Active Release Technique is a specialized manual therapy that targets soft tissue adhesions, scar tissue, and muscle imbalances.
Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on, targeted therapy used to treat soft tissue injuries and dysfunctions caused by muscle adhesions, scar tissue, or overuse. ART involves the practioner applying specific pressure to affected areas while the patient moves through a series of stretches or motions. This active movement helps release muscle tension and promote better blood flow, which accelerates healing. ART is commonly used for conditions such as tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and neck or shoulder pain. This technique is highly effective for athletes and anyone experiencing chronic pain due to soft tissue injuries.
