 ART consists of a very specific soft-tissue chiropractic method to help heal injuries. It uses certain postures,depending on  your injury,to free up the limited range of motion and ‘get into’ the injured area,freeing up the constricted tissue,enabling it to heal.

 ART actually helps to break up scar tissue that is causing pain and limitation of range of motion in a person. It’s really quite fascinating,and effective! The below book will give you a plethora of additional information if this feels right to you,but you will need to look up a qualified practicioner to actually get the technique performed. I will say this,my mother was doing well with various home physical therapy techniques but her progress shot through the roof when she started going to see someone for ART.She was far into the process though,so my first recomendation is of course a comprehensive,qualified home program such as this.

 Just as a quick note,the below book is excellent information,but it is not a manual for home treatment.It’s simply a solid introduction to active release therapy. You would still need to find a local practicioner in order to get proper treatment.

 Also,many ART’s will work with your insurance company,at least to some degree,so it’s certainly worth asking about. I encourage you to pursue whatever option feels best to you.

 First off,anesthesia itself can be a risky proposition. Adding extra toxins to your body isn’t going to help it heal. Also,waking back up is never a garauntee!

Second of all,there have been studies done showing that there is no additional benefit from this practice beyond what fully concious,at home exercises can accomplish.

For starters,I would recomend the book The Ultimate Frozen Shoulder Therapy Guide.This is a very complete set of information to heal your frozen shoulder in the comfort of your own home.

 As complete of a book as that is,everyone is different.If you would need additional help,I highly recomend seeking out the help of a qualified Active Release Therapy(ART) practicioner. This modality has an amazing track record for both efficacy and safety for even the most serious of injuries,sports realted or otherwise. I strongly encourage you to check into this option if you feel the need for a more professional treatment,especially if your condition has been going on for quite some time. They normally accept insurance as well so don’t put off your healing due to fear of cost. Check it out today!
