IS ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE?
Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) is a
hands-on technique that specifically finds and releases areas
of scar tissue and adhesion (tears in the muscle) thereby getting
rid of pain, numbness, loss of mobility and weakness in muscular
joints.
Scar tissue is the body’s quick
fix solution to repair strains to muscles, tendons, ligaments
or even nerves. It is like glue in that it holds the torn fibers
together as they heal. However, the process goes overboard. When
there is not enough time to heal before the tissue is being used
again, the scar tissue then starts to adhere to other healthy
tissues.
The result is pain, numbness, stiffness
and weakness. An entire change in the body’s biomechanics
occurs.
A. R. T. is effective with acute or chronic
areas of injury.
Chiropractors earn a degree
from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
We currently have 1 chiropractor
that practices ART at Club Physio Plus

follow through with the appropriate stretching.
