Active Release Technique®
ART ® is a soft tissue management system that effectively treats soft tissue problems, which frequently do not respond to other traditional treatments.
The goal of ART® is to restore optimal texture, motion, and function of the soft tissue and release entrapped nerves. This is accomplished through the removal of adhesions or fibrosis in the soft tissues via the application of specific protocols. Adhesions can occur as a result of acute injury, repetitive motion, and constant pressure or tension. ART® eliminates the pain and dysfunction associated with these adhesions.
Some of the more common conditions are:
Carpal tunnel and other peripheral nerve entrapments Spinal pain and dysfunction Tendonitis and other soft tissue inflammatory disorders of the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Sciatica, TMJ, recurrent sprains and strains.
Only a credentialed ART® provider can ascertain whether ART® might prove beneficial for your condition. Providers must extensive training and pass a rigorous examination rule to become credentialed They must also attend annual update seminars to maintain their credentialed status and keep current of any new protocols and research.
ART® is sought after by nearly every professional sports team, Olympic athletes, movie stars and insurance carriers. This technique has filled a void in the management of soft tissue conditions.
