Target the Source of Muscle and Nerve Pain

Over time, repetitive movements, injuries, poor posture, and everyday stress can cause muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to develop adhesions that restrict movement and create pain. These restrictions can lead to reduced flexibility, weakness, nerve irritation, and compensation patterns that affect the entire body.

At Manual Physical Therapy & Concierge Services, Active Release Technique (ART) is used to locate and treat these soft tissue restrictions with precision. By combining targeted manual pressure with specific patient movement, we help break up adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and restore healthier movement patterns. Rather than simply reducing symptoms, our goal is to address the dysfunction that’s preventing your body from performing at its best.

Personalized Treatment for Lasting Results

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and soft tissue function. This allows us to identify where restrictions exist and how they may be contributing to your pain or loss of mobility.

Active Release Technique is often incorporated into our Fascial and Muscular Body Recalibration Method to restore balance throughout the body and improve overall function. Combined with personalized movement strategies and one-on-one care, treatment is designed to help you move more freely, recover more efficiently, and return to your daily activities with less pain and greater confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know this will actually work for me?
We only accept patients whose problems match what the Body Recalibration Method is designed to treat. If your body has become lopsided from years of compensation, this is exactly what we address. Most patients experience 50–75% improvement by the end of the program.
How long will it take to see results?
Most people notice improvement after every session. The full program is typically about 2½ months, depending on how long you’ve been in pain and how many areas are involved.
How long will the results last?
Results are long-lasting because your body has been recalibrated to function more normally and symmetrically. You’ll receive a short 10–15 minute morning routine to maintain your progress. Monthly maintenance is optional.
How long will each treatment session last?
Each session is 60 minutes, completely hands-on and one-on-one. We work directly on your body the entire time to move you toward your goals.
Do you take insurance?
We wish insurance covered this type of care, but our holistic approach treats the entire body at once and doesn’t fit insurance guidelines. Because of that, insurance does not cover our treatment, and we do not accept insurance.”
