Active Release Technique, or A.R.T., is the gold standard treatment for treating the soft-tissue aches and pains. It incorporates manual pressure and patient movement. The massage-like movements allow the doctor to target problematic muscles, tendons, fascia, ligaments and sometimes even nerves— all of which are referred to as “soft tissues”.

Chiropractors use active release technique to treat an array of soft tissue conditions with the goal of increased mobility and function.
