After an acute or chronic injury, the body responds with a programmed mechanism to help restore normal function. These progressive stages are represented in four steps: inflammation, repair, remodeling and maturation.

The body responds to injury by increasing circulation to the area of trauma in order to control damage and remove the irritant. Fibrous tissue is laid down by fibroblasts early on in the cycle. The repair process is noted for having a high level of activity by fibroblasts which produce a fibrous scar that is structurally and functionally deficient.

During the remodeling and maturation phase, the body attempts to organize and orient the newly deposited fibers in order to produce healthy tissue. However it has been shown that mechanical loading techniques such as A.R.T. help produce an increased wound strength which is less likely to be re-injured.
