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.

Certified Active Release Technique (ART) Practitioners

Reduce Stress, Feel Great

Active Release Techniques has been proven effective in treating conditions like shoulder impingement, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatica, as well as back and neck pain.

If you believe an imbalanced or overused muscle causes your condition, ART may be the best option.

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.

I highly recommend Una Vita Chiropractic for friendly and professional care. I have been seeing Dr. Gary Barone for almost a month and I have been very impressed with the experience and results. The initial visit incorporated a thorough consultation and several scans using up to date technology. The follow-up consultation was thorough and the findings were very interesting, presented in video format which is great to refer back to. I have already felt a significant improvement in my upper back and shoulder, and I am amazed by how much better I feel after each visit.

I have been seeing Gary Barone for many years. He has never failed in returning me to feeling free and loose. I am a golfer and every now and then I have serious back pain which his treatments relieve the problem almost instantly. I would recommend Gary to anyone who has back and or neck issues. Without chiropractic care I would not be able to enjoy an active lifestyle that I have now.
