What Specific Shoulder Conditions Does ART Help?

1. ART can help scar tissue adhesions. When a shoulder problem is due SOLELY to adhesions and nothing else, then fixing it is a very simple thing. Removing the adhesions using Active Release Technique will completely and permanently resolve the problem. In such cases 100% return to activity, at 100% intensity with NO pain is the common result of treatment.

   However, "adhesion" is rarely the term used to diagnose a shoulder problem. Typically, a more specific diagnosis is given that describes the symptoms that the adhesion is creating.

2. ART helps a wide variety of other shoulder syndromes or conditions that involve or are caused by adhesion (myofascitis). This isn't because ART is a "snake-oil" remedy. Most shoulder injuries like impingement or tendonitis are caused by problems in the muscle, tendon, fascia, or capsule. All of the following diagnoses that we will be discussing involve adhesions.
