Active Release Techniques

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a type of manual therapy that focuses on diagnosing and treating soft tissue issues like muscle, tendon, ligament, and nerve problems. The therapist uses precise movements and pressure to identify restrictions or scar tissue causing pain or limited movement. By applying targeted, active movements during treatment, ART helps improve blood flow, break up adhesions, and restore normal function. It’s often used for sports injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic pain, promoting faster recovery and enhanced mobility without medication or surgery.
