What is ART?

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment method designed to address soft tissue issues, including muscle, tendon, ligament, and nerve problems. ART is widely used to treat conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow, among others.

How does it work?

ART involves a combination of specific movements and precise pressure applied to the affected areas. Our trained practitioners use their hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

Benefits of ART:

Pain Relief: Provides significant pain relief from chronic injuries.

Improved Mobility: Enhances range of motion and flexibility.

Accelerated Recovery: Speeds up recovery from acute and chronic injuries.

Performance Enhancement: Helps athletes improve performance by addressing soft tissue restrictions.

Commonly Treated Conditions

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Shoulder Pain (e.g., Frozen Shoulder)

Sciatica
