ART (Active Release Technique) is one of the most precise soft-tissue tools in our toolkit. The provider applies tension to a specific muscle, tendon, or nerve while the patient moves the area through a defined range. The combination of focused pressure and active motion releases adhesions that traditional massage can't reach.

Common conditions we treat with ART

  • Carpal tunnel symptoms
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tennis and golfer's elbow
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Hamstring and IT band tightness
  • Sciatic nerve entrapment patterns
