Active Release Techniques
Bend.com profiles Active Release Techniques, a therapy that offers non-surgical relief from carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis and other soft-tissue adhesions.
Developed by Colorado chiropractor Michael Leahy and patented in 1988, ART utilizes principles of friction and tension to actually "tear" or "shear" adhesions away from muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. Properly employed, its success rate is more than 90%, even with chronic problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendonitis.
