Active Release Techniques® • Portland

Chiropractor-led ART® treats soft tissue—not just joints—freeing adhesions for pain-free motion.

Active Release Techniques®

At Active Recovery Chiropractic, we believe in a holistic approach to wellness that combines cutting-edge therapies with personalized care. Our specialty lies in Active Release Techniques (ART), an innovative soft tissue treatment that provides rapid pain relief, enhanced mobility, and accelerated healing.

The ART Difference: Unlock Your Body's True Potential

Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments, ART is a unique movement-based massage technique that targets and treats problems within your muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. By precisely addressing these soft tissue dysfunctions, ART not only alleviates pain but also restores optimal function, flexibility, and performance.
