Active Release Technique (ART):

Active Release Techniques (ART) are a soft tissue method that focusses on releasing tissue tension but the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop in tissues as a result of overload due to repetitive use.  These disorders may lead to muscular weakness, numbness, aching, tingling and burning sensations.

Purpose;

ART is used to treat symptoms with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.  Its design is three fold:

  1. To restore free and unimpeded motion of all soft tissues
  2. T release entrapped nerves, vasculature and lymphatics
  3. To reestablish optimal texture, resilience and function of soft tissues

ART and Performance;

ART is effective for active people of every level.  It can provide patients with a means to enhance their sports performance by identifying and releasing restrictions that reduce their performance in their chosen activity.
