Treatment that works while you move.
Active Release Technique does two things at once. Dr. Hochung Jeon holds precise, specific pressure on the restricted tissue while you actively take the limb through its range. That combination of contact and your own movement is what separates it from a static rub or a stretch you could do at home.
The target is adhesion: thickened, sticky tissue that builds up after an injury or after months of the same repeated movement. Adhesion stops muscles, tendons, and nerves from sliding past each other cleanly, and that shows up as tightness, catching, or a range of motion you simply cannot get back.
Find it, free it, then load it.
Finding the Restriction
Dr. Jeon works through the tissue by hand to locate exactly where it has lost its glide. Texture, tension, and the way the tissue moves under contact all tell him where the real problem sits.
Pressure Plus Your Movement
He holds contact on the restricted spot while you take the limb through its full range. The tissue is drawn under that contact, and the adhesion is worked free rather than stretched around.
Retest and Reload
Range is retested straight away so you can see what changed, then loaded with exercise so the tissue keeps the length it just gained instead of tightening back down.
What patients say.
"Best physical therapist I've ever been to and it's not even close. Dr. Jeon spends each session carefully assessing your pain points and what exactly is causing them."Redwan M. · Google Review
