About Active Release Technique®

Every session is a combination of an examination and an adjustment.

The Examination

I'll use my hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. If scar tissue is present, I'll be able to feel it because it will be preventing soft tissues from moving properly. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength and even pain. If nerve tissue is trapped, there may be tingling, numbness and weakness as well.

The Adjustment

Runners and athletes of all types often suffer from injuries
that respond to our approach.

When problems are detected, I choose from over 500 specific protocols. I’ll apply precise amounts of pressure while you move or bend in specific ways that aid in the correction of your condition.

These manual maneuvers are normally applied at the site of your injury. Excellent results have been reported with the neuromuscular system:

Muscles
Tendons
Ligaments
Fascia

This work will often resolve a number of common health complaints:

Headaches
Back pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Shin splints
Shoulder pain
Sciatica
Plantar fasciitis
Knee problems
Tennis elbow

Most of these conditions share one important common denominator: overused muscles. We use this technique because it’s a proven, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that helps many muscle-related conditions resolved quickly and permanently.
