Repetitive motion, overtraining, constant tension, and pressure often result in inflammation and swelling of the soft tissue elements of the body (i.e. muscles, tendons, fascia, nerves, and ligaments). The body then responds by laying down scar tissue in an attempt to stabilize the area. Scar tissue can reduce range of motion, reduce circulation, inhibit nerve function, and result in increased production of scar tissue.

ART can be used to decrease the scar tissue formation, increase strength, increase blood flow, and increase range of motion by specific movements to each soft tissue structure of the area affected.

Patients can see results in just one treatment, however, most injuries are a result of injury over time, and need a few sessions to properly treat the area. Most patients are recommended with 3-5 treatments for acute injuries, and 5-8 treatments for chronic injuries.
