What is Active Release Technique (ART)?

Active Release Technique or A.R.T is a prominent treatment option as opposed to conventional remedial massage. A.R.T is a licensed, best in class soft tissue release method that treats issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. This is accomplished by putting the tissues through their range of motion and applying pressure to separate any scar tissue or bonds inside of the tissues. The formation of these adhesions is usually a result of over worked muscles or are repetitive strain injury (RSI).

What conditions can ART treat?

A.R.T works amazingly well with manipulative therapy. A.R.T can additionally restore movement and capacity in a less evasive manner. The A.R.T conventions have been found to help with specific conditions including:

• Headaches


• Back/Neck Pain


• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome


• Nerve Entrapments


• Shoulder Pain

How is an ART treatment?

An ART session is a mix of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to assess the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Irregular tissues are dealt with by joining using precisely directed tension with certain patient movements.

Active Release Techniques have a combination of highly specific and unique ways of dealing with every individual muscle in the body. ART thus achieves much quicker and more successful changes in the soft tissues of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
