Active Release Technique (ART) is one of the most effective deep tissue techniques that releases soft tissue restrictions/scar tissue resulting from Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and surgery. RSI is caused by repetitive physical movements that creates a damaging “cascade effect” to muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, fascia, circulatory structures, and other soft tissues. RSI sufferers come from many occupations ranging from musicians to athletes and from construction workers to computer operators.
At Synergy Therapies, ART is offered to those clients who want to continue their soft tissue management on a maintenance basis after discharge from formal physical therapy. ART is also offered to those clients who suffer from RSI’s and need a release for performance reasons. If during an ART session the physical therapist deems the ailment to be something other than soft tissue related, a physician consult will be recommended.
