What are Active Release Techniques (ART)?
Active Release Techniques is the foundation of care at MC Sports Therapy. It is a hands-on soft tissue approach designed to identify and treat restrictions in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia that cause pain and limit movement. Unlike traditional massage, ART combines precise pressure with active movement to address the exact tissues contributing to discomfort. This allows treatment to focus on the root cause of pain, not just where symptoms show up. ART is effective for a wide range of issues, from everyday stiffness and overuse injuries to nerve-related pain and chronic movement restrictions.

At MC Sports Therapy, services are designed to address the root cause of pain, not just where it shows up. Each session uses hands-on soft tissue techniques to reduce restrictions, improve mobility, and help your body move more freely. All services below are built on Active Release Techniques and adapted based on your symptoms, movement patterns, and goals. If you are not sure which service is right for you, starting with an evaluation helps determine the most effective approach.
Soft Tissue Massage

Soft tissue massage focuses on muscles, tendons, and fascia that become tight, overworked, or restricted over time. Using targeted hands-on techniques, this service helps reduce pain, improve movement, and restore tissue function.
This approach goes beyond relaxation and is ideal for people dealing with persistent tightness, limited range of motion, or discomfort that keeps returning.
Sciatica Pain Relief Massage
Target the source of nerve-related painand discomfort
Sciatica pain often presents as shooting pain, burning sensations, or numbness that travels through the lower back, hips, or legs. This service focuses on relieving soft tissue restrictions that may be contributing to nerve compression.
By addressing the surrounding muscles and fascia, treatment helps reduce pressure on the nerve and improve overall movement and comfort.
Myofascial Massage
Release restrictions and restore pain-free movement
Myofascial massage focuses on the connective tissue that supports muscles and joints. Restrictions in this tissue can limit movement and contribute to chronic pain.
This service uses hands-on techniques to improve tissue mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore smoother, more efficient movement patterns. Active Release Techniques may be incorporated as an advanced form of myofascial work when appropriate.
