ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUES® (ART)

ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, and nerves. 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 quite permanently with ART. These conditions all have one thing in common: they often result from injury to over-used muscles.

Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.

Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her 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.
