About Clinic
Realizing that your body is the most intricate vehicle ever built, we here at The Body Mechanics take that business very seriously. Specializing in Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.), Athletic Therapy as well as post rehabilitation training services, our philosophy as Body Mechanics is simple; we believe that to heal pain we must determine the root of the injury and build a solid foundation using therapeutic tools based on movement. With over 20 years of experience as certified athletic therapists, The Body Mechanics will work with you from A-Z, determining the root of the injury and ensuring that the road to recovery is the right one, for you. About Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques ® is a revolutionary manual soft tissue treatment that aims to restore normal function between muscles and nerves. When an injury occurs, adhesions or scar tissue may form between adjacent tissues, such as muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments. The adhesions affect the smooth motion of one structure against the other. This results in abnormal biomechanics, causing compression or inhibition of these tissues. Used by a professional, this ‘massage like’ technique can break up scar tissue, release adhesions and restore proper functioning of the muscle fibers, leading to quicker healing and prompt return to activity.
