How Is ART Different?
Active Release Techniques® (ART) is a soft tissue therapy that's gaining popularity for its ability to identify and treat the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. One of the key components of ART is the Diagnostic Algorithm, a step-by-step process that helps ART practitioners identify the specific structures causing soft tissue conditions.
The Diagnostic Algorithm begins with all available history and examination tools, such as orthopedic and neurologic tests, symptom patterns, SFMA, biomechanics, and (if necessary) lab, imaging, and other diagnostic tests. From there, the following steps are taken:
For example, shoulder impingement is a common condition that can cause pain and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. Using the ART Diagnostic Algorithm, an ART practitioner can identify the specific structures causing the impingement and develop a personalized treatment plan to address it.
