Active Release Technique: A Proven Approach to Relieving Pain
Living with muscle tightness, chronic pain, or restricted mobility can make everyday activities a challenge. For many patients, traditional stretching or rest may not be enough to address the root cause of their discomfort. That’s where the Active Release Technique (ART) comes in. At the office of Dr. Brian J. Katz, Chiropractor in East Rockaway, NY, patients benefit from this evidence-based, hands-on therapy designed to break up soft tissue restrictions and restore optimal movement.
What Is Active Release Technique?
Active Release Technique is a specialized therapy that focuses on soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Over time, repetitive motion, overuse injuries, or trauma can lead to the development of scar tissue and adhesions. These restrictions can cause stiffness, nerve irritation, and pain.
ART works by combining precise movement with direct pressure from the practitioner’s hands. This process helps to break up adhesions, restore normal tissue texture, and promote improved blood flow and healing.
Conditions ART Can Treat
Dr. Katz uses Active Release Technique to address a wide variety of conditions, including:
- Sciatica and nerve entrapment
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder and rotator cuff pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Repetitive strain injuries from work or sports
By targeting the underlying soft tissue restrictions, ART often provides relief where other treatments may fall short.
Why Choose ART with Dr. Katz

Each session is customized to the patient’s specific condition and goals, whether that’s returning to sports, improving posture, or simply enjoying a pain-free lifestyle.
Patients often notice improvements in flexibility, range of motion, and pain reduction after just a few sessions. The non-invasive nature of ART makes it a safe, effective option for those seeking lasting results without reliance on medication.
