what is A.R.T.® active release technique?

A.R.T.® is a patented soft-tissue, movement based treatment system designed to remove small areas of scar tissue or “adhesions” that develop in muscles, tendons, ligament or fascia as a result of injury and/or overuse.

Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:

1. Acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc)
2. Accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
3. Not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)
