Active Release Technique (ART)

active release is nothing but a way to make money, go to a physical therapist and get ASTYM, and u'll get better results and ur insurance will cover it.

and this is coming from a student in chiro college

Concerning the concerns of psolis052004 and JeffreysJAO - ART is an excellent choice but better is Graston Technique that uses uniquely designed stainless steel tools in the hands of either chiropractors or physical therapists trained in their use. The results are incredible!

Do you think this would work well for someone that has pec anserine bursa...bursa to the knee. I started getting this pain after I added sprints to my routine

Not to sound sceptical, but what is the difference between ART and TrP/NMT, aside from a mix with Myofascial release?

This Doc is right on. I have been teaching Yamuna Bodyrolling which is based in the same mindset and does a great job releasing muscle tension. This technique takes it to a very specific level. Great information.

Hey Doc, I've been hearing a lot about ART lately, my ITB has been flaring up around the knee and I was wondering if there was anyway I could free up some of the scar tissue on my own. I appreciate any info you can give me.
