ART (Active Release Techniques) is an active therapy recognized by many therapists and professionals as the most effective form of release work available. ART had been successfully used in Chiropractic Practices, Physical Therapy clinics, and by Athletic Trainers with various sports teams for numerous years. ART has continued to gain popularity and notoriety for its rapid results in increasing movement ability and improving overall performance. As such we are excited to provide this service directly to health club members and personal training clients through Ortho-Kinetics® Therapists who are licensed entities and certified ART practitioners.
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.
