Active Release Technique, or ART, is a unique and hands on approach to the treatment of soft tissue injuries, whether acute or chronic. It utilizes a combination of the provider’s manual skills and specific patient movements to improve the flexibility of tendons, muscles, fascia, ligaments and nerves.

ART, when combined with more traditional forms of flexibility and strengthening, can help in the treatment of:

• Repetitive motion injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Soft tissue injuries
• Nerve entrapments
• Sports injuries

ART helps to identify and treat the underlying cause of symptoms to restore maximum function.

Vermont Sports Medicine Center is able to provide ART soft tissue treatments to the patients referred to our clinics.
