What is Active Release Technique (ART)?

ART is a patented, hands-on soft tissue treatment for muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. The provider applies precise tension while you move the affected area, breaking up scar tissue and restoring normal movement without drugs or surgery.

Does ART hurt?

It can feel intense over tight or scarred areas, similar to deep tissue work. Most people describe it as productive discomfort that eases as the tissue releases, not sharp pain.

How is ART different from massage or a chiropractic adjustment?

A massage works tissue broadly and an adjustment targets joints. ART targets a specific muscle, tendon, or nerve while you move it, addressing the root movement problem rather than only easing symptoms.

What kinds of injuries do you treat?

We treat neck and back pain plus shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet — including overuse and sports injuries involving muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
