Active Release Technique (ART) in West Jordan, Utah
At Utah ChiroSport, we provide Active Release Technique (ART) to help patients in West Jordan, Utah resolve soft tissue pain, movement restrictions, and performance limitations. ART is a highly specific, hands on manual therapy approach designed to identify and treat problems in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
ART is especially effective for individuals dealing with chronic tightness, overuse injuries, or movement issues that have not fully resolved with traditional care.
What Is Active Release Technique?
Active Release Technique is a patented manual therapy system focused on the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries and dysfunction. ART targets scar tissue, adhesions, and myofascial restrictions that develop from repetitive motion, trauma, poor posture, or overuse.
During ART treatment, the provider applies precise tension and pressure to specific tissues while guiding the patient through controlled movements. This combination helps restore normal tissue texture, mobility, and function.
How ART Works
ART works by addressing the root cause of soft tissue dysfunction:
Breaks up scar tissue and adhesions
Reduces myofascial restrictions
Improves tissue glide and elasticity
Restores proper muscle activation and coordination
By improving how tissues move relative to one another, ART helps normalize biomechanics and reduce stress on joints and nerves.

ART offers a wide range of benefits for both rehabilitation and performance:
Improved range of motion and flexibility
Reduced pain and stiffness
Enhanced athletic performance
Faster recovery from injuries
