 
What is Active Release® ?
Active Release Techniques®, or ART®, is a hands-on soft tissue treatment used to correct problems from various kinds of soft tissue injuries. ART® restores the normal function of your muscles and related structures, allowing full and free ranges of motion. ART® breaks down scar tissue that builds up within muscles and between muscles, and it helps to restore your nervous system's control of the muscles.
This state-of-the-art treatment system works on problems in the back, neck, arms, legs, hands, and feet.
Certified Active Release® Providers apply their advanced knowledge of anatomy, muscular mechanics, peripheral neurology, and motor patterns to achieve excellent results, even in cases where all else seems to have failed.
The History of Active Release®
ART® has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, a Colorado Springs chiropractor widely regarded as the top soft tissue expert in the country, if not the world.
Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems. He now teaches and certifies health care providers all over the world to use ART®.
How do soft-tissue injuries occur?
Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:
Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker. This causes reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a peripheral nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.
Who Can Benefit from ART® ?
ART® can help people from all walks of life. From pro athletes to weekend warriors to stay at home parents to entire work forces. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, if your injury is related to soft tissues, chances are that ART® will help you.
What is ART® Treatment with Dr. Solomon like?
After a careful history and exam, if ART® is the right choice for you, you'll be treated on your first visit. Dr. Solomon use his hands to evaluate your soft tissue, find the areas that feel tight and "bound up", and then use the Active Release® treatment protocols. This involves the hands-on application of tissue tension, combined with movement of the involved body part.
How long will it take?
Each patient is different. Each visit lasts about 20 minutes are required for correction of soft tissue problems. Factors that affect this range include severity of the problem, your willingness to participate in your treatment, and your overall health status.
