Do you lead an active lifestyle but struggle with pain?

There is a way to become pain free!

At Active Therapeutics we focus on the holistic approach to pain resolution. By using our skills in Active Release Techniques, Ashiatsu, Massage, Stretching and Rehabilitation Exercises we help your body to recover from pain fast.

Whether you're an avid runner, professional athlete or just like to take a walk everyday, you shouldn't have to compromise your active lifestyle because of pain. Soft-tissue injuries are one of the most common culprits for pain and have traditionally been treated with drugs, heat, cold, and rest. These therapies usually provide minimal relief and only a temporary solution.

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a breakthrough in the treatment of injury and provides permanent pain relief. Even better, ART can help you avoid surgery. When soft tissue is injured, it gets stuck—or adheres—causing inflammation, scar tissue, impeded movement and even entrapped nerves. Using a series of hands-on protocols, ART identifies and removes these muscular adhesions. Adhesions that go untreated often cause a chain reaction of new adhesion cycles in connected tissue structures or musculoskeletal systems that are overcompensating in response to the pain. These chronic stages of soft tissue damage are why so many of us are in pain—even if we lead a healthy, active lifestyle.

ART brings permanent resolution to many injuries previously considered untreatable, sometimes in just a few sessions. ART has a 90% success rate with such chronic problems as carpal tunnel, rotator cuff injuries, knee injuries, back pain, sciatica, headaches and many more. Over 500 specific treatment protocols are used to release the adhesions, separate the bound tissue and restore function. Through this process, the core problems that cause sharp or dull pain with inflammation, stiffness, weakness, numbness, and other physical dysfunctions are eliminated—and the pain goes away.

Ashiatsu Massage is a barefoot massage technique uses deep compression effleurage strokes that glide over the body. It combines flowing centrifugal and centripetal push, pull, pumping movements which can create a structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.

If you’re living in pain, we provide solutions for many muscle and nerve pain issues. Active Therapeutics is recognized as the most experienced and comprehensive soft-tissue practitioners in Bend, Oregon. For over 6 years, we have given thousands of people relief from pain. We still treat with massage, but now we offer a more comprehensive approach with Active Release Techniques Soft Tissue Management Systems and Ashiatsu Massage that can permanently eliminate your pain.
