Active Release Techniques (ART)

Similar to myofascial release, active release techniques (ART) involves a practitioner using his or her hands to apply pressure to the soft tissue in an effort to treat problems with muscles, fascia, nerves, tendons, and ligaments.
Full Description

Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM2)

The ATM2 is a therapeutic device that places the patient in a static position, allowing pain-free motion at specific joints to normalize movement impairments. The goal of this treatment is to give the patient immediate pain reduction, increased range of motion, and improved function.
