ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE
What is Active Release Technique (ART)? As the name denotes, you are using your own body to actively help release other areas that need to be released by using specific movements that directly address specific muscles.
Its uses are:
· to restore texture, motion, and function of soft tissue.
· to release any vessels or nerves that may be entrapped.
· removal of adhesions or fibrosis in the soft tissue
· eliminates pain/dysfunction associated with adhesions
