Active Release Technique (ART®)
Are you suffering from muscle pain, tendonitis, or bursitis? Have a nagging injury that is not getting better? It’s time to try Active Release Technique (ART®) – a patented soft tissue method for muscle strains, tears, and over-use injuries.
The method, originally developed for athletes, is used for repetitive strain and injury of the soft tissues. Soft tissues include muscle, fascia (the slippery coating on muscles and organs), ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
When our soft tissues are injured, less oxygen is available to the tissue. This causes the tissue fibers to become “sticky” and form adhesions. ART® providers identify the areas of adhesion and use their hands to break apart and “release” the adhesion or scar tissue.
In pain? Active Release Technique® can resolve many types of soft tissue injuries and it is no surprise that it used by professional sports teams and Olympic athletes. Our certified ART providers have taken a special interest and are educated in the palpation and treatment of soft tissue injuries.
