Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue technique that addresses problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.

There are a number of conditions that can be quickly and permanently resolved using ART, including headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

ART was developed 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.

Active Release Technique (ART) is not covered by insurance.
