Active Release Techniques in Bend, Oregon

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a soft-tissue system of protocols, movement, and deep-tissue massage that's helped me bring complete pain relief to just about every body I've treated.

"The success rate of this treatment is over 90% - even with chronic problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendonitis."--Dr. Michael Leahy, ART founder

When your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues get injured by overuse or impact, your body produces tough, dense scar tissue around the affected area, which shortens the tissue and causes inflammation in the joints.

The result is dull and/or sharp pain from decreased blood and oxygen flow to the tissue, entrapped nerves, and parts of the body that can't move normally.

Resolve the core problem ... not just the symptoms

After identifying the root cause of your pain - versus just treating symptoms - I'll combine movement and massage to release your muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves from their "stuck" condition and put an end to your "cumulative injury cycle."

Colorado chiropractor Michael Leahy developed Active Release Techniques in the early 1980's and has treated Denver Bronco football players with remarkably quick and effective results to keep more players in play more of the time - without pain.

Now every NFL football team has an on-site Active Release provider , as do many other professional sports organizations.

These techniques use friction and tension to actually “tear” or “shear” adhesions away from muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. No doubt, the small amount of discomfort that you may feel from this release is well worth the long-term payoff in permanent elimination of the injury and pain.

ART was described in a Runner’s World article as “…a rigorous and interactive form of massage therapy in which a practitioner applies pressure to the affected area while moving the surrounding muscles through a full range of motion.”

ART combined with massage can help you resolve and avoid injury, pain, and even surgery.
