Active Release Techniques:
A Proven Solution for Soft Tissue Management
Struggling with persistent musculoskeletal discomfort? If you’re frequently engaged in activities that require repetitive motion, such as sports, you might find relief through Active Release Techniques (ART). This hands-on treatment can effectively ease your pain.
Often, people experience pain that seems to have no clear cause. However, such pain usually stems from overuse injuries, which occur due to repetitive stress on the body’s soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. ART is specifically designed to mitigate these kinds of injuries, promoting healing and reducing pain and stiffness.

Understanding How Active Release Techniques Work
ART is focused on resolving adhesions—tough knots of scar tissue in your soft tissues that can develop after injuries. These adhesions might restrict movement and cause pain in your muscles and joints, as well as affect nerve function, potentially leading to symptoms like tingling or numbness.
In an ART session, a trained physical therapist will identify areas of tightness or abnormality. Using precise hand movements, they’ll manipulate these areas while you perform specific movements, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with these techniques; our skilled therapists at Anatomix Physical Therapy will guide you through each step, tailoring the treatment to suit your specific needs.
The Benefits of Active Release Techniques
ART isn’t just about alleviating pain—it also improves mobility. We often integrate ART into a broader physical therapy plan that might include exercises and functional training to ensure comprehensive care and optimal health outcomes.
Conditions that often respond well to ART include:
- Back and neck pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sports-related injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
