Active Release Technique (ART) in Calgary
Relieve Tension. Restore Mobility. Move with Freedom.
Break free from pain and restriction with our advanced Active Release Technique (ART) sessions at Why Knot Massage.
This hands-on, movement based therapy targets tight muscles, scar tissue, and overuse injuries helping you move better, recover faster, and feel stronger every day.
What Is Active Release Technique?
Hands on therapy for movement and muscle health.
Active Release Technique is a precise, manual treatment that identifies and releases adhesions (scar-like knots) that form between muscles, tendons, and fascia.
Your therapist uses a combination of tension and guided movement to break down these restrictions, improving flexibility and reducing pain.
Each session is tailored to your needs whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with repetitive strain (like typing or lifting), or simply want to move more freely.
