What can you expect during an ART treatment?Īctive Release Technique (ART) certified practioners use a hands-on technique involving your body’s natural motion to break up scar tissue and restore proper motion to affected areas. Often conditions arise due to overuse of the muscle, tendons and ligaments thus resulting in persistent pain, shorter and weaker muscles and compresed nerves. Repetitve overuse/acute injury causes a build-up of scar tissue affecting the body’s soft tissue. Some examples include Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow.
