Active Release Technique(ART) is a soft tissue based manual intervention designed to identify through palpation restrictions and adhesions within or between muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and peripheral nerves. ART facilitates the restoration of pain-free ROM and helps break the cumulative injury cycle from daily activities or work related tasks.
Active Release Technique is the gold standard of soft tissue intervention and is growing within physical therapy, chiropractic, and athletic training interventions for improving rehabilitations. The Center currently has the only ART certified physical therapist in the Grand Rapids Area.
Who Would Benefit from ART?
