Movement Based Massage at Bomberg Chiropractic helps relieve pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility caused by overuse or injury. It focuses on breaking up scar tissue that forms around muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves so your body can move and function the way it should. Using an advanced soft-tissue method known as the Active Release Technique (ART), also referred to as movement based massage, Dr. Bomberg can gently and effectively treat a wide range of issues.
This approach offers effective relief for headaches, neck and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, tennis elbow, and other overuse injuries – all of which commonly involve scar tissue buildup.
Through a membership program and ongoing training, Dr. Tom Bomberg provides ART at an advanced level. To maintain his certification in this exclusive technique, he completes at least 16 hours of training every year, ensuring patients receive safe, up-to-date, and highly effective care.
Scar tissue can significantly affect your range of motion and everyday comfort. As it develops, tissues that once moved freely can become tight and restricted, muscle strength may decline, nerves can become trapped, and problems such as tendonitis, pain, tingling, or numbness can develop.
With movement based massage using ART, Dr. Bomberg delivers highly targeted treatments focused on the specific areas causing your symptoms. A simple yet thorough examination of the soft tissue allows him to identify issues that may be limiting your movement or contributing to pain and then address them directly.
A combination of precise manual contact and guided movement can provide lasting relief from pain caused by injury or overuse. Abnormal or damaged tissue often goes unnoticed for long periods and can eventually lead to more serious problems, which is why early, focused treatment is so valuable.
During a movement based massage session, Dr. Bomberg evaluates muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves for changes in texture, tightness, and mobility. When he finds an abnormal area, he applies carefully controlled tension while guiding the tissue through specific movements to break up adhesions, restore normal motion, and reduce pain.
Movement based massage with ART is a safe and effective way to address many issues related to scar tissue and overuse. A skilled provider can often detect and treat abnormal tissue early, helping prevent the problem from getting worse.
At Bomberg Chiropractic, this technique is frequently used (often alongside regular chiropractic adjustments) to help with:
