This technique is the bread and butter of Premier Performance Physical Therapy
and Sports Medicine and is what sets us apart from all physical therapist clinics in
the Boston area. We pride ourselves in this manual treatment because we’ve
dedicated our careers in our ability to use our hands.
Active Release Technique (A.R.T) is the gold standard in soft tissue mobilization. It
not only stretches the muscle, but it addresses the fascia. A.R.T can also target
structures such as ligaments and tendons. This in turn can relieve the pressure in
joints (osteoarthritis, poor biomechanics, lumbar spine, knee pain, etc.), which could
potentially have a patient avoid surgery.
