Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) Treatments
Relieve Pain and Restore Function with A.R.T.
At 5280 Spine & Sport, we utilize Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) to effectively diagnose and treat soft-tissue injuries. Our approach helps patients recover quickly and prevent future injuries.
What is Active Release Technique?
Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) is a specialized, movement-based treatment designed to address soft-tissue injuries caused by scar tissue formation. When muscles, tendons, or ligaments are injured, they often become tight and inflamed, leading to reduced circulation and the formation of scar tissue. This scar tissue can bind muscle fibers together, resulting in pain, restricted movement, and increased susceptibility to re-injury. A.R.T. aims to break down these adhesions, restore proper function, and alleviate discomfort.
How Does A.R.T. Work?
A.R.T. sessions involve a combination of examination and treatment. Our trained practitioners use their hands to assess the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. By applying precise pressure and guiding patients through specific movements, we can break down scar tissue and improve the range of motion. With over 500 unique treatment protocols, A.R.T. is tailored to each individual's anatomy, ensuring a targeted and effective approach to healing.
Addressing Overuse and Acute Injuries
Overuse injuries, such as those caused by repetitive strain, micro-trauma, or hypoxia, can lead to the development of dense scar tissue. This scar tissue can cause muscles to shorten, weaken, and trap nerves, resulting in pain, reduced strength, and limited range of motion. A.R.T. addresses these issues by freeing up the affected tissues, restoring normal function, and preventing further complications. This method is a non-invasive alternative to surgery and can often achieve significant improvements without the need for medications.
