Active Release Technique is Solving Even the Toughest Cases Without Surgery or Injections

When an injury occurs to a muscle, tendon or ligament, it tends to become tight and inflamed.  A cycle begins to take place where friction and inflammation around the injured area increases, causing the area to swell and constricting normal blood flow.  The body’s natural response to this inflammation and reduced circulation is fibrosis and adhesions.

This fibrosis and adhesions glues together the muscle fibers and surrounding structures, leading to pain and improper function.  The muscles become tight, leathery and bound-up with a higher probability to injure again.  The pain comes and goes causing each flare-up to a little worse than the previous.  Hence, the cycle continues.  Physical therapy, massage and even chiropractic typically cannot fix this problem.  At this point, most doctors would perform surgery,  with minimal results and months of rehab.

Why does Soft Tissue pain linger?

Doesn't your body have the ability to heal itself? When you cut yourself, or break a bone, the body will mend it. So what about the injured area that is affecting you now? Why hasn't it healed and why does your pain still linger? Read more about the most common reasons.

Active Release

ART has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems. He now teaches and certifies health care providers all over the world to use ART. See the ART page for more details.
