The trained physical therapist, massage therapist or chiropractor physician are the most likely individuals trained in ART. They will use their hands to maneuver the body in the positions necessary to actively release the tissues being treated.

In example, working on the neck can be done supine or seated where the patients head and shoulders are maneuvered in opposing directions to stretch the tissues and release the adhesions.

The hip joint has numerous muscles surrounding it that can acquire adhesions and trigger points and ART works well to reduce the pain and spasms.

Many athletes utilize ART practitioners since the technique is effective and reliable. For example, runners with IT band issues, soccer players with hip pain or hamstring injuries, athletes with calf injuries, golfers with lower back pain and weightlifters with shoulder or rotator cuff injuries. ART works for all these injuries because releasing the muscles and fascia help restore normal function.

Following the treatment protocol through to achieve goals of increased ranges of motion, decreased pain and stiffness, and increased flexibility, life after sessions of ART looks and feels better.

Most patients have good outcomes and can resume living healthy active lifestyles.
