Whether you are an avid runner, sports enthusiast or sitting at a desk or in a car all day- overuse of muscles and sports injuries can occur.
Overuse and Sports Injuries:
What are some signs that you might be experiencing adhesion/scar tissue accumulation:
1. stiffness in your neck, elbow, hands, knees or back, sometimes associated with bursitis or tendonitis;
2. increased pain or throbbing when exercising;
3. reduced flexibility and limited range of motion;
4. loss of muscle strength;
5. inflamed joints or frequent joint pains;
6. signs of nerve damage, such as tingling, numbness, and weakness.
The core benefit of Active Release Technique (ART) is preventing and breaking up dense scar tissue, also called adhesions. Adhesions limit the normal range of motion of joints and muscles because they cause abnormal binding between muscle groups, are very tough and are inflexible compared to healthy tissue.
Plantar Fasciitis, runner pain
Relieving tight muscles and trigger points can make a big difference in reducing joint stress and improving your overall quality of life. That’s why you should consider active release technique (ART). It can help turn on muscles that have been turned off due to injury and eliminate muscular pain.
Some of the most common pain/injury relieved through ART treatments include lower back pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, tension headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder strains, including frozen shoulder, bursitis, tennis elbow, sciatic nerve pain/sciatica.
