Active Release Technique in Hamilton
What is Active Release Technique?
Active Release Technique™, or ART™, is a soft tissue release/massage method that focuses on relieving tissue tension. ART™ accomplishes this by breaking up the adhesions which can occur as a result of repetitive strain or injury. Our chiropractors use it to reduce your pain and therefore restore your ability to move.
What Are the Benefits of ART™?
- Restore free and unrestricted motion of soft tissues.
- Release entrapped nerves, blood, and lymph vessels.
- Re-establish healthy function, tone, and circulation to muscle.
Conditions Treated by ART™
- Chronic headaches
- Back pain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Shin splints
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Sciatica
- Tennis Elbow
What Can I Expect During ART™ Treatment?
Our chiropractors (who are certified in Active Release Technique™) will first evaluate your movements, including strength, range of motion, and any tender/painful spots.
Once the assessment is complete, each area of dysfunction will be treated.
The basic form of an ART™ treatment is this:
- The muscle under treatment will be shortened.
- The chiropractor will use his or her hands to apply compression and tension to the shortened muscle.
- The patient will then be instructed to move in a certain direction until their tissue end range is felt.
