Why Runners Love Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques, or A.R.T., is considered the gold standard in soft tissue injury management. Once acute or repetitive injury occurs, the body begins to lay down scar tissue in order to repair the damaged muscle fibers. This new tissue doesn't work quite as well as the old, and isn't as flexible or pliable.
Not only that, but the scarred or fibrotic areas tend to 'stick' to other areas directly in contact with it, creating adhesions in and around the damaged area. This results in a loss of glide between the soft tissues, reducing range of motion, and creating inadequate amounts of power or tension.
The body might then begin to compensate in order to get around this loss of function, developing other areas of repetitive motion injury.
A.R.T. is the perfect treatment for these conditions. A.R.T. treatments will result in:
- Better function
- Less pain
- More range of motion
- Less tension around joints
Runners that deal with chronic IT Band syndrome, achilles tendonitis, hamstring pulls, plantar fasciitis, and any other injury will require treatments in order to return to full function. The best news about A.R.T. is that most treatments are quick and will see significant results within 4-6 sessions.
