Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) Treatment in Denver

Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) in Denver, CO, is the gold standard for quickly resolving soft-tissue injuries like muscle strains, tendonitis, and nerve entrapment. If you're struggling with chronic pain or mobility issues that limit your active Denver lifestyle, our certified A.R.T. practitioners at Peak Active Care can restore natural function, relieve pain, and get you back to peak performance—often in just a few visits.

When tissues—like muscles, tendons, and ligaments—are damaged due to overuse or acute injury, your body forms dense, sticky internal knots called adhesions (scar tissue). These adhesions limit your movement and can pinch nerves. A.R.T. is a specialized, hands-on treatment where your therapist combines precisely directed deep pressure with specific movements you perform. This action actively breaks up those tight knots to restore natural muscle length, relieve pain, and get you moving freely again.

Most common problems:
 

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  Why is A.R.T. so trusted? The technique is standard equipment in professional athletics. Certified A.R.T. providers are used by teams and athletes across virtually every major league (NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA), as well as elite endurance events like IRONMAN. We bring this same level of elite, performance-focused care right here to our Denver clinic.
