Active Release Technique

Relieve Pain and Restore Function with Active Release Technique Therapy (ART)

Active Release Technique (ART) is a non-invasive treatment for soft tissue used on strains, sprains, and musculoskeletal disorders. This hands-on, movement-based approach swiftly alleviates pain and restores function, ensuring fuller, faster recovery compared to traditional therapy methods. This is included in every adjustment session to ensure you are getting both the muscular component and skeletal benefits of each session. 

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, Coastal Chiropractic’s ART treatments are tailored to meet your individual needs.

Benefits of ART

Pain Relief

ART helps to alleviate pain by breaking down scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments, addressing the root cause of discomfort and promoting healing.

Improved Mobility

By releasing tight and restricted areas, ART enhances flexibility and range of motion, making it easier to perform daily activities and engage in physical exercise.

Enhanced Athletic Performance

ART can improve muscle function and coordination, leading to better performance in sports and physical activities, while also helping to prevent injuries.

Faster Recovery

ART promotes quicker recovery from injuries by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and facilitating the body’s natural healing processes, allowing patients to return to their regular activities sooner.

FAQs About ART

How does ART differ from regular massage therapy?

Unlike regular massage therapy, which focuses on relaxation, ART is a targeted treatment that specifically addresses soft tissue injuries and dysfunctions. It involves precise movements and pressure to break up adhesions and improve tissue function.

What conditions can ART help with?

ART can be effective for treating a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, and other soft tissue injuries. It’s also beneficial for improving athletic performance and recovery.

Is ART painful?

While ART can cause some discomfort due to the pressure applied to tight or injured areas, it is generally well-tolerated. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, and patients often experience significant relief and improved function after treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Some patients may experience relief after just a few sessions, while others with more chronic or severe issues may require a longer treatment plan. Our staff will develop a personalized plan based on your specific needs.
