Active Release Therapy® is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement based technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, neck and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART®.
At Starr Health & Fitness, an ART® session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. Dr. Todd Starr uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements abnormal tissues are treated.
These treatment protocols — over 500 specific moves — are unique to ART®. They allow Dr. Starr to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient.
