Active Release Techniques®

What Is ART®?

Your body naturally produces scar tissue when injured. If this scar tissue builds up, the soft tissue that is designed to move freely is affected, often resulting in a reduced movement, pain, loss of strength, numbness or tingling. These soft tissue conditions can arise from sudden trauma like tears, strains, pulls, sprains and collisions or from a build-up of repeated small tears via thecumulative injury cycle.

“Active Release Techniques® (ART®) is an advanced movement-based, non-invasive manual technique of removing harmful scar tissue and adhesions from muscles, nerves, tendons, fascia and ligaments. Scar tissue forms at sites of previous injury or strain and can cause pain, weakness and movement dysfunction.”

With the correct application, ART® can relieve you pain and free you from debilitating conditions such as sciatica, headaches, back pain, knee problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow, by treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
