Details About Active Release Technique (ART)

Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated.--Jay Goltz
Running Adds Life To My Day.---Dr. George Sheehan

ART (Active Release Techniques) is a soft tissue management system. ART was originated by Dr. P. Michael Leahy. An ART provider can palpitate muscular injuries and nerve entrapments, which can cause numbness and tingling. ART providers can address scar tissue which may have restricted range of motion and caused compression over nerves or blood supply. An ART provider can address injuries related to auto accidents, sports, repetitive motions or routine hard work. After assessing the injury, an ART provider palpitates the specific condition and uses patient motion for the problem area. Although session duration and frequency vary according to the severity of the injury.

Prescriptions are recommended. 
Here at Fine Tuning Therapy, Inc. We deal primarily with people recommended by physicians, physical therapists, psychotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists.  In certain instances we deal with Professional Athletes who are recommended by their trainers and agents.  We recommend prescriptions primarily for non-athletic injuries due to the fact when a person has a medical record of their injury or ailment(s) it helps the therapist know what not to do and protects the client and therapist during the session. Fine Tuning Therapy, Inc. relies quite often on what medical authority directs us to focus on, and what other problems may be facilitating the client's need for such therapies.
