In fact when someone gets injury to the body, adhesions or scars happen to develop in the wounded tissues. These adhesions or scars then hinder the body movements or the body doesn't feel comfortable while working. ART provides special massaging technique in which the provider evaluates the feel, tone and mobility of the tissues with his talented hands. He stabilises his hands over the tissues and then applies pressure to break up the adhesions developed in the tissues, often applying stretching motions in the direction of the lymphatic flow in the body. At early stages of treatment, the chiropractic care supplier works by himself. Later on, the patient is also asked to take part actively. In this way, the adhesive tissues relax and work with more potency.

 

Vancouver chiropractic specialists can utilize A.R.T. as an element of an augmented treatment programme mixed with specific exercises to alleviate the affected areas. This is a very important part of an overall wellness program that many advanced chiropractic clinics provide, often integrating massage therapy and physiotherapy where needed as well.
