Active Release Technique

Are you struggling with chronic pain, recurring injuries, or limited mobility? At Luce Chiropractic & Sports Care in South Jordan, Dr. Jacob Luce provides specialized Active Release Technique (ART), a highly effective, hands-on soft-tissue treatment. As one of the few certified ART providers in the Salt Lake Valley, Dr. Luce specializes in resolving issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves quickly and permanently. Whether you are an elite collegiate athlete commuting from the University of Utah, a weekend warrior, or someone experiencing daily discomfort, this movement-based therapy can help you get back to a pain-free life. 

What is Active Release Technique (ART)?

Active Release Technique (ART)is a patented, movement-based soft-tissue medical technique that treats problems related to overused muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When muscles are overused, they develop small tears, dense scar tissue, and myofascial adhesions that restrict movement and cause chronic pain.

During an ART session at our South Jordan clinic, Dr. Luce uses his hands to pinpoint and evaluate the texture, tension, and tightness of soft tissues. The practitioner then applies precisely directed tension while you perform specific movements, allowing Dr. Luce to break up fibrous scar tissue and release trapped nerves. This restores normal biomechanical function, relieves pain, and improves your active range of motion.

Conditions We Treat with ART

ART is proven to be effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Headaches and Neck Pain
  • Back Pain and Sciatica
  • Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Syndrome
  • Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow

What Makes Our ART Service Different?

Dr. Jacob Luce is a certified ART provider and part of a select network of professionals who have received advanced training in this technique. His unique qualifications and extensive experience allow him to accurately diagnose and effectively treat the root cause of your pain.

Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments or standard spa massages that only provide temporary relief, clinical ART therapy at Luce Chiropractic & Sports Care offers a permanent solution by addressing the underlying scar tissue and nerve entrapment patterns.

What to Expect During Your ART Treatment

Every Active Release Technique session is a unique combination of examination and treatment. Dr. Luce will first discuss your symptoms and medical history. He will then use his hands to palpate the affected area, identifying and treating abnormal tissues. You will be actively involved in the process, performing specific movements to help release the tension.

Most patients report a noticeable improvement after just a few sessions. Your personalized treatment plan will be designed to get you back to your best as quickly as possible.
