ART® is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART®. These conditions are often a result of over-used muscles or "Cumulative Trauma."

Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change due to 3 significant factors:

                         •acute trauma (pulls, tears, collisions, etc)
                         •accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
                         •not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia).

Each of these causes can create tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area of your body. This scar tissue binds up and restricts tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become entrapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is entrapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.
