Active Release Techniques (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, sciatica, knee and elbow problems are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles

Based on tradional Chinese medicine, myofascial cupping aims to improve blood flow in congested areas and facilitate glide between the fascias. This is achieved by using suction to decompress the tissue which also creates a neuro response. Cupping can be used statically, dynamically and/or in combination with active or passive movement. Different types of cups may be use depending on the desired application.

IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) is often commonly referred to as Guasha, which is a technique used in traditional Chinese medicine. IASTM however aims purely at breaking adhesions in the fascia using tools. There are many tools and techniques for this such as Graston, M2T-Blade, Fat tool, just to name a few.
