Needless to say, what he did was quite painful and she ended up crying. She refuses to go back to him.
ART consists of the practitioner putting pressure on the sore spot while having the patient move their arm (or leg or...whatever) through a range of motion. As they move, the practitioner slides their thumb or hand along the muscle affected.

It hurts, no doubt. But it works...with the right practitioner. If your wife just hurt and felt no better, then I would stay away too.
