What IS Active Release Techniques Treatment?

If we had to guess, you've likely asked yourself that question at least once since hearing about ART. So, let us introduce you to ART treatment, the Gold Standard in Soft-Tissue Care. ART treatment is a non-invasive system precisely engineered to locate and quickly resolve soft-tissue disorders in muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

How Treatment Works:
1. Identify aberrations in tissue texture, tension, movement, and function through palpation and test movement.
2. Target dysfunction by isolating the structure and utilizing one or more ART treatment protocols, combining precise touch and tension with specific patient movement.
3. Repeat. It is not uncommon for a secondary problem to be exposed after the initial treatment is complete.

To maintain certification, an ART provider must re-certify yearly. Make sure your provider is current!

Did you know....Dr. Maloy has been a certified ART provider since 2008? She holds 11 ART certifications and is an ART instructor, teaching the technique to other doctors and providers around the country.

"I want to find an ART Certified Provider in my area...should I just do a Google search?"

No. The bottom line is, many people claim to be ART Certified when they're not. If you're interested in trying out some ART treatment, be sure to use our Find a Provider tool.

This tool takes the guesswork out of finding a certified provider, allowing you to find someone in your area with the certification type you need. Have pain in your hand? Filter your results to include providers with an Upper Extremity Level 1 or 2 certification. Knee pain? Filter for Lower Extremity Level 1 or 2. Check it out 👇

Home office situation have you rubbing your sore shoulders? Just a few tips can be very helpful...

• Get up often, take a break, stretch, fold laundry, let the dog out, whatever.

• Use your armrests! Most people use the muscles in their upper back/shoulders to keep their arms lifted off the armrests, so go ahead and use them.

• The top of your monitor should be at eye level and about an arm’s length away from you.

• Drink more water! Then you’ll have to go to the bathroom. Now you’ve accomplished step 1 without even trying!

• Consider a standing desk, especially one that will allow you to either sit or stand. It’s probably cheaper than the chiropractor!

• Still suffering? Let us help you with customized stretches and strengthening exercises that you can do at home during your breaks.
