What is Active Release Techniques® (ART)?
Since 1984, Active Release Techniques® has been the gold standard in soft tissue therapy — used by elite sports teams, Olympic medical staff, and top chiropractors worldwide.
ART works by releasing scar tissue adhesions that restrict mobility, irritate nerves, and contribute to pain. It’s particularly effective for treating overuse injuries and improving range of motion in hard-to-stretch areas like the shoulders, hips, and spine.

How Is ART Different?
One of the key features that sets ART apart is the Diagnostic Algorithm — a step-by-step process that allows certified providers to pinpoint the exact structure causing pain or restriction.
From orthopedic testing to functional movement analysis, your ART treatment is designed to be as targeted as it is effective.
For example, if you're dealing with shoulder impingement, we identify the specific muscle or nerve entrapment contributing to the problem — then treat it with focused, hands-on therapy.
