis to identify kinetic-chain dysfunction from foot strike through hip and spinal alignment.
