Active Release Technique In Moncks Corner, SC

Find Lasting Relief with Active Release Technique in Moncks Corner

If you suffer from chronic pelvic pain or dysfunction, you know how debilitating it can be. Simple activities like sitting, walking, or exercising can become unbearable. Pelvic issues disrupt sleep, work, and relationships. Medications and other therapies often provide only temporary relief.

At Renewal Therapeutics in Moncks Corner, we offer a highly effective solution called Active Release Technique (ART). This innovative treatment targets the root causes of pelvic dysfunction to provide lasting relief.

Who Can Benefit from ART?

ART is suitable for both men and women struggling with:

• Chronic pelvic pain
• Painful intercourse
• Urinary incontinence or frequency
• Constipation/diarrhea
• Low back, hip or abdominal pain
• Difficulty with mobility

If you’re pregnant and experiencing pelvic girdle pain or dysfunction, ART can be tremendously helpful as well.

ART releases tight muscles and scar tissue to reduce pressure on nerves and improve circulation. This enhances healing while restoring alignment and optimal function.
Our patients often describe the results as “life-changing”.

How Integrated ART Treatment Works

Active Release Technique combines:

• Hands-on soft tissue manipulation
• Precise anatomical knowledge
• Controlled patient movement

Through these techniques, our therapists locate adhesions or “knots” throughout the body. Tissues heal with scar tissue formation after injuries and this builds up over years of strain and poor posture. ART sessions focus on releasing tensions with gentle pressure and motions. As tissues release, mobility improves while pain decreases. Soft tissue between joints, nerves, muscles, fascia and organs can all develop adhesions. ART restores sliding and gliding between these structures. Restoring alignment this way has a profound impact on the body holistically. Our patients regularly enjoy improved urological/colorectal function, reduced pain during sex, higher fertility and pregnancy success rates.

The Benefits of ART Pelvic Floor Therapy

ART offers unique advantages over traditional physical therapy alone:

• Long lasting relief – Treats root cause instead of just symptoms
  
• Non-invasive – No drugs or surgery
  
• Whole body – Assesses entire kinetic chain
  
• Custom treatment – Plans tailored to each patient

Patients see dramatic improvements, with many finding complete resolution of long-standing symptoms.

What to Expect During ART Pelvic Therapy

ART sessions involve hands-on soft tissue work to release fascial restrictions throughout the body. Our therapists are highly trained specialists using advanced techniques.

Assessment – We conduct a comprehensive postural and functional assessment, reviewing medical history and any past treatments. This helps locate problem areas and customize the therapy plan.

ART Treatment – Patients wear loose clothing as the therapist gently manipulates soft tissues using hands-on techniques along with facilitated stretching and strengthening exercises.

Home program – We provide rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle advice tailored to each patient to enhance results.

Most patients start to experience relief in just 3-4 visits over 2-4 weeks. Complete treatment plans vary from 8-12 weeks on average.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the average therapy session last?
Our initial assessment typically lasts 60-90 minutes. Follow-up ART sessions run approximately 45-60 minutes. Time may vary based on the involvement of different body regions.

What should I wear?
Please wear shorts or loose pants along with a t-shirt or tank top. Our therapists need to access areas from the low back through the pelvis/hips and down the legs. Gowns are available as needed for privacy.

Will therapy be painful? What if I can’t tolerate it?
Some tenderness or achiness is common during or after treatment as tissues release. Your comfort level is our top priority. Please communicate openly with your therapist about your pain tolerance so they can adjust pressure as needed.
