Every ART, Active Release Technique, session is actually a combination of examination and treatment.

The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

These ART, or Active Release Technique 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 not a cookie-cutter approach.

ART treatment is a hands-on procedure that allows the Chiropractor to treat soft tissue injuries related to muscle, tendon, fascia, and nerves.

Specific injuries that ART, Active Release Technique can treat include:

• repetitive strains
• joint dysfunction
• and tissue hypoxia

There are many places where muscles, tendons, nerves, and fascia can be stressed.

Surgery, accidents, postural distortion or repetitive strain may lead to trauma or injury. When this happens, the body's automatic response is to form scar tissue. Scarring has a detrimental effect, causing tissues (harden) to change and adhere to themselves as well as to other related structures. These adhesions occur as a result of the injuries and are responsible for multiple pains and discomfort.

ART, Active Release Techniques, are manual treatment methods used to remove these adhesions brought on by injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Previously, soft-tissue care had been unsuccessfully treated with drugs, heat, cold, rest and massage resulting in temporary symptom relief. Because, ART  treats the injury at the root cause, it is successfull at alleviating the condition long-term.
