When tissue is injured, the body responds with scar tissue. This tissue is part of an important process which helps to quickly restore tissue strength, helping you to continue with your daily functioning. However, this process is not efficient in terms of long term function. In the end, scar tissue becomes adherent to surrounding structures. This can create a reduced range of motion which leads to faulty movement patterns, or even create compression on blood vessels and nervous tissue.

Active Release Technique® can help restore your function and reduce your symptoms.
