Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.
These treatment protocols – over 500 specific moves – are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.
Acupuncture is a form of therapy and of health maintenance first developed in the far and near east over 5,000 years ago. Specific points on the skin are stimulated in order to affect an energy balance in the body. These points are located on bioelectrical channels of energy called meridians. This energy circulates through all the organs and parts of the body through fourteen main channels. Twelve are bilateral, and two are central. There is a continuous circulation of energy from one channel to the other in a particular pattern which was well defined by the Chinese. Stimulation of one or a combination of key acupoints on the body may restore harmony to the affected area.
