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.
