What is Active Release Technique and the Benefits of ART?

Active Release Technique (ART) is a cornerstone of our treatment approach at Back in Motion Physical Therapy & Performance. This specialized hands-on technique involves the precise application of tension combined with specific patient movements to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function. Our therapists are highly trained in ART, which targets and releases adhesions in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. By addressing the underlying causes of your discomfort, ART helps restore normal movement patterns and accelerates your recovery, allowing you to get back to your daily activities and favorite sports with greater ease and confidence.

Benefits of Active Release Technique:

  • Pain Relief: ART can significantly reduce pain by targeting and alleviating the source of discomfort.

  • Improved Mobility: By breaking up adhesions and scar tissue, ART enhances your range of motion.

  • Faster Recovery: This hands-on approach accelerates healing by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.

  • Enhanced Function: ART helps restore normal movement patterns, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.

  • Prevention of Future Injuries: By addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction, ART helps prevent future injuries and chronic conditions.

Is Active Release Technique Safe? Does it Hurt?

Active Release Technique is safe, and no, it does not hurt!

One of the greatest aspects of ART is that it is non-invasive and doesn’t require any harmful medications. Our physical therapists at Back in Motion Physical Therapy & Performance are highly trained medical professionals who understand the limitations and capabilities of your body.

In fact, many patients notice improvement after just one session of ART! Our physical therapists use a variety of techniques to move your tendons, ligaments, and joints in ways that relieve pain and promote healing. They also help reduce scar tissue and minimize swelling.

How Can Active Release Technique Benefit Me?

ART is a vital aspect of a successful physical therapy treatment plan. It helps to:

  • Reduce Pain and Swelling: Alleviates discomfort and decreases inflammation.

  • Minimize Inflammation: Promotes healing by reducing inflammatory responses.

  • Increase Range of Motion: Improves flexibility and mobility.

Our physical therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders, ensuring you receive the relief you need at our clinic.

Movement disorders often occur following surgery, especially if a patient has undergone total joint replacement. Many primary care physicians prescribe physical therapy treatments for injuries, accidents, or illnesses—essentially, anything that makes you feel weak and unable to function at your normal physical levels.

Your treatment plan will likely include several different therapies, each aimed at improving specific functions of your body. Some exercises may focus on enhancing your balance and strength, while others may target increasing your range of motion.
