Break Through Restrictions. Restore Motion. Relieve Pain.
Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on, manual therapy technique designed to target soft tissue restrictions caused by overuse, injury, or repetitive stress. At RecoverRX KC, we use ART to help reduce muscle tension, restore mobility, and improve function. This therapy produces quick and effective results for patients.
ART combines precise pressure with guided movement by our experienced therapist to identify and treat adhesions in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. The result? Less pain, better mobility, and faster recovery. Unlike a traditional massage, ART focuses on nerve treatment, soft tissue treatment, and includes active movement from the patient.
How ART works: A team member will evaluate your problem areas. Then, deep pressure is applied while the patient adds movement to lengthen and shorten the tissue. Typical treatments last 15-30 minutes but depend on the severity. Patients report relief within a couple of treatments.
ART Can Help With:
Overuse injuries
Hip, knee, and shoulder pain
Neck or back pain
Plantar fasciitis
Shin splints
Sciatica and nerve entrapments
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Why Choose ART?
Improves flexibility, strength, and performance
Speeds recovery by addressing underlying soft tissue adhesions
Especially effective for athletes and active individuals

At RecoverRX KC, ART is often integrated with other therapies, like dry needling, corrective exercise, and movement retraining, to create a comprehensive, personalized plan that works with your body, not against it.
