In contrast to massage, active release technique (ART) uses both motions and coordination on behalf of the patient. These coordinated movements position the body for maximum effect, providing therapeutic benefits that would otherwise be unattainable through traditional massage or other manipulation techniques.
Charlotte chiropractor, Dr. Khlebopros, uses ART to treat back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis elbow, as they respond particularly well to this technique.
