Myofascial Release, ART & Neuromuscular Therapy in Austin

​

Targeted hands-on care integrated into a comprehensive treatment approach

​

If you’re searching for myofascial release or ART in Austin, it’s usually because something feels restricted, compressed, or mechanically stuck—not just sore.

​

At Art & Science Healing, myofascial release (MFR), Active Release Technique (ART), and neuromuscular therapy (NMT) are not offered as stand-alone services or add-ons. They are integrated tools, used as clinically appropriate within a single session that may also include gentle chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, microcurrent, or other hands-on approaches.

​

There is no extra charge for combining therapies. The focus is always on what your body needs to change—not on fitting you into a predefined service box.

 

What This Type of Work Is Used For

 

Integrated myofascial and neuromuscular work is commonly used when symptoms involve:

• Chronic neck, shoulder, or low back pain

• Headaches and tension-driven migraines

• Nerve irritation, tingling, or radiating pain

• Repetitive strain or overuse injuries

• Postural strain and movement compensation

• Sports or activity-related pain

• Scar tissue or post-surgical restriction

• Jaw, rib, hip, or pelvic pain patterns

 

Rather than treating muscles in isolation, care is guided by how fascial tension, joint mechanics, and nervous system signaling interact.

 

Myofascial Release (MFR)

 

Myofascial release addresses restrictions in the body’s connective tissue system that can:

• Limit movement

• Alter biomechanics

• Compress nerves or blood vessels

• Maintain chronic pain patterns

 

In sessions, MFR may be used locally or globally, depending on what is driving symptoms. This work is slow, specific, and neurologically informed—not massage for relaxation.

It is often combined with craniosacral therapy, gentle joint work, or microcurrent to support more durable change.

 

Active Release Technique (ART)

 

ART is a precise soft-tissue method used to address:

• Adhesions and fibrotic tissue

• Entrapped or irritated nerves

• Repetitive strain injuries

• Movement-related pain that returns quickly after other care

 

ART is used selectively, when tissue quality and movement patterns indicate it will be helpful. It is not applied as a protocol or routine technique, and it may be integrated with other manual or neurological approaches in the same session.

 

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)

 

Neuromuscular therapy focuses on how muscles, nerves, and the central nervous system coordinate movement and stability.

 

This approach is often used when pain is being maintained by:

• Protective muscle guarding

• Altered motor patterns

• Nervous system sensitization

 

NMT helps normalize input to the nervous system and improve functional movement, particularly when combined with craniosacral or gentle chiropractic care.

 

How Care Works Here 

 

Unlike clinics that require you to choose a modality when booking, care at Art & Science Healing is based on clinical need, not service menus.

 

Your integrative session may include:

• Myofascial release

• ART or neuromuscular techniques

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments

• Craniosacral therapy

• Microcurrent or laser support

 

All of this is included in your visit. No upgrades. No add-ons. No separate bookings.

 

Who This Approach Is Best For

 

This style of care tends to work best for people who:

• Have chronic or complex pain

• Feel “tight,” compressed, or mechanically restricted

• Haven’t had lasting results from massage or stretching alone

• Want thoughtful, hands-on care that adapts in real time
