Active Release Therapy Provides the Solution Back Pain Sos Review During the course of their training and their subsequent clinical practice, Physiotherapists and Chiropractors both employ many different movement-based techniques that are designed to treat associated soft tissue injuries that involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves, all of which are revealed in the pain we associate with back pain and headaches.
One of these specific techniques is known as Active Release Technique, more commonly referred to as ART. Active release therapy is relatively new in the UK: however, in the USA, this active release technique has been practised for many years now.
Physiotherapists, on completion of their four-year training, need to be registered with their country's regulatory body such as the Health Professions Council before they are eligible to practice. Similarly, Chiropractors, once they have completed their four-year training are required to be registered with their own regulatory body such as the General Chiropractor Council before they are allowed to practice. This is then followed by a further post-graduate year of training, after which [in the UK] they can become registered with the British Chiropractic Association and the McTimoney Chiropractic Association: other countries offer similar post-graduate registration.
