Active Release Technique (ART)​

Precision Soft Tissue Therapy at First Line Health

Active Release Technique® (ART) is a specialized hands-on treatment used to address muscle tightness, soft tissue restrictions, and nerve-related irritation.

ART is ideal for active individuals dealing with overuse injuries or chronic tension.

What Is ART?

ART focuses on treating dysfunction in:

  • Muscles

  • Fascia

  • Tendons

  • Ligaments

  • Nerves

Over time, injury or repetitive stress can lead to scar tissue
and adhesions that limit motion and cause pain.

ART helps restore normal tissue movement.

Conditions ART May Help

ART is commonly used for:

  • Shoulder and rotator cuff tightness

  • Hip flexor and glute restrictions

  • Sciatica or nerve irritation

  • Tennis elbow and forearm pain

  • IT band syndrome

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Chronic neck and upper back tension

What to Expect

ART sessions combine:

  • Precise tissue tension

  • Guided movement

  • Functional assessment

This allows highly targeted treatment rather than general massage.
