Active Release Techniques®
How it works
ART® breaks up scar tissue, also called adhesions, which limit the normal range of motion of joints and muscles. James uses ART® to treat neck, shoulder, back, hip or knee pain, headaches, sciatica, bursitis and repetitive strain injuries.
ART® is recognised by Occupational Health & Safety in the USA as best practice for management of repetitive strain (RSI) and overuse injuries in the work place.
Benefits
Effective soft tissue technique for repetitive strain injuries – resolution of injury possible after 1-2 treatments.
ART® is an early intervention approach which prevents minor issues from escalating into major injuries.
Staff can get back to work faster and avoid missing days or weeks off work due to injury.
ART® Background
Dr. P. Michael Leahy started Active Release Techniques® (ART®) 40 years ago, when he was working with elite athletes to treat soft tissue disorders, to get them back to peak performance as quickly as possible.
Leahy studied engineering in the air force before becoming a chiropractor in 1984. As he watched athletes perform and studied their movement, he realized he could combine his engineering study with his chiropractic knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics to treat their soft tissue disorders quickly and get them back into competition.
Since 1988, ART® has been patented - and over 10,000 providers have been trained. ART® has treated and transformed the lives of over 100 million people worldwide. Relieving joint stress and muscle pain is a core benefit of ART®, a soft tissue system, movement-based technique.
Leahy: “Half of the problems we deal with are neuromusculoskeletal. If even half of those could be treated with ART® instead of other therapies and surgeries, that would be huge savings in healthcare. That is potential for big change. When I think about what ART® could do, my hope is that a whole lot of people will not lose their jobs, work in pain, or quit their sport because of soft-tissue problems.”
