Using a hands on approach, practitioners are able to locate, diagnose and treat a variety of soft tissue damage due to injuries, overuse and/or cumulative trauma. ART® is one of the most sought after soft tissue treatments in the world. ART® is neither physiotherapy nor massage. Those procedures relieve muscle and motor dysfunction, but do not necessarily address the underlying problem caused by scar tissue formation. In contrast, ART® protocol is designed to remove scar tissue and adhesions.
