Benefits of Active Release Therapy

Active Release Therapy(ART®) helps muscles to perform at their optimal state. Once a group of muscles have been treated, it can help improve power, strength, quickness, agility, and pain-free ranges of motion. When ART is combined with chiropractic treatments, it helps speed up the recovery of soft tissue injuries.
