There are a number of methods that are used as treatment for soft tissue related injuries. From the creators point of view this active release technique Philadelphia entails a combination of techniques used as treatment for texture alterations and tissue tension. Among the injuries that can be treated through ART are muscle, tendon, ligament and nerve injuries. ART is also used as treatment for frascia, a particular type of connective tissue. There are other conditions that can be resolved using ART including headaches, sciatica, shin splints, tennis elbow, back pain and plantar fasciitis.

Unlike other aggressive methods and traditional massages used to remedy soft tissue problems, this technique is quite different. ART concentrates on the area that needs treatment where they are moved all through to their optimal motion range to try and restore their function. Muscle tension may be caused by adhesions or tissue scarring and after it weakens injury may occur. A good example of such an over use injury is carpal tunnel syndrome.

ART creator says surgery is not necessary for such injuries because these techniques can be applied on the injured tissue and completely and quickly remedy this problem thus restoring tissue movement, tension and texture. After a couple of minutes pain can be significantly reduced. Leahy says ART can be used to resolve problems that have persisted for years with just 3-6 visits.

A couple of minutes of treatment can increase motion range dramatically. Unlike other treatments, after ART there is no need to rest the treated area. As a matter of fact Leahy says one should return to doing their normal activities because this will help restore biomechanics that were changed by the problem and it also ensures proper muscle work.

Depending on the kind of injury, ART can be significantly painful, but the good thing is the treatment is quite brief. You will find out that if you go to a more skilled chiropractor the less painful the treatment will be. Practitioners have to be careful when it comes to dealing with areas that have plates or screws or those chronically inflamed.

If the individual giving the treatment has not been through Leahys course he or she is probably going to harm you more. Athlete progress mostly stagnate because of soft tissue injuries therefore by fixing the injury you will also be fixing the problem and only one ART treatment is needed to do this. For instance those who use weights, from normal people to bodybuilders, mostly develop adhesions.

Trainees have had some positive things to say about ART saying it helped remove their adhesions problem after going through just one treatment which eventually increased their curling poundages. In his long career as a chiropractor Leahy has used ART to resolve over ninety percent of problems his patients had. In just four years more than a hundred people who would have gone through with surgery have avoided it after Dr. Leahy treated them with his techniques.

However, since he could not treat the whole world, he decided to convert to teacher from practitioner in the 90s. Now he teaches health care providers around the globe his active release technique Philadelphia. Those that have tried ART say they have seen how it works and advice athletes or those in pain to try it.
