About Active Release Technique®
Muscle overuse can lead to a variety of ailments including back pain, headaches, knee problems and carpal tunnel syndrome. Active release is a soft tissue therapy focused on correcting problems involving soft tissues including muscles, ligaments and tendons.
The Technique
It may involve either active or passive stretching along with direct pressure, focused on removing adhesions or scar tissue in the muscles involved. The goal is to restore motion and function of the problem area and release any entrapped nerves or blood vessels, in turn eliminating pain.
