Discover Hands-On, Non-Invasive Healing With Active Release Technique in Calgary
Active release technique (ART) uncovers and addresses issues due to soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive procedure helps the healing process through the use of targeted pressure and movement.
When muscles, ligaments, and nerves are injured or starved for oxygen, the human body develops scar tissue in an attempt to stabilize it. The scar tissue can limit your mobility, decrease strength, cause pain, and result in a range of other issues.
Our Active Release Technique treatment in Calgary helps resolve these problems by breaking down the scar tissue.

Active Release Technique FAQs
DO I NEED A REFERRAL FOR ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE?
Doctor referrals are not required to access most of our treatments, however, some of the insurance plans may require a referral.
WILL THE TREATMENT HURT?
Most people do not experience pain. ART does involve the use of pressure, so you may feel some degree of discomfort. However, the sensation is very similar to what you might feel when undergoing massage therapy. You might feel a little bit uncomfortable, but in a pleasant or “good” way.
DOES ART PERMANENTLY REMOVE SCAR TISSUE?
Literature indicates that, once active release treatment breaks down the scar tissue, it will not return. A new injury could cause new scar tissue to form. However, the scar tissue from the original injury will not reform.

SUCCESSFUL STORIES
Realiza of Sunridge location is highly recommended for her massage skills. She takes time to understand client’s concern and offers an effective approach to address them.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jackie Fairbourn for over 8 years and I highly recommend her as an amazingly gifted healing facilitator. She continues to impress me with her openness to adding gentle healing approaches to her extensive chiropractic skill set. Lately I have particularly enjoyed the tension-relieving benefits resulting from receiving Body Code, Emotional Code and now, Network Care. I appreciate her calm, informed and intuitive healing support.

I was referred by a friend to Jency Henry Physiotherapist at Macleod trail Optimum for my back pain. She is amazing, she knows what she is doing. She was explaining during the assessment and treatment session about what are my issues and what needs to be treated or taken care. I was very satisfied about her approach in treating my pain. I came to understand about my body better like my weakness and tightness. I feel very light as if most of my weight has been off from my back after my session.

Just have to thank Dr. Nina!!! The chiropractic care I receive is outstanding and with such precision and creativity! I have an autoimmune condition called Scleroderma which causes extreme mis-alignment and muscle/joint pain. After an adjustment I feel amazing and helps me to cope with the symtoms so I don’t have to take pharmaceuticals that often. Also, I notice my low blood pressure is back to normal since I have been seeing Dr. Nina. I am so relieved I can start up my adjustments again. I have referred my nieces, my sister, and my friend and they all are of the same opinion!! Dr. Nina is my Chiropractor for life!!!

I highly recommend Nicole, I had my first massage with her today and it was very relaxing and took a lot of the stress out of my body from the last few months. I felt very comfortable with Nicole, she is easy going, respectful and professional. It was just the perfect combination of touch and light conversation at the right time. I will most definitely be going back to Nicole in the future.

Made the mistake of going to another provider based on them open on Saturday, what a mistake. Minimal relieve and care. I returned to Dr. Jamie Mulholland in Airdrie and what a difference. Hips line up, pain on standing gone, not hunched over due to lower and upper back pain, headaches relieve in the first visit back to Dr. Jamie. Won’t venture away again.
