What is Active Release Technique® (ART)?

Active Release Technique is a highly effective manual technique.

Basically, she takes your muscle through its full range of motion while applying a longitudinal tension to the muscle at the same time. This applies an aggressive stretch to the muscle and ensures the muscle is moving freely. Tracy applies this technique to individual muscles to ensure the muscles are moving and working independently of each other. Freeing up nerves, tendons and ligaments in the same way.

Many therapists believe in breaking up scar tissue or getting rid of scar tissue all together. Both of these beliefs are myths. What Active Release Technique can do is make sure the scar tissue is moving with the muscle instead of restricting the movement and binding the muscle back.

Active Release isn’t just a tool in her tool box …..it is the tool of choice. Tracy’s manual treatment has been exclusively Active Release Technique for the last 25 years. This makes Tracy one of the most experienced ART providers in the Ottawa area.

The most impressive thing about Active Release Technique is that it is very effective. If she is able to help you, she will help you quickly. Ideally she'll schedule several sessions very close together for maximum results and then send you on your way.

Tracy is a huge believer in keeping you moving. She is an athletes and understands what it means to stop training. She rarely will tell you to stop. Why? If she fixes you while you are not active, what happens when you get back to training? On the other hand, if she fixes you while you are active, she KNOWS she's got you sorted.
