Dr. Brian Rindal has been a certified ART provider since 2012 and has treated 100s of patients with this myofascial technique. There are over 500 protocols an ART provider learns to specifically treat each structure in the most efficient and effective manner.
ART treatment addresses myofascial adhesions, over-use muscular and tendon injuries, scar tissue due to ligament injuries and peripheral nerve entrapments. It is the treatment of choice for athletic and repetitive stress injuries.
This is an active treatment focused on targeted areas and specialized repair. That is why it is called Active Release Technique. While the muscle is taken to a shortened position, Dr. Brian applies pressure and tension to the scar tissue or myofascial adhesion with his hands. The tissue is then taken to its greater length, which essentially “tears” apart, or releases, the scar tissue which restores motion.
