Active Release Technique 
What is ART??
Active Release Technique, or ART, is the gold standard in treatment for pain arising from soft tissue injuries. Nothing is more effective in treating a wide range of conditions as ART. The treatment aims to eliminate scar or fibrous adhesions within the soft tissues, thereby arresting the pain and restoring the range of motion, strength and function. ART practitioners undergo extensive hands on training and must be tested to obtain certification. Individuals who have tried every kind of treatment available with little or no lasting results usually respond immediately and require only a few sessions to resolve their condition. ART is the treatment most professional athletes receive which enables them to be injured one day and play the next.
Typical Conditions Treated
Common conditions that respond to ART include neck, shoulder, elbow hand, back, hip, knee and leg pain, as well as headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel, TMJ, plantar fascists and peripheral nerve entrapment.
Course of Treatment
Treatment frequency and duration vary depending on the severity and complexity of the injury. Most patients, however, experience rapid improvement in only a few treatments.
Mechanisms of Pain
Within our bodies are muscles lying atop and adjacent to each other. Running between, on and through them are nerves and blood vessels. Muscles, nerves and blood vessels are supposed to glide freely past and on each other. When they don't, there is loss of motion, weakness, pain and stiffness. If a nerve becomes entrapped, or "stuck to a muscle," there can be radiation pain, numbness or tingling. The culprit is usually fibrous adhesions or scar tissue; these cause soft tissues to stick to each other and lose their elasticity.
Where does scar tissue come from?
Scar tissue is a result of inflammation. The injury causing the
inflammation can be a direct trauma, such as a fall while skiing, or a
prolonged postural position, such as someone working at a computer.
