What Is Active Release Therapy?

A physiotherapist locates constricted muscle and tissue known as a ‘trigger point’.
Manual pressure is applied to the injury, while the patient performs specific movements to break up and loosen scar tissue and adhesions.
This assists in calming pain and inflammation, as well as restoring normal joint and muscle mechanics.
