A.R.T. — Active Release Technique

A patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue treatment system.

Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) is one of the most effective and precise soft-tissue treatment systems available today. Our certified A.R.T. providers can resolve conditions that have failed to respond to other treatments.

What Is Active Release Technique?

A.R.T. is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system and movement-based massage technique developed by Dr. P. Michael Leahy. Every A.R.T. session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The A.R.T. provider uses their 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 — breaking up scar tissue and restoring normal movement.

What Conditions Does A.R.T. Treat?

A.R.T. is highly effective for overuse conditions, repetitive strain injuries, and cumulative trauma disorders, including:

Headaches Shoulder Pain Carpal Tunnel Shin Splints Sciatica Plantar Fasciitis Knee Pain Tennis Elbow Back Pain Neck Stiffness
