"Amazing results!"

I saw Dr Jeff Belgue yesterday. With one session working on my hip I went from limping badly yesterday to going to an exercise class this morning. Amazing results!

- David A.

"I actually can feel them working!"

Dr. Jeff Belgue has been an amazing health provider. Jeff is a different kind of chiropractor, one that uses gentle manipulation and movement along with performing exercises to help me slowly rehabilitate these areas. I would highly recommend Dr. Jeff to anyone with physical pain, especially that pain that keeps returning.

Active Release Therapy (ART®) is a type of hands-on treatment that helps reduce soft tissue and muscle tightness that causes pain and mobility issues. The goal is to break down scar tissue and adhesions in order to reduce pain, optimize movement and improve function in the body.

What are the benefits of Active Release Techniques®?

  • Relieve tight muscles: The ART® therapy sessions are an effective way to relieve tight muscles and trigger points. This helps stimulate the healing process, reduces pain, and allows you to get moving again.
  • Reduce Pain: ART® is an effective way to reduce muscle tension and allow more efficient movement which promotes healing, and reduces inflammation and pain.
  • Natural Treatment: The best thing about ART® therapy is that it is a natural treatment, which works like deep tissue massage and patients can feel the stress of joints and nerves relieved, without having to use any kind of medication.
  • Acute & Chronic Injuries: ART® can be beneficial for both acute and chronic conditions involving the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia.

During treatment, a trained chiropractor or physiotherapist will use specific positioning and movement of the affected area while applying tension with their hands in order to achieve a release in the muscle. .

It’s a bit like massage but with motion and stretching, except the chiropractor or physiotherapist will use small, targeted contact points rather than broad strokes. The technique can feel quite intense as it increases your nervous system’s tolerance for stretching the muscle. Many describe it as a “good pain.”

ART® can be an effective way to help reduce pain and promote the healing of your muscles, ligaments and tendons and nerves.
