Active Release Therapy in Cumming, GA
The Best Active Release Therapy Service in Cumming, GA
Active Release Therapy is one of the treatment modalities available here at APEX Physical Therapy. This is a specialized form of treatment that uses a patented soft tissue technique aimed at treating issues with your muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia (connective tissue), and nerves.
In ART Therapy, instead of us doing all the movement, you will be asked to actively problem areas of your body while our physical therapist maintains deep pressure on target areas. This gives our physical therapist a better hold/grasp of the condition of affected muscles and tissues underneath, which then helps us create better approaches for your treatment.
Active Release Therapy is known to produce benefits such as:
- Restored sensation in your fingers and toes
- Improved strength and power
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Pain and Inflammation relief
- Decreased Pain during activity

After his playing career, Hayden became a championship-level strength and conditioning coach. He served as the head strength and conditioning coach for Stetson’s women’s tennis and rowing teams, as well as an assistant coach for the football and baseball programs. He played a key role in the women’s tennis team’s 2022 ASUN Championship run, providing coaching and performance support throughout the season.

He also has a background in powerlifting and holds multiple state records. Outside the clinic, Hayden enjoys trail running, long-distance running, and playing pickleball. He believes that everyone is an athlete—just at different points on the spectrum—and deserves to be treated with the same level of care, performance mindset, and respect.
