Dr. Bromberg uses Active Release Technique, a patented movement-based system that targets damaged or restricted soft tissue. By applying tension while the patient moves through specific ranges of motion, adhesions break down, scar tissue releases, and normal function returns to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

Frozen shoulder, ART therapy
ART is a patented, hands-on soft tissue treatment that targets overused muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It combines precise tension with patient movement to break adhesions.
You may feel some discomfort as adhesions are released, but it shouldn't be unbearable. Most patients describe it as "good pain" that leads to immediate relief.
Anyone with soft tissue pain: athletes, office workers with repetitive strain, post-surgical patients, and people with chronic muscle tightness.
Many patients notice improvement after just one session. A typical course is 4-6 sessions depending on the condition.
