Active Release Technique® is state-of-the-art and currently the gold standard in treating soft tissue injuries. ART® is a soft tissue technique that is used to treat conditions for muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The doctor will use his/her hands to put slight compression and tension in the area being treated while having the patient move through a specific motion. This helps to remove muscle adhesions and tightness from the area to improve the body’s proper biomechanics. This treatment is extremely effective with both chronic repetitive over-use injuries and acute injuries. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and often permanently with ART®.
