Expert Soft-Tissue Care by Certified Specialists
At Request Physical Therapy, we are proud to offer Active Release Techniques (ART), a premier, non-invasive treatment method designed to address soft-tissue and nerve issues effectively. Our practitioners are certified through the official ART program, ensuring that you receive the highest quality care tailored to your specific needs.

What is Active Release Techniques (ART)?
Active Release Techniques® is a hands-on, movement-based therapy that targets soft-tissue disorders, including muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Developed to quickly alleviate pain and restore function, ART is recognized as the gold standard in soft-tissue care.
How Does ART Work?
ART involves a precise diagnostic process where our certified providers palpate the affected areas to identify abnormal tissue textures, tensions, and movements. Once identified, specific protocols are applied to release adhesions and restrictions, promoting optimal function and relieving pain (activerelease.com).
Conditions Treated with ART
ART is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and Neck Pain: Addressing issues like sciatica and herniated discs.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries: Such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow.
- Sports Injuries: Including rotator cuff injuries and shin splints.
- Headaches and Migraines: Related to muscle tension and nerve entrapment.
