What Is Active Release Therapy
A Hands-On Technique That Targets and Treats Soft Tissue Restrictions
Active Release Therapy (ART) is a precise manual treatment designed to relieve pain and tension caused by overused or tight muscles. During ART, the practitioner applies targeted pressure while guiding the muscle through specific movements. This process helps break down adhesions, release trapped nerves, and restore proper muscle function.
ART also improves blood flow, flushes out toxins, and enhances flexibility, allowing your muscles to move naturally and efficiently. It’s highly effective for sports injuries, repetitive strain, chronic stiffness, and restricted mobility, helping you recover faster and move with confidence.
Recognize the Symptoms
How Do You Know If You Need Active Release Therapy?
Active Release Therapy (ART) targets tight, overused muscles and soft tissue restrictions. These problems can develop gradually and may not always cause obvious pain at first, but they can affect your movement, performance, and overall comfort. Many people often misinterpret these symptoms as general stiffness, joint pain, or even minor injuries that “will go away on their own.”
Active Release Therapy
If you’ve struggled with chronic muscle tension, stiffness, or limited movement, you may have already tried stretching, massages, or even pain medication — only to find temporary relief. These methods can help improve circulation, but they often don’t address the underlying restriction in your muscles or fascia.
Active Release Therapy (ART) is one of the most effective solutions for treating these soft tissue problems at their source. The technique involves a skilled practitioner using precise manual pressure while guiding your muscle through specific motions. This unique combination helps to break down adhesions, release trapped nerves, and restore full, pain-free movement.
During your session, the therapist carefully identifies areas of tightness or resistance in the muscle. Gentle but targeted pressure is then applied while the muscle lengthens and shortens under control. As the tissue relaxes, tension melts away, circulation improves, and mobility is restored — helping you feel lighter, stronger, and free from pain.

Conditions Treated with Active Release Therapy
Active Release Therapy is widely used to relieve pain, restore motion, and heal injuries caused by muscle tightness, adhesions, and tissue strain. Below are some of the most common conditions effectively treated with ART.
How can Chiropractic help?
Diagnose the right condition for a personalised treatment
Our chiropractors will assess the cause and severity of your condition with a physical assessment during the consultation. In addition to the physical exam, we'll look into your past medical history and any recent X-ray results available to pinpoint the cause of the pain. Determining the source of the pain is essential to recommend the right method of treatment and rehabilitation. Treatment will be customised to your condition and these options can include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
To improve overall functionality and alleviate the stress on your system.
Myofascial Therapy
Relaxes contracted muscles and releases the fascia that covers the muscle.
Active Release Therapy
Usually applied for patients with chronic pain issues to treat the soft injury tissue by breaking the adhesions.
Sports Taping
Holds muscles and bone together, reduces pain, and aids recovery.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy, using an isolated finger pressure, will “deactivate” the trigger points and alleviate the pain.
Electrotherapy (TENS machine)
TENS help to block the transmission of pain signals along the nerves and also release the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins.
