Active Release Therapy In Brampton
Active Release Therapy (ART) is a non-invasive treatment for soft tissue restrictions that cause acute and chronic pain. Massage therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors and physicians are eligible to perform this technique on patients who need it. Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. So, any injury to these parts can cause movement problems and pain. ART aims to treat the injury and restore the tissue to its normal, healthy state.
At Physiotherapy First, we have experienced physiotherapists and chiropractors who are specially trained in this field. We help people of various ages recover from musculoskeletal disorders using the Active Release technique. Why don’t you get in touch with us and see if it is the right treatment for your condition?
How Does Active Release Therapy (ART) Work?
We do multiple movements every day. This daily wear and tear of muscles often causes scar tissue. Scar tissue also forms when there is a muscle or tissue injury. If not taken care of initially, these scar tissues keep on building up and eventually form an adhesion. Adhesions tend to bind the muscles from the middle, causing stiffness, pain and immobility in muscles.
Active Release Technique breaks down these adhesions mainly. As the adhesions fall apart, the pain subsides, and your nerves, muscles and connective tissues are free to function again. In other words, you can move freely again without any pain or stiffness.
What to Expect from the Physiotherapist?
Our physiotherapists first perform a full body examination to figure out the exact underlying cause of your pain. This helps us understand if ART is the right treatment for you. They impose subtle pressure with their hands on your affected area to identify the location of adhesions or scar tissue.
Once located, they isolate the scar tissue and break it up using a manual manipulation technique. This breaking up of scar tissue is what active-release therapy does. It facilitates the normal flow of blood throughout the injured area, thereby boosting faster recovery.
