Active Release Technique Thornhill

What is Active Release Technique?

Dr. Jacob Ceccanese Chiropractic clinic, located in Thornhill, specializes in the use of active release therapy, also called active release technique (ART) to treat pain and inflammation that results from soft tissue injuries.

ART uses manipulation (such as massage or kneading) and movement to treat injuries in your body’s soft tissues. Dr. Jacob will provide an assessment which will lead to a custom treatment plan. There, treatment will identify, isolate, and target the affected area, breaking up scar tissue to promote blood flow along with faster and safer healing.

ART is a patented, state-of-the-art movement-based soft tissue technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. Conditions such as headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee injuries, and tennis elbow are just some of the conditions that active release therapy can help with.

Benefits of Active Release Technique

Active-release therapy can help patients to:

• Regain range of motion and flexibility
• Feel relief from pain
• Decrease stiffness
• Decrease lower back pain
• Improve chronic neck pain
• Manage conditions such as carpal tunnel, shin splints, sciatica, and more

What Conditions Can Active Release Therapy Help Treat?

ART treats scar tissue directly, which can result from a number of injuries such as ones related to overuse. This contributes to a loss of motion, strength, and perhaps numbness, tingling, or weakness.

ART can help relieve these conditions, many of which come from overuse:

• Lower back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Postural strain and tension
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Golfer’s elbow
• Shin splints
