Active Release Technique (ART) & Nerve entrapment
For those of you who suffer from peripheral nerve entrapmens (tingling/or weakness traveling down the arm or legs), ART offers a specific technique that may be the answer. From either injuries asociated with repetative strain, or acute athletic injuries, adhesions may develop along the path where the nerve travels. Nerve Entrapment ART passes focuses on breaking up these adhesions, while flossing the nerve through the tunnel it travels. Entrapment can lie in many sites stemming from the neck, and all the way to the terminal location. For example, the nerve that causes Carpal Tunnel can have five possible entrapment sites. It takes a well trained eye to find these adhesions. Check out the ART page for more information.
