Problem adhesions or Scar tissue
Problems arise when these tissues are injured either suddenly like a tear or over time from overuse or improper use. What happens is that adhesions (scar tissue) form
within or between structures. This leads to decreased function, decreased range of motion and strength. It 's likely that you do not even notice the problem in the
primary area of dysfunction. What commonly occurs is that some other structure suffers and causes you pain. "Where it hurts it ain't" describes the subconscious process of pain referral.

Scar Tissue Adhesions
There is a very specific sequence of events that the body goes through during the healing process. The result of this process is a scar. It maybe microscopic, cell to cell, but it is there, and as a result, the tissue is weaker, less functional than the original. Your training and performance suffers and you are more susceptible to future injuries. ART restores soft tissue function.
