Active release Technique is used to treat problems that involve the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
It is a movement based therapy that utilizes the doctors hands to perform the treatment.
The goal of ART is to re-establish normal motion between muscles, ligaments, nerves, and fascia, while reducing fibrous adhesions, like scar tissue.
Scar tissue develops when an area of the body is injured and re-heals. Normally this is a good thing although in chronic repetitive stress situations this can become dense and troublesome.
