Active release techniques, or ART®, are patented soft tissue, movement-based massage techniques that treat muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. A myriad of conditions, often the result of overused muscles, can be permanently resolved using ART®. Common conditions treated with ART® include headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis or golfer’s elbow.
Overused muscles and soft tissues can cause scar tissue. Throughout ART® treatment, patients may see an increase in range of motion, increased strength and a reduction in pain. ART® allows physical therapists to identify and correct specific problems affecting individual patients. It is a truly unique treatment approach.
“I’ve gone to Epic Physical Therapy for several injuries and can’t recommend them highly enough. The owner, Ryan, is very knowledgeable and is always up with the latest in recovery techniques. He understood how important it was for me to get back to my active lifestyle as quickly as possible without putting me at risk for further injury. Epic took a holistic approach to heal my injuries and help address some of the root causes. These physical therapists are passionate about helping their patients and getting them back to what they love to do.”
