WHAT IS ACTIVE RELEASE?
More Than Just A Stretch!
If you're experiencing discomfort or pain in your muscles, tendons, or ligaments, soft tissue therapy may be able to help alleviate some of your symptoms. At 417 Performance Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation in Springfield, MO, our team is well-versed in various soft tissue treatments, including Active Release Technique (ART), massage, and Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR).
One of the most popular techniques we use is Active Release Technique (ART). This involves the chiropractor applying precise pressure to the areas in need of treatment while the patient moves in specific ways to help break up adhesions in the soft tissues. This can be particularly effective for athletes.
The goal of Active Release Techniques is to alleviate musculoskeletal pain caused by adhesions or trigger points that interfere with proper muscle and joint motion. This can affect anyone, regardless of whether they're an athlete or not.
SOFT TISSUE THERAPY CAN HELP ALLEVIATE A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING:
- Headaches
- Back Pain
- Nerve Entrapments
- Shoulder Pain
- Tennis Elbow
- Hip Impingement

At 417 Performance Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation, we understand that each patient requires individualized care. We take the time to isolate the problem and target the specific soft tissue that's causing the issue. We also speak directly with our patients to gain insight into their pain so that we can cater our ART and overall program to their needs.
