Active Release Technique: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Active Release Technique work?
During treatment with ART, your provider will check the problem area to locate any scar tissue. Once they have the scar tissue located, they will begin treating it by using physical manipulation not unlike what you would experience during massage therapy. This is done to break up adhesions and dense clumps of scar tissue that may be causing the issues you are experiencing.
Is ART the same as chiropractic care?
Active Release Technique is a specialized form of chiropractic that combines aspects of massage therapy with more active movement to break up scar tissue that can be causing problems in the body. This restores flexibility, eases pain, and encourages faster healing.
What is the difference between massage therapy and ART?
As the name implies, Active Release Therapy is a more active form of treatment than massage therapy. While massage therapy generally relies on static pressure and passive movement, ART manipulates the area of the body being treated with gentle pressure and more active movement.
What should I do after receiving ART?
After receiving ART, stretching exercises can help keep your mobility up and ensure you don’t suffer any sort of relapse after being treated.
