Active Release Therapy plays an extensive role in treating various Muscle & Ligament issues. Vital Physio provide Soft Tissue Release (Active Release Therapy) in Surrey, BC. Active Release Techniques® (ART) is an exceptionally compelling involved delicate tissue method. It utilizes exact contacts with explicit developments to release adhesions in muscles and other soft tissues.
Soft tissue release is a very efficient procedure for the physiotherapy treatment of soft tissue injuries both in chronic and sub-acute pain/injuries. Moreover, the soft tissue release is a blend of active-assisted stretching, therapeutic massage, and Myofascial release.
For performing the soft tissue release method, our physiotherapist applies exact pressure during a precise stretch executed in several movements. This results in the correction of muscle imbalance decreased pain, improved muscle performance, the muscle return back to the appropriate length, and quick reformation of scar tissues.

FAQs
Soft tissue release and active release therapy are hands-on techniques used to treat tight muscles, fascia, and connective tissues causing pain or restricted movement. These methods involve applying precise pressure combined with guided movement to break down adhesions. The goal is to restore flexibility, reduce discomfort, and improve functional mobility.
Soft tissue release is commonly used to treat muscle tightness, chronic pain, sports injuries, and repetitive strain conditions such as tendonitis. It is also effective for addressing postural imbalances and movement restrictions. Treatment is tailored based on a clinical assessment of your symptoms and functional limitations.
Active release therapy works by applying targeted pressure to affected tissues while the patient actively moves the muscle through its range. This combination helps break down scar tissue and improve tissue elasticity. As mobility improves, pain often decreases and normal movement patterns are restored.
Some mild discomfort may be experienced during treatment, especially when working on tight or sensitive areas. However, therapists adjust pressure and technique based on your tolerance to ensure safety and effectiveness. Any discomfort is usually temporary and followed by improved mobility and reduced tension.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition, how long symptoms have been present, and your body’s response to treatment. Some individuals notice improvement within a few visits, while others may require a structured treatment plan. Progress is regularly reassessed to optimize results.
Yes, soft tissue release can significantly improve flexibility by reducing muscle tightness and releasing restrictions in connective tissues. As tissue quality improves, joints can move more freely and efficiently. This leads to better overall mobility and reduced risk of injury during daily or athletic activities.
Soft tissue release is widely used by athletes to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and support faster recovery from training stress. It helps maintain optimal muscle function and reduces stiffness caused by repetitive movements. Treatment is customized to match the demands of specific sports and activity levels.
Yes, soft tissue release is often combined with physiotherapy, exercise programs, and other rehabilitation techniques for comprehensive care. While soft tissue work reduces tension, active exercises help build strength and stability. This integrated approach supports long-term recovery and functional improvement.
