What is Active Release Technique (ART)?

Active Release Technique or (ART) is a manual massage technique that treats restriction of movement or adhesion within the soft tissue of the injured area. This method of treatment reduces pain symptoms, while improving range of motion, strength, and stability.

Muscle injuries result from overuse or trauma. Injuries manifest themselves as small tears or a pull in the muscle. As a result, the muscle tissue (soft tissue) begins to repair itself with scar tissue, better known as a knot. Over time, the muscle tightens, resulting in cramps, restricted mobility, and pain.

How do I know if I have scar tissue/adhesions and need ART therapy?

Muscle injuries include; soreness, stiffness, restriction in range of motion, bruising, and weakness. If an athlete is putting continuous pressure on a specific muscle or tissue that is already at risk. While scar tissue is a normal part of recovery. Proper therapeutic post-care prevents permanent damage, joint dysfunction, and pain.
