Active Release Technique (ART) is a specialized, hands-on soft tissue therapy used to treat muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, and fascia injuries. It combines precise manual pressure with specific patient movement to break up scar tissue, reduce adhesions, and restore normal tissue function.
At NextGen Sport & Spine, Dr. Morgan uses ART to help athletes and active individuals recover faster, move better, and perform at a higher level.
When muscles and connective tissues are overused or injured, they can develop:
Scar tissue
Adhesions
Tight, restricted movement patterns
Nerve entrapment
During an ART session:
Dr. Morgan evaluates the affected area.
The shortened or restricted tissue is placed under tension.
You actively move the body part through a specific range of motion.
Targeted pressure helps release restrictions and restore mobility.
This process improves circulation, reduces pain, and promotes proper healing.
Active Release Technique is commonly used to treat:
Tendonitis
Muscle strains and pulls
Plantar fasciitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Shoulder impingement
Sciatica
IT band syndrome
Chronic neck and back pain
Sports-related injuries
Repetitive strain injuries
ART is especially effective for athletes, runners, weightlifters, and individuals with physically demanding jobs.
Patients receiving ART at NextGen Sport & Spine often experience:
Reduced pain and inflammation
Improved range of motion
Faster injury recovery
Enhanced athletic performance
Better muscle activation
Long-term correction of movement dysfunction
Because ART addresses the underlying soft tissue restriction—not just symptoms—it provides lasting results.
Yes. ART is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment performed by trained providers. It is safe for most patients and customized to your comfort level and condition.
