How Active Release Techniques Help Restore Movement and Strength

In this episode of Your Health in Motion with Dr. Criscuolo, Dr. Anthony Criscuolo of Active Release TX explains what happens during Active Release Techniques, also known as ART. Using a simple rubber-band analogy, Dr. Criscuolo describes how restrictions within muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues may affect strength, flexibility, nerve mobility, and range of motion. He also explains how patients are evaluated and how ART is designed to address restricted tissue movement so the affected area can function more normally. Listen to learn why a muscle may initially test weak or restricted and how improving soft-tissue mobility may help restore movement and performance.
