Foreword by

Dr. P. Michael Leahy

ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft-tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common – they often result from injury to over-used muscles.

Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely-directed tension with very specific patient movements.

These treatment protocols – over 500 of them - are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that affect each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach. Each course of therapy is individually designed to resolve the patient’s problems. Whether you are an office worker, a weekend warrior, or a world-class athlete, the preventative and restorative benefits of ART can help you perform at your best.

Active Release Techniques follows a simple concept, but it is not easy to execute the treatments, nor is it easy to describe how it works. Kamali Abelson and Dr. Brian Abelson manage to describe ART in a way that is easy to grasp - without missing any of the important facts. This is only possible because Brian has a deep understanding of soft-tissue injuries and the methods for treating these injuries. This understanding allows him to make the descriptions simple, clear, and understandable. This is refreshing in a world of overstated claims and hype.

This is the book to read for anyone (practitioners, patients, or friends) who wants to achieve an understanding of what causes the majority of soft-tissue injuries, and for anyone who wants to learn how these injuries can be resolved without endless treatment. If you have a soft-tissue problem, then read this book, and don’t be satisfied with anything but the real solution.

Soft-tissue injuries cost more than $200 billion per year in North America alone. With proper treatment, these costs can be reduced to less than one-third of that value. This is the mission of ART; and Dr. Brian Abelson – a certified ART instructor, and an advanced and experienced ART practitioner – is helping us to get there.

Well Done!
