Active Release Technique in Cambridge, ON

Active Release Technique

Chronic muscle tightness, repetitive strain injuries, and soft tissue pain can limit movement and impact your lifestyle. At Cambridge Bounce Back Physiotherapy, we offer Active Release Technique (ART) in Cambridge, a highly effective hands-on therapy designed to treat soft tissue restrictions and restore proper movement.

ART is widely used by athletes, office workers, and individuals recovering from injuries who want faster and longer-lasting relief.

What Is Active Release Technique?

Active Release Technique is a manual therapy that targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. Scar tissue and adhesions can form due to overuse, trauma, or poor posture, leading to pain and restricted motion. ART works by:

• Applying precise manual pressure
• Moving the affected tissue through specific ranges of motion
• Breaking down adhesions and scar tissue
• Restoring blood flow and nerve mobility

Conditions Treated with ART

Our ART therapy in Cambridge is effective for many musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Neck and shoulder pain
• Back pain and sciatica
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sports and overuse injuries

ART is especially beneficial for individuals who have not found relief with traditional treatments alone.

What to Expect During ART Treatment

Your session begins with a detailed assessment to identify tight or restricted tissues. During treatment, your physiotherapist applies targeted pressure while guiding you through specific movements. While ART can feel intense at times, it is highly effective and produces noticeable results in fewer sessions.

Benefits of Active Release Technique

• Reduces pain and muscle tension
• Improves flexibility and range of motion
• Enhances athletic performance

• Addresses the root cause of pain
