ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUES® What is it? Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.®) is a patented, state-of-the-ART soft tissue system that diagnoses and permanently treats soft tissue injuries. These injuries can be a result of repetitive stress or trauma such as whiplash or from over-use of the same muscle group doing the same activities. It is a non-invasive healing procedure that locates and breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that cause soft-tissue injuries. How is it performed? Whenever possible we have our patients perform active movements during the treatment process. Active motions stimulate neurological pathways in the spinal cord that help to reduce pain during treatment. Motion also helps to reproduce the stresses the patient will actually be under during normal active motion. ART® is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The provider uses a method of healing injuries by locating scar tissue, then applying tension to the scar tissue while lengthening muscles, tendons and ligaments. ART® returns tissue to its correct tension, texture, movement and function thus eliminating symptoms. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART®. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART® is unique to each individual – treatment and specific moves incorporated depend on the evaluation results of the patient. Each session takes between 8 to 30 minutes and comfort level varies by each individual. At times ART® can be described as mildly uncomfortable but the therapeutic benefits easily outweigh any tenderness felt during a treatment. Who should consider ART®? ART® is a highly successful treatment for anyone who leads an active life, sits at a computer all day, or enjoys gardening. Many daily activities cause repetitive stress and the formation of scar tissue, which hinders the movement and function of soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves). This creates symptoms of pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, numbness and weakness. If you suffer from any of the following, ART® may be the solution for you: Headaches Neck Pain Back Pain Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Hip Pain Golfer’s/Tennis Elbow Tendonitis Shoulder Pain Tmj Wrist Pain Achilles Tendonitis Bursitis Golf Injuries Hand Injuries Joint Dysfunction Myofascitis Repetitive Strain Injuries Running Injuries Swimmers Shoulder TMJ Shin Splints Sciatica Plantar Fasciitis Tennis Elbow Ankle Injuries Foot Pain/Injury Gait Imbalances Hip Pain Muscle Pulls or Strains Nerve Entrapment Syndromes Rib Pain Scar Tissue Formation Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Weight Lifting Injuries Finger Pain Leg Pain Knee Injuries Arthritis Bunions Frozen Shoulder Hammer Toes Impingement Syndromes Muscle Weakness Post Surgical Rotator Cuff Syndrome Sports Injuries Throwing Injuries Whiplash ART® has a 90% success rate in treating these symptoms permanently
