Active Release Techniques® (ART®)
at Resilient Body in Santa Rosa

At Resilient Body in Santa Rosa, we specialize in Active Release Techniques® (ART®), a highly effective, non-invasive treatment system designed to identify and resolve soft-tissue disorders quickly and effectively. If you’re experiencing pain, restricted movement, or nerve entrapment, ART® could be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What is Active Release Techniques® (ART®)?

ART® is a specialized manual therapy technique that focuses on breaking up adhesions and scar tissue in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. These adhesions often develop due to overuse, repetitive motion, trauma, or poor posture, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

By targeting and releasing these adhesions, ART® helps restore normal function, increase mobility, and reduce pain. Our skilled practitioners use precise, hands-on techniques to address these problem areas and provide relief where other treatments may have failed.

Conditions That ART® Can Help Treat

ART® is an excellent treatment option for a variety of soft tissue and nerve-related conditions, including:

  • Chronic Pain & Stiffness – Address lingering discomfort caused by tight muscles and connective tissue restrictions.

  • Repetitive Strain Injuries – Relieve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and shin splints.

  • Neck & Back Pain – Reduce tension and discomfort caused by postural strain, disc issues, or muscle imbalances.

  • Sciatica & Nerve Entrapments – Alleviate nerve compression that leads to numbness, tingling, or shooting pain.

  • Sports Injuries – Speed up recovery from strains, sprains, and overuse injuries to get back to peak performance.

  • Headaches & Migraines – Address tension and muscular issues contributing to chronic headaches.

  • Plantar Fasciitis – Reduce foot pain by improving mobility and releasing adhesions in the fascia.

How ART® Works

During an ART® session at Resilient Body, our practitioners will:

  1. Assess your movement and identify areas of restriction or dysfunction.

  2. Apply precise manual pressure to specific soft tissues while guiding you through movement patterns.

  3. Break up adhesions and improve tissue function, reducing pain and restoring normal mobility.

  4. Provide corrective strategies to help maintain results and prevent recurrence.

    Many patients experience immediate improvements after just one session, while chronic conditions may require multiple treatments for optimal results.

FAQs

  • Manual therapy is a specialized form of skilled physical treatment that involves hands-on techniques to assess, treat, and manage various musculoskeletal conditions. The primary goal of manual therapy is to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. In some cases we combine this passive treatment with a more active one for best results.

  • There are numerous ways that a personal trainer can help you improve your overall health and fitness; and reach specific wellness goals. We offer expertise and knowledge in functional movement (yes- we know most movement can be seen as functional in some way, but we like to take you beyond what you thought was possible). We use exercise science, anatomy, and nutrition, and behavior change psychology techniques all of which can be valuable for designing effective and balanced wellness plans.

  • Holistic health coaching is a comprehensive approach to wellness that focuses on the overall well-being of an individual (YOU! and what makes you unique), considering physical, mental, emotional, spiritual aspects, and more. The aim is to promote balance and harmony in all areas of life to achieve optimal health and vitality. We like to include many areas beyond just movement and nutrition since there is more to optimal health than just those two.

  • We are personal trainers who also coach small groups.
