This is a form of “passive motion therapy,” which causes the stiff scar tissue attachments to become more elastic, resulting in better flexibility and range of motion.

When there is pressure on nerves, the muscles react by “splinting” or “guarding,” which means tensing up to protect the area.  This increases lactic acid production (a waste product left over after the muscle burns energy), and when the body reaches overload, painful trigger points are formed.

The Tru-Align reduces pressure on the nerves allowing the trigger point—those tender knots in the muscles that are made up of lactic acid—to be dissolved.
