ART® (Active Release Technique) is a patented, evidence-informed soft-tissue treatment developed in the USA and used by professional sports teams worldwide. At Physio Clinic Suchánek it is delivered exclusively by Bc. Jakub Suchánek — the clinic's owner and sole certified ART® practitioner. The method combines precise manual contact on the affected tissue with an active patient movement — the combination creates a mechanical shear across scar tissue, adhesions, and nerve restrictions that passive techniques cannot replicate, restoring full tension-free function to the muscle, tendon, or nerve.

About this treatment

Active Release Technique (ART®) is a hands-on soft-tissue method that has become a standard of care for sports injuries and repetitive-strain conditions at elite level. Unlike passive massage, ART® requires the patient to actively move the treated limb or body segment while the therapist applies precise, directional manual contact on the target tissue — creating a therapeutic shear force that breaks down fibrous adhesions and restores normal gliding…

At Physio Clinic Suchánek, ART® is performed exclusively by Bc. Jakub Suchánek, who holds official ART® certification — a structured examination-based credential requiring both theoretical knowledge of anatomy and demonstrated hands-on competency assessed by an ART® examiner. Not all physiotherapists are ART® certified, which is why this service is available only with the clinic's founder.

The session begins with the same structured assessment used across the clinic: history, movement analysis, and palpation to localise the dysfunctional tissue. The therapist then identifies the specific adhesion pattern — a common example is the biceps brachii entrapping the musculocutaneous nerve after repetitive overhead loading, producing forearm numbness and grip weakness alongside shoulder pain.
