March 7, 2017Active Release Technique effectively treats symptoms from overused muscles and tissues that compromise the way you move and function every day. Micro-damage to tissues from overuse can produce dense scar tissue that negatively impacts the neighboring healthy tissue. Unhealthy or weakened tissues and muscles puts you at greater risk for injuries. Tight, compromised muscles can unnaturally pull at your joint and irritate your nerves. Overuse injuries can be treated effectively with the Active Release Technique (ART)–a tissue-focused massage method that targets the affected muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments.
Movement-Based Therapy for Effective Recovery
Maximum mobility and restoration of your soft-tissue function can be achieved with the Active Release Technique (ART) at Texas Spine and Sports Therapy Center in Austin. Dr. Bart Atencio D.C has advanced training and is credentialed in the use of Active Release Technique® (ART) for soft tissue mobilization. Designed to repair dysfunctions of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves, Active Release Technique® is a patented and highly-effective movement-based therapy. Results are achieved through more than 500 treatment moves or protocols that aim to identify problem areas, apply contact tension, and lengthen the tissue or make it move smoothly to the adjacent tissue. This hands-on manipulation helps to safely, and permanently, break up scar tissue that is adversely affecting your muscular function.
Why is the Active Release Technique Necessary?
First developed in the 1980s by Colorado sports chiropractor Mike Leahy, the Active Release Technique became popular among pro athletes because of its effectiveness at preventing injury and treating dysfunction. Overused muscles are usually a result of improper training, problems with form during activity, and imbalances in strength and flexibility. Injuries to soft tissues from repetitive behaviors or injuries lead to scar tissue that often results in muscle adhesions and nerve entrapments. These tissue irregularities cause changes to tissue texture, tension and cause the muscle to move incorrectly. Muscle irregularities and tissue problems lead to discomfort, pain, stiffness and immobility. Nerve entrapment can cause symptoms of tingling, numbness, and weakness.
What Issues Can ART Address?
The Active Release Technique is a hands-on, soft tissue movement and stretching technique that addresses problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, muscle strains/sprains, peripheral nerve entrapment, tennis elbow, TMJ/TMD and sports injuries are just a few of the most common ailments that respond well to Active Release Therapy.
