Active Release Techniques (ART®)

ART is a soft tissue mobilization technique that breaks up scar tissue or adhesions found in inflammed muscles, tendons, and nerves. These happen as a result of injury, over training, or poor posture. ART enhances range of motion, increases strength, decreases pain, and prevents further injury

ART is used to treat many different conditions including:

  • Repetitive strain injuries (e.g., tennis elbow)
  • Overuse syndromes (e.g., rotator cuff tendonosis)
  • Postural pain/stiffness (e.g., neck/shoulder tightness and pain)
  • Nerve entrapments (e.g., sciatic pain, hand parathesia)
