A Pathway to Recovery
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we are dedicated to providing innovative and effective treatments that empower our clients to take charge of their health. Our Active Release Technique (ART) is a specialized hands-on therapy designed to diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries. By focusing on the body’s unique needs, ART allows for optimal recovery and enhances your overall well-being.
What is Active Release Technique?
Active Release Technique is a cutting-edge manual therapy that targets the muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. This technique is particularly effective for addressing conditions related to overuse, trauma, and repetitive motion injuries. Through a combination of precise movements and specific pressure, ART helps to restore proper function and promote healing in affected areas.
How Does Active Release Technique Work?
Choosing ActiveCare for your ART sessions means you will receive a thorough and personalized approach to your care:
- Detailed Assessment: Your experience begins with a comprehensive evaluation where our therapists assess your health history, physical condition, and specific pain points. This initial consultation allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your individual needs and goals.
- Targeted Treatment: During your ART session, our skilled therapists use their hands to identify areas of tension and dysfunction. By applying specific pressure while guiding you through active movements, we release adhesions and restore optimal function to muscles and connective tissues.
- Active Participation: Unlike passive treatments, ART requires your active involvement during the therapy. You will perform specific movements as our therapist applies pressure, which enhances the effectiveness of the treatment and facilitates a faster recovery.
- Empowerment Through Education: At ActiveCare, we believe in empowering our clients. Alongside the treatment, we provide guidance on injury prevention and self-care strategies, equipping you with the knowledge to maintain your progress long after your sessions.
Benefits of Active Release Technique:
- Pain Relief: ART is highly effective in alleviating pain associated with various conditions, including headaches, neck and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries.
- Improved Mobility: By addressing restrictions in the muscles and fascia, ART enhances your range of motion, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
- Faster Recovery: ART promotes the body’s natural healing processes, which can significantly reduce recovery time after injuries or surgeries.
- Enhanced Performance: Whether you’re an athlete or simply looking to improve your physical function, ART can help optimize your performance by restoring proper biomechanics and muscle function.
