Active Release Technique, also called Active Release Therapy, is the gold standard treatment in the identification of muscle, ligaments and joint adhesions and precise treatment delivery of these areas to reduce said restrictions.
Also known as ART, Active Release Technique has been around for more than 30 years and has continued to evolve and fine tune its methodologies to serve people.
Our Coquitlam certified Chiropractors have hundreds of hours of training for superior palpation skills, identification of muscle, nerve and joint adhesions and they know very well how to release muscles adhesion to result in superior tissue movement and glide.
An Active Release Technique Chiropractor will know exactly where adhesions in your muscles are located, can pinpoint them and through a series of movements, will assist in releasing such adhesions.

Suffering from Adhesion of Muscles?
Our ART Chiropractors and Muscle Adhesion Specialists are here to help!
What is Muscle Adhesion?
Muscle adhesions also known as muscle trigger points or muscle knots are areas of tissues where muscles are adhered against surrounding connective tissues and have lost their normal glide.
For example, imagine layers of skin and muscle that are supposed to glide freely for optimal movement. If these two layers are stuck against each other, they will restrict proper movement at that specific site and may even involve surrounding tissues, impacting their movements as well.
