The Gold Standard of Soft Tissue Therapy
Certified Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) Provider in Montclair Village, Oakland
Maybe you've tried stretching. Maybe you've tried rest. But that tight spot in your shoulder, hip, or calf just won't let go. Active Release Technique, or A.R.T., is a hands on method built specifically for chronic tension like this, the kind that regular treatment tends to miss.
What Is Active Release Technique?
A.R.T. is a hands on soft tissue technique, often called the gold standard of soft tissue therapy, that targets tight, overworked muscle and connective tissue. Dr. Green is a certified A.R.T. provider with more than two decades of hands on experience using it to restore motion and ease pain at its source.
A.R.T. is especially effective for frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, runner's knee, a tight psoas, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow and carpal tunnel.
It can feel intense in the moment, especially over a particularly tight spot, but Dr. Green works within your comfort level and checks in with you throughout. Many patients combine A.R.T. with gentle chiropractic adjustments for the best results.
Available to patients throughout Montclair Village, Piedmont, and the greater Oakland area.
A.R.T. is one of our most common tools for shoulder pain, especially frozen shoulder. It's also central to how we treat runner's knee and plantar fasciitis in active patients.
