Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue method that focuses on relieving tissue tension via the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop as a result of overload due to repetitive use. ART was developed and patented by Dr. P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine. Dr. Leahy noticed that the symptoms of patients were related to changes in their soft tissues so he developed this technique which revolved completely around the patient’s symptoms. He documented his first work in 1985 under the title of Myofascial Release, but later patented it under the name Active Release Techniques.
Treats the soft tissue dysfunctions with ART to restore full function to the affected structures. ART Performance Care is applied after trauma based injuries have resolved. ART Performance Care concentrates upon removing restrictions that inhibit full range of motion, and in restoring full function and performance to affected soft tissues. This process can result in significant increases in sports performance of power, strength, and flexibility.
The Purpose of ART
ART is used to treat symptoms with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Its design is threefold:
- To restore free and unimpeded motion of all soft tissues to release entrapped nerves
- Vasculature and lymphatics to re-establish optimal texture
- Resilience and function of soft tissues.
