Active Release Techniques (ART™) is a patented soft tissue management system that treats problems that develop in muscle, tendons, ligaments fascia and nerves. This new and highly successful treatment not only for athletes, but for anyone, whether they lead an extremely active life or sit at a computer all day. Many daily activities cause repetitive stress and lead to the formation of scar tissue and adhesions, which hinders the movement and function of soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves). This creates symptoms of pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, numbness, and weakness.

Active Release Techniques Soft Tissue Management System (ART™) is the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries, which are a result of repetitive stress, or trauma such as whiplash. It is a method of healing injuries by locating scar tissue, then applying tension to the scar tissue while lengthening the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. ART™ returns tissue to its correct tension, texture, movement and function; thus eliminating symptoms. ART™ and chiropractic manipulation compliment each other very strongly in many cases and are frequently used together at our clinic in Panorama Hills.
