ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE
Active Release Technique (ART) is a type of manual therapy that is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries and improve the function of the musculoskeletal system. It is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
​
During an ART treatment, the therapist uses their hands to apply targeted pressure to the injured area. The therapist also moves the affected body part through a range of motion to help stretch and loosen the tissues. The goal of ART is to break up scar tissue, improve range of motion, and reduce pain and dysfunction.
​
ART is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries. It is often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as chiropractic adjustments or exercises, to help manage pain and improve overall health and well-being. The technique is generally considered to be safe and effective, and it is often used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals to help patients recover from injuries and improve their overall quality of life.
