The active release technique and the myofascial release technique are soft tissue movement-based massage techniques that treat problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with these techniques.
These conditions all have one thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscle.
