The use of a patented targeted massage treatment, known as Active Release Technique (ART), can significantly improve many soft tissue and nerve damage injuries. Whether you are a long-distance runner, or sit at a desk all day, ART can help alleviate pain in problem areas. The soft-tissue system and movement-based massage technique treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments fascia and nerves. A safe and effective alternative to steroid injections and surgery, ART can significantly shorten healing time for many common injuries.
