Active Release Technique
Resolve back pain, tennis elbow and more with Active Release Therapy
Whether you’ve got pain from a sport injury or from working at a desk all day, it can be tempting to ignore it, hoping it will just go away on its own. You learn to live with minor discomfort, adjusting your activities so the movement doesn’t hurt.
But what if a simple treatment could remove your restrictions, relieve your pain and restore your movement?
With Active Release Therapy, you can target those restrictions caused by both chronic and acute pain. There’s a lot to discover about this relatively new form of physiotherapy treatment.
Active release technique, or ART is a movement-based massage that treats muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. It’s particularly effective for overuse injuries, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, sciatica, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
Our trained physiotherapists and chiropractors will work with you to improve physical performance and assist with recovery from pain and injury.
Hands-on treatment involves stretching or tensioning of injured or overworked tissue in very specific movement patterns to restore mobility, improve oxygenation, and help with healing.
