ART
Active Release Techniques
THE GOLD STANDARD IN SOFT-TISSUE CARE
HOW DOES IT WORK?
01
DIAGNOSIS
During the diagnostic process, I utilize my hands to identify aberrations in tissue texture, tension, and movement, continuing until I determine the root cause of a condition.
02
TREATMENT
Once identified, the condition is targeted by one or more ART treatment protocols, each combining precise touch with specific patient movements to restore proper function and relieve pain.
03
RELIEF
Because the ART system is unique, the results are uncommon. There are no known side effects and most conditions, including strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), are resolved in just five or fewer treatment sessions.
WHO IS IT FOR?
"I urge everyone dealing with soft-tissue or nerve conditions to consider ART and its benefits as a first option. You can save yourself the emotional, physical, and monetary expense of invasive, costly, and high-risk courses of treatment. ART benefits those who are injured or hurting. There is no reason to live with soft tissue pain, discomfort and dysfunction. Instead, see me first and make ART your first choice for soft-tissue care. You'll be glad you did!"

Two Distinct Advantages
The ART System allows us two distinct advantages: (1) Determining the actual root issue, instead of focusing solely on the location of the pain; and (2) Delivering effective treatment to a pinpointed structure. The result: better outcomes, faster.
Touch Makes the Difference
Touch is an important psychomotor skill directly correlated with successful and rapid treatment. ART is the only modality that utilizes effective and comfortable touch as one of its keystones. ART Certified Providers are highly trained in the only soft-tissue system that incorporates a diagnostic process to accurately and efficiently determine the specific tissues generating pain and altered movement.
