Active Release Technique (ART)

ART is a highly effective soft tissue treatment that breaks down scar tissue and promotes proper movement throughout the muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Scar tissue develops in areas of the body that have been injured or chronically overused, as well as areas that are under constant tension, such as the neck and trapezius muscles that can be affected by prolonged sitting. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness. For more information visit www.activerelease.com
