What is ART Treatment?
Active Release Techniques® (ART®) Treatment is a non-invasive system that treats soft tissue and nerve dysfunction at the source. This hands-on treatment combines provider touch, pressure, and tension with patient movement to pinpoint and treat the origin of the affected area.
ART treatment is first-aid OSHA designated.
ART treatment is first and only soft-tissue treatment designated by name as OSHA First Aid so you never have to stress about on-site ART treatment creating a recordable.
This means your workers’ compensation claims and OSHA recordables will decrease along with the pain your employees experience on a day-to-day basis.
