ART is ahighly specific technique dealing with fibrotic tissue adhesions that cause pain and restricts normal motion between soft tissue structures. Adhesions can develop between and within muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved with ART. Active Release Techniques release the adhesions helping to restore normal movement between the soft tissue structures, thereby reducing or eliminating the symptoms in the vast majority of cases.
