Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs)

Cumulative trauma disorders, also called repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), affect athletes, office workers, musicians, and those in active or sedentary jobs. Common conditions like rotator cuff syndrome, tennis elbow, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, and chronic back pain are all part of the cumulative trauma disorder family.

How Do Injuries Like This Occur?

Soft tissue pain is often caused by adhesions—sticky scar tissue bands that form as your body protects itself after an injury. Initially a protective mechanism, adhesions can restrict motion, cause stiffness, discomfort, numbness, or tingling if they affect nerves or vessels. If left untreated, adhesions can worsen pain and lead to further injury, making proper care essential for healing.

Solution

There’s good news: Active Release Technique (ART) can break up those pesky adhesions and help your soft tissue heal properly. ART is a game-changing soft tissue therapy that taps into your body’s natural movement to heal and restore. Whether recent or chronic, ART is the solution for addressing short-term and long-standing CTDs in muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Imagine feeling up to 50% better after just a few treatments—yep, it really works! ART “actively releases” tension and tightness, giving you the relief you deserve. No more stiffness, no more pain—just smooth, natural movement!
