Active Release Techniques (ART) is a highly effective, cutting-edge soft tissue treatment that addresses issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It’s a top choice in sports medicine, trusted by every MLB and NFL team, and widely used by U.S. Olympic athletes.

How Active Release Techniques Can Help You
At Keating Chiropractic, with locations in Junction City and Manhattan, KS, we utilize ART to treat a broad spectrum of conditions with a unique, precise approach. During an ART session, our doctors apply tension and pressure to the injured or irritated tissue while moving it through active and passive ranges of motion. This process is designed to:
- Relieve pain
- Improve motion
- Break up adhesions and scar tissue
