Active Release Techniques (ART) is a hands-on system of care that is highly effective for sports injury rehabilitation.  Practitioners (usually chiropractors) spend hundreds of hours training and becoming certified in ART.  

The ART system includes hundreds of protocols for soft tissue in the arms, legs, torso, and spine. This includes muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as fascia, nerves, and connective tissues. 

Providers of Active Release Techniques use their hands and fingers to locate dense, thickened, or tight tissues.  

After identifying the problem tissues, the chiropractor will use precise tension and a specific movement to lengthen the soft tissue. To ensure lasting results, your chiropractor may combine this technique with other modalities or specific rehabilitation exercises.

How does ART work?

When a muscle is overused, scar tissue forms that can restrict mobility. Scar tissue can also irritate nerves or cause nerve entrapment, and blood vessels that supply oxygen and blood to tissues may become blocked.

These situations can be very painful. However, once the tissues have been released, and the muscle’s balance restored, things improve.

Ask our chiropractors about Active Release Techniques. Our chiropractors are all certified ART providers.  ART is used as a regular part of your chiropractic visits at Una Vita when appropriate.  


Frequently Asked Questions

ART works by breaking up adhesions, which are dense collections of scar tissue that form when muscles and connective tissues are injured. When the scar tissue binds between your muscles, it limits flexibility, causing pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.

Procedures don’t usually cause pain. Though discomfort may occur due to the manipulation of already sore tissue. After therapy, you’ll feel soreness that will dissipate within a few days.
