Alleviating Pain,
Restoring Function

At FixingPain Clinic, we believe in teamwork. Your recovery is a partnership between you and Shawn Brock, our experienced massage therapist and ART specialist.
With Active Release Technique (ART), we’ll work side by side to break free from the limitations of pain, restore your mobility, and help you move with ease again.
Together, we fix pain—not just treat it.

What is ART?

Active Release Techniques® (ART) is a leading non-invasive treatment for soft-tissue and nerve issues, including strains, sprains, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This hands-on, movement-based approach quickly alleviates pain and restores function, promoting faster recovery compared to traditional therapy methods.

By targeting muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, ART effectively addresses overuse injuries and other soft-tissue disorders.

How Does ART Work?

ART is a highly targeted manual therapy that works by:

Stretching and tensioning overworked or injured tissues.

Breaking down scar tissue and adhesions to restore movement.

Boosting blood flow and oxygenation to accelerate healing.

With Shawn guiding the process and your active involvement, we’ll create a pathway to relief that works uniquely for your body.
