Frequently Asked Questions.

What does an Active Release Therapy treatment look like?

Your therapist will use hands-on techniques to evaluate tightness and movements around the affected area. The abnormal tissues are then treated with precise, directed tension with very specific movements.

Does it hurt?

Active Release Therapy is non-invasive and virtually painless, although a little discomfort may be felt during the treatment. This discomfort is a sign that the therapist has identified the area that needs release. The discomfort can only be felt within the first sessions, but it should go away after a few visits.

How does it differ from a massage?

Although Active Release Therapy appears somewhat similar to massage, the techniques used are very different.  While massage generally aims for relaxation, Active Release Therapy treatment protocols work to correct adhesions and scar tissues.

How many visits do I need?

Generally, the pain starts to go away in as little as 6 visits, but this depends on the severity of the problem. If the pain has been chronic and recurring, you likely need more treatments to successfully treat the root cause of the pain.
