ALMOST NOTHING RELEASES MUSCULAR TENSION LIKE ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE
If you’ve had years of bad posture (think daily keyboard warrior) then it’s highly possible that you’re tight and feeling it. Or, maybe you’re hitting the gym and noticing a restricted range of motion and tightness or pain in specific areas. Then Active Release Technique could be right for you.
WHAT IS TIGHTNESS?
In a healthy scenario, your muscles slide smoothly over each other and have great individual responsiveness because the fibres are aligned like nicely combed hair. But in a ‘tight’ scenario, your muscles have started to stick to each other (imagine dreadlocks) due to misalignment and the tangling of your myosin (muscle) fibres.
This makes it difficult for them to function properly which results in a limited range of motion, and sometimes even pain.
Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) is a new and highly regarded specialised therapy that works through these tangles and separates muscle adhesions.
How? Maximum release is achieved by applying precise tension to the problematic area while getting the patient to move their limb through specific ranges of motion.
“A.R.T. removed tension I have held in my upper back, shoulders, and neck for years. I had been living with these for so long and I thought it was normal. I’m a huge fan of active release technique! “ – EMMA
ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE IS BEST FOR
ATHLETES & FREQUENT
EXERCISERS
TIGHT DESK WARRIORS
ANY NERVE OR MUSCLE IMPINGEMENT
It’s also very effective as a form of maintenance to ensure muscle health and functionality, so you can move at your best all year round and be less prone to injuries.
