Active Release Technique (ART)
This active treatment involves both movement and manipulation. It can feel uncomfortable during the movement phase as the scar tissue or adhesions “break-up”. The discomfort is temporary, and subsides after the treatment. This soft tissue treatment was developed by P. Michael Leahy, a chiropractor who had a background in aeronautical engineering.
