Active Release Technique (ART®)

Active Release Technique is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue movement system that has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. It’s the proven method for the breakdown of scar tissue and has become the gold standard in soft tissue treatment. Used by millions of professional athletes, celebrities, weekend warriors, and desk jockeys to stay pain-free.
