Active Release Technique in Midtown Manhattan
Targeting Muscle Adhesions, Scar Tissue, and Movement Restrictions
Active Release Technique (ART) is a specialized hands-on treatment designed to identify and treat soft tissue restrictions that can cause pain, stiffness, weakness, and limited mobility. ART focuses on breaking down scar tissue and adhesions that develop within muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
At Herald Square Chiropractic & Sport, ART is frequently used to help patients recover from sports injuries, repetitive stress conditions, and chronic muscular tension.
