Active Release Technique
Dr. Rothman is a full body certified practitioner of Active Release Technique (ART).
What is Active Release Technique
ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
How can Active Release Technique help
Active Release Technique can help with the following symptoms:
Headaches
Back pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Shin splints
Shoulder pain
Sciatica
Plantar fasciitis
Knee problems
Tennis elbow
These are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
What to expect during Active Release treatment
Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.
These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow providers, such as Dr. Rothman, to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.
