Active Release Technique (ART)

If you’re experiencing chronic pain, stiffness, or limited mobility due to muscle injuries or soft tissue damage, Active Release Technique (ART) could be the solution you need for long-lasting relief.

Here at Greentree Medical Center, Dr. Anthony Carabasi provides this cutting-edge ART therapy to help you recover, move better, and live pain-free.

ART is a specialized, hands-on treatment designed to target soft tissue dysfunctions, such as scar tissue, adhesions, and muscle imbalances, that cause pain and hinder normal movement.

Whether you’re dealing with sports injuries, repetitive stress injuries, or post-surgical scar tissue, ART can help restore your body to its optimal function.

Why Choose Active Release Technique (ART)?

Our chiropractor in Cherry Hill prioritizes providing effective, non-invasive treatments that address the root causes of pain rather than masking symptoms.

ART works by actively releasing tight muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which leads to faster healing, increased range of motion, and reduced pain.

Our patients benefit from ART when they experience:

• Chronic muscle and joint pain due to overuse or injury
• Tendonitis, bursitis, and tendon dysfunction
• Sports-related injuries like strains, sprains, and muscle tightness
• Post-surgery recovery and scar tissue management
• Limited mobility and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, back, and legs

How Active Release Technique Works

ART is a precise and targeted chiropractic care treatment where Dr. Carabasi uses his hands to apply pressure to specific problem areas. These areas may include tight muscles, ligaments, tendons, or fascia that have become shortened or developed adhesions from injury or overuse.

Through a combination of deep tissue massage and active movement, ART aims to break up scar tissue and adhesions, restoring proper function to the affected muscles and tissues. This method also improves blood flow, accelerates healing, and reduces inflammation.

During your ART session, you’ll be asked to move specific muscles while pressure is applied to release the tension and knots. The technique targets the following:

• Muscles – to release tightness and restore flexibility
• Tendons and ligaments – to improve strength and reduce pain
• Fascia – to increase mobility and relieve stiffness

Benefits of Active Release Technique

ART provides immediate and long-lasting benefits for patients dealing with soft tissue injuries or chronic pain. Some of the key benefits include:

• Non-invasive and drug-free treatment for pain relief
• Improved muscle flexibility and joint mobility
• Faster recovery from sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries
• Effective treatment for tendonitis and related tendon disorders
• Restored normal muscle function and movement patterns

What to Expect During Your ART Treatment

Your first visit will begin with a detailed consultation where Dr. Carabasi will assess your medical history and physical condition. He will discuss your symptoms and perform a hands-on examination to identify areas of dysfunction and tension in the soft tissues.

During the treatment, you will be guided through specific movements while Dr. Carabasi applies pressure to the affected areas. Most treatments last between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the severity of your condition.

Patients often experience relief after just one session, though the number of treatments required depends on the severity and duration of the problem. For chronic conditions, a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions About ART

• Is ART painful?

  While ART may cause mild discomfort as the technique works to release adhesions and muscle tension, the goal is not to create intense pain. Pressure is applied at a level that is tolerable to the patient, and adjustments are made throughout the treatment to ensure comfort.

• How many sessions will I need?

  The number of ART sessions you will need depends on your condition. Some people experience relief after just a few treatments, while others may require more sessions to fully recover. Dr. Carabasi will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

• Can ART help with sports injuries?

  Yes, ART is highly effective for treating sports injuries. Whether you’re recovering from a muscle strain, ligament sprain, or repetitive motion injury, ART can help speed up recovery, reduce pain, and restore your performance levels.

• Can ART help with chronic pain?

  Absolutely. ART targets the root cause of chronic pain, such as soft tissue adhesions, scar tissue, and muscle imbalances. By addressing these issues, ART can provide lasting pain relief and improve your range of motion.
