Benefits of the Active Release Technique

At La Ruffa Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Jupiter, FL, one treatment option we provide is active release therapy (ART). This technique can treat injuries to the soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. In addition, this therapeutic technique can benefit those suffering from sports injuries or other conditions that cause pain and inflammation.

Improves Mobility

The active release technique is beneficial because it can help improve the body's range of motion and unrestricted movement. This improvement is achieved by breaking up scar tissue, which often forms around the muscles, tendons, and ligaments due to injury. By releasing this scar tissue, users may find relief from stiffness or restrictions that limit mobility.

Reduces Pain and Inflammation

The ART approach can also reduce pain and inflammation caused by injury or overuse. Breaking up the scar tissue allows for improved circulation to the affected area, which can help decrease soreness and stiffness. Improved mobility may also reduce stress on other parts of the body.

Improves Flexibility and Strength

Another benefit of using ART is that it can help improve flexibility and strength. This benefit is because scar tissue often restricts movement, decreasing muscle and flexibility. Users may find increased strength and more range of motion by releasing the scar tissue and allowing unrestricted movement.

Increases Performance

Finally, the active release technique has been known to increase athletic performance. Users can perform better in sports and other physical activities by improving mobility, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving flexibility and strength.
