The active release technique providers at Tri PT help you out of pain and heal your soft tissue so you can get back to your normal routine, including the exercises or sports that are part of your life. Don’t settle for just a therapeutic massage; try an active release technique massage at your local physical therapy practice.
The active release technique (ART) is a physical therapy method that treats your body’s soft tissue. By using a specific combination of manipulation and movement, your physical therapy practitioners can help restore soft tissue to its pre-damaged state.
For 30 years, ART has been useful in providing relief for those suffering from shoulder pain, as well as pain from other areas of your body.
ART breaks up scar tissue by identifying, isolating and targeting the affected area that’s causing you pain. This comprehensive approach fosters improved blood flow and quicker healing from injuries, such as sports-related injuries and work-related injuries. Specifically, your physical therapist can use ART on:
- Ligaments
- Muscles
- Nerves
- Tendons
