Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue system protocol that finds and helps to repair problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. A wide assortment of conditions, which usually result from overused muscles that can eventually succumb to large tears, micro-tears and/or lack of oxygen, can be resolved with ART. It works by having the provider identify the problem tissue and direct a specific tension in the tough, thick scar tissue while the patient moves the affected area in a specific direction.
