ART is a hands on soft tissue treatment system used by a therapist to locate the area(s) of scar tissue, and then apply tension to the scar tissue while the involved structure is taken through a specific movement to lengthen it, helping the tissues return to their normal state.

When an injury occurs, the result is inflammation, scar tissue and adhesions that can affect muscle, fascia, tendon, ligament and nerve tissues. The result is a structure(s) which loses its elasticity and does not move the way it should, resulting in pain, tightness, and weakness. If a nerve is involved, you may even feel tingling and/or numbness as well. Examples of conditions treated with ART are:

• Back and Neck Pain
• Headache
• Jaw Pain
• Shoulder/Rotator Cuff Injuries
• Elbow Tendonitis/Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sciatica
• Hip Pain
• Knee Pain
• Plantar Fascitis
