Active Release for the Neck

Active Release is very effective for working on the neck (cervical spine). There are many layers of soft tissue that make up the neck.  These tissues can start in the upper back and reach up onto the skull.  ART can be used to slowly and gently tease out these damaged tissues and restore the proper pain free range of motion.

Many symptoms can be associated with damage or irritation of the cervical spine.  Tension or pulling is very common especially at the end range of motion.  Also headaches are very commonly associated with increase neck muscle tension.

Active release can locate and treat the specific tissues causing the symptoms and restore proper function.

If you have any questions about ART in general or a specific neck/upper back issue please call or email 613.235.5433.
