Active Release Technique (ART)
Free Up “Sticky” Movement Fast With Targeted, Hands‑on Care
What Is ART And How Does It Work?
ART is a focused, hands‑on “pin‑and‑stretch” method to free tight tissue so your joints move the way they should.
- We’ll find a tight spot in a muscle, tendon, ligament, or nearby tissue.
- We’ll shorten that tissue and apply precise pressure with the hand.
- You actively move through the motion we cue.
You’ll notice less “grab,” and a calmer nervous system, which makes motion feel natural again.
What Conditions Can ART Help?
We reach for ART when you’ve got:
- Recurring shoulder or hip tightness
- “Grabby” hamstring or calf under load
- Plantar fasciitis and stubborn foot/ankle pain
- Tennis elbow/golfer’s elbow
- Neck or low‑back stiffness from sitting, lifting, or sport
- “Pinchy/zingy” sensations from irritated soft tissue
- Post‑sprain/strain mobility limits
Many people feel lighter and looser in session one. For chronic or sport‑specific issues, we’ll map a short plan and give a simple home routine so gains hold up when you train.
