Active Release Technique

Active Release Technique (ART) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

 

 

Muscle tightness, repetitive strain, and movement restrictions can develop over time due to daily activity, work demands, or sports participation. When soft tissue becomes restricted, discomfort may persist even when joints are functioning properly. Active Release Technique, commonly known as ART, is a hands-on therapy designed to address these soft tissue issues and support better movement.

Eastern Oklahoma Chiropractic provides Active Release Technique for patients in Broken Arrow, OK and surrounding communities as part of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan focused on improving mobility and reducing muscle tension.

 

What Is Active Release Technique?

Active Release Technique treatment Broken Arrow Oklahoma
Active Release Technique is a specialized manual therapy that focuses on muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. The technique involves applying targeted pressure to affected tissues while guiding the area through specific movements.

This combination helps reduce tension, break down adhesions that develop from overuse or injury, and restore normal movement patterns. ART is commonly used to address problems related to repetitive strain, muscle imbalance, and soft tissue restrictions.

 

Conditions Commonly Addressed With ART

Active Release Technique may be recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Muscle tightness and stiffness
  • Repetitive strain injuries
  • Sports-related muscle conditions
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Postural strain from work or daily activity
  • Chronic muscle tension

By addressing restrictions within the soft tissues, ART helps support improved mobility, circulation, and overall comfort.

 

How Active Release Technique Supports Chiropractic Care

Active Release Technique works well alongside chiropractic adjustments. While chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper joint motion and spinal alignment, ART addresses the surrounding muscles and connective tissues that influence how those joints move.

When both joints and soft tissues function properly, patients often experience improved movement, reduced muscle tension, and better overall physical performance.

 

ART for Athletes and Active Individuals

Athletes and physically active individuals frequently experience muscle overuse and repetitive stress. Active Release Technique helps support recovery, reduce strain, and improve movement efficiency during physical activity.

Many individuals also use ART as part of ongoing care to help maintain mobility, support training performance, and reduce the risk of future soft tissue injuries.

Chiropractic care not only addresses pain in the lower back (lumbar spine) and upper back (thoracic spine), but the end result helps with a number of issues throughout the body including sciatica which is commonly attributed to low back dysfunction. More often than not, chiropractic care helps alleviate acute and chronic back pain. Before beginning chiropractic care, every patient will receive an evaluation by Dr. Travis Ring. During the evaluation portion of the appointment, you may be asked questions such as:

 

 

  • Where is most of your back pain located?

  • Do you remember when your back pain started?

  • Does your back hurt when you are at work?

  • Are you able to bend down, turn or lift heavy items?

  • Are you able to exercise?

  • Does anything help lessen or worsen the pain?
