Overview

This book introduces a non-invasive, soft-tissue treatment process called Active Release Techniques (ART), which locates and breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that cause pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, and physical dysfunctions associated with repetitive strain injuries. Each chapter addresses the root cause of the specific injury and explains treatments that should be avoided, and why alternative forms of therapy should be sought out before acquiescing to surgery.
