Active Release Technique (A.R.T.)

Active Release Technique is a hands-on treatment designed to identify and correct soft tissue issues that cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Each session combines both assessment and treatment, allowing for a highly targeted and effective approach.

What Can A.R.T. Help With?

A.R.T. is commonly used to treat conditions related to overuse and repetitive strain, including:

  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Chronic low back pain
  • Whiplash and post-injury stiffness
  • Post-surgical scar tissue

These conditions are often caused by the buildup of scar tissue, which can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and decreased strength if left untreated.

Why A.R.T. Works

When the body experiences repeated stress or injury, it forms scar tissue as part of the healing process. Over time, this can restrict movement and trap nerves, leading to ongoing discomfort.

A.R.T. is designed to:

  • Restore normal movement in soft tissues
  • Release trapped nerves and improve circulation
  • Improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion

Instead of just treating symptoms, A.R.T. focuses on addressing the root cause of the issue.

What to Expect During Treatment

Every A.R.T. session is customized to the individual. Your practitioner will assess the affected area by evaluating tissue texture, tightness, and movement.

Treatment involves applying specific tension while guiding you through controlled movements. There are over 500 unique techniques, allowing for a highly precise and personalized approach. No two treatments are the same.

A Proven Approach for Recovery

A.R.T. is widely used by both everyday patients and athletes. Many individuals experience significant improvement in pain and function in a relatively short period of time.
