Active Release Technique in Tustin, CA

A hands-on, movement-based approach for resolving stubborn pain and restoring normal function.

Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) is a patented soft tissue treatment system designed to identify and treat restrictions in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves that are keeping your body from moving well.

At PRIME Movement, we use A.R.T. to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction — not just the symptoms.

What Is A.R.T.?

A precise examination and treatment system

Every A.R.T. session combines evaluation with treatment. Your provider uses their hands to assess the texture, tightness, and movement of soft tissue, then applies carefully guided tension along with specific patient movements to restore normal motion.

This approach helps break up scar tissue, reduce stiffness, and improve function in the affected area.

Why Patients Choose It

Often effective when other treatments have not worked

A.R.T. is especially helpful for overuse, repetitive strain, and cumulative trauma conditions that create persistent tension and movement restrictions.

• Targets the actual source of restriction
• Can help when pain has resisted other care
• Non-invasive and drug-free
• Supports faster recovery and better movement
