Active Release Techniques

As a certified Active Release Technique (ART) provider, Mark uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. He uses ART treatment protocols—over 500 specific moves—to identify and correct your unique problem. Using ART is far from a cookie-cutter approach. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. The use of ART in your treatment program provides a means to effectively, and rapidly, resolve injuries prior to surgical intervention. It's a hands-on therapy that corrects muscular and soft tissue problems caused by scar tissue created by overuse and cumulative or repetitive stress trauma. Through this process, we are able to locate and break down the scar tissue—adhesions—which cause pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness and physical dysfunctions associated with strain or injury. Like any treatment, ART is not a miracle cure for every condition. However, when properly employed, the documented success rate of ART is over 90%, even with such chronic problems as carpal tunnel syndromes and rotator cuff tendonitis.
