Kinect Health was one of the first clinics in London to use Active Release Techniques. We have a highly skilled team to assist you in treating any painful conditions or injuries you may have. We use Active Release with almost all out patients so you can be sure you’re in safe hands.

We’ve also found it that by using it in conjunction with K-Laser therapy  we’ve been able to get even better result! As far as we know, we are the only clinic in the UK to offer this unique combination treatment.

There’s an art to Active Release

  • Active Release Technique is highly refined soft tissue technique that can be very beneficial to anyone experiencing muscle or joint pain, and/or soft tissue injuries.
  • The technique specialises in locating and treating abnormalities in soft tissue structures (scar tissue / adhesions / densification / tension)
  • Scar tissue can form through Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD), or following trauma.
  • Active Release Therapy utilises a systematic approach of simultaneously finding, assessing and then releasing these problem areas of soft tissue.
  • The anatomical knowledge and skill required to apply ART® is very high, and a fully qualified certified practitioner will have learnt over 500 specific treatment protocols.

Can Active Release Techniques be used for injury prevention?

There’s no question Active Release Technique is a powerful tool for treating painful conditions. However, Active Release is equally beneficial when used as part of a preventative care or performance therapy program.
