Active Release Technique in Waterloo
Revolutionary Soft Tissue Treatment
Proud to offer Active Release Technique (ART), Laurelwood Chiropractic Wellness Centre employs this cutting-edge approach to address soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. This patented, hands-on therapy is designed to break down scar tissue, release nerve entrapments, and restore stronger function to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Our certified ART practitioners, Dr. Marco Sacchetti and Dr. Sheldon Gilchrist, have been utilizing this powerful technique since 2005 to help patients achieve faster, more effective relief.
How ART Works
Active Release Technique combines precise manual pressure with specific patient movements to target affected tissues. During an ART session, your practitioner will:
- Evaluate tissue texture, tightness, and mobility
- Apply targeted pressure to the affected area
- Guide you through specific movements to elongate the tissue
- Break down adhesions and scar tissue
- Promote increased blood flow and nerve function
This unique approach allows us to address a wide range of conditions with remarkable precision and effectiveness.
