What is Active Release Technique?
A favorite amongst athletes and weekend warriors, active release technique is a sub-specialty of massage that is used for addressing tight and restricted muscles, improving range of motion, and may assist in scar tissue and fascial mobility.
While this technique is just one of many I utilize in my practice, it is a great tool for the right type of problem. Active Release Therapy can be used to address a variety of issues, including jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff dysfunction, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Active Release Therapy is particularly effective for conditions stemming from muscular imbalances, which often develop due to repetitive work or sports activities. By combining precise manual techniques with guided movement, Active Release Therapy works to break down adhesions, release trapped nerves, and improve soft tissue flexibility.
Each session begins with a thorough movement evaluation and range of motion testing to identify patterns of tension and restriction.
Whether you’re looking to relieve pain, improve mobility, or optimize performance, Active Release Therapy in Temecula, CA provides a powerful, results-driven solution.

Release Muscle Therapy Provides More Than Just Massage

We begin by thoroughly evaluating the factors contributing to your discomfort, aiming to uncover the most critical elements of your pain experience. This process includes assessing your movements to identify patterns that may trigger discomfort, pinpointing specific areas of tension or pain, and understanding how your soft tissues respond to pressure or stress.

This plan strategically targets muscle imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and underlying sources of pain to prepare your body for effective healing. It includes precise interventions, clear goals and practical steps to guide your progress.

Your personalized therapy program is designed for precision and includes:

Frequently Asked Questions About About Release Muscle Therapy
Active Release Therapy (ART) is a hands-on manual therapy technique that focuses on identifying and breaking down adhesions or scar tissue in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. It combines precise pressure with guided movement to restore mobility and reduce pain.
ART is highly effective for treating overuse injuries, chronic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and post-surgical adhesions. It’s also beneficial for managing repetitive strain injuries and improving athletic performance.
While some discomfort might occur during therapy, especially when releasing tight or restricted areas, the intensity is always adjusted to your comfort level. Unlike harsh treatments that can cause unnecessary pain, Release Muscle Therapy uses sustained, strategic pressure and gentle techniques to ensure effective results without overloading your body.
Your therapist will communicate with you throughout the session to make sure the pressure is appropriate and manageable. Many clients describe the process as deeply relieving, even when it involves a bit of discomfort.
During a session, the therapist uses targeted manual pressure on specific problem areas while guiding you through precise movements. This combination helps break down adhesions, improve tissue flexibility, and restore normal function to the affected areas.
Some areas may feel tender during treatment, especially if there is a lot of tension or scar tissue. However, the discomfort is typically manageable and leads to noticeable relief after the session.
