I find as I grow as a therapist finding the techniques that will best help my clients is the direction I go. I enjoy myofascial release and use it frequently. I enjoy figuring out orthopedic dysfunction and figuring out the technique(s) that can help the client learn to relax, be in the moment and carry that experience with them into the world. If you connect strongly to a technique(s) that is great b/c it makes your clients experience that much better. There are so many techniques with all of these special names for marketing purposes that it becomes confusing. So, stick with your heart and if you resonate with a particular style, awesome.

Dear Jessica.
I'm sorry. I have missed your explanation on ART and post a question to Larry.
Thank you very much.
Honestly couldn't find no paper published on this techniques. I grew up in professional society (and I believe it also international rules) that before you are performing any study on human subject you must submit research protocol to IRB for an approval. Than you conducting study that including control group to test it against placebo as well in the end applying very specific medical statistic techniques to determine effectiveness of methodology as well if this safe. Then paper must be published, and protocol must be present in the way that any professionals all over the globe possible can study this methodology.no trademarks just recognitions of methodology developers. In case if in scientific experiment taking place equipment or specific medication , you first do patent and then applying to IRB. To me it sounds absolutely strange that one will make trademarks on methodology of treatment.possible that I am confusing copyrights on book or DVDs est. otherwise it is very foggy.
Best wishes.
Boris

According to the Foreward in the book "Release Your Pain" by Dr. Brian Abelson, DC and Kamali Abelson, BSE, "ART is a patented, state-of--the-art soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves." ART should only be performed by an ART-certified practitioner (one who has gone through several rather expensive sessions)

I had a student show me ART and when I went through school we called in pin and stretch too. as for trigger point release, I havent used this technique for a long time, I prefer to use the hypertonic tissue as an assessment tool in its own right - I mean its there to tell me there is excessive load going on somewhere so the last thing I want to do is lose it, 99% of the time they go when I balance up the lines of pull that are affecting the levers anyway.
As for Larry's question regarding trademarking of techniques, it is mostly impossible to own a technique when push comes to shove, only the copy right of the written material as far as I am aware. Unless it has loads of specific research as background e.g. Functional fascial taping by Ron Alexander or Rolfing by Ida.
give me low load exercise to re-initial the firing patterns of the muscles within Tom Myers anatomy trains anytime for no fuss, no pain, easy return of muscle tone, neural tension and vascular perfusion.
Cheers!

I use MFR in almost every session. My teacher is a Heller worker ( an off-shoot of Rolfing) and with my athlete clients I add AIS, PNF stretches and Soft Tissue Release ( pin and stretch, the father of ART) . I am looking very closly at combining some Rossiter techniques as well.Am constantly seeking to refine my touch with MFR. It's all good.

its interesting when we start talking about this technique or that technique...especially those that are being marketed by our peers. When you come right down to it...of course we use MFR...or I should say myofascial release (so as not to impinge on someone's trademark!) and I use ART but I don't call it ART cause that's a trademark and I can't do ART because I didn't cough up the dough to attend the "ground-breaking" technique...but I have actively been releasing muscles, etc since before the developers of ART were in kindergarten.

Boys and Girls...think about it. There are some basic stuff we all should do when treating our fellow man. palpating, trigger work, myofascial release, stretching and some basic understanding of soft tissue and how it works...and what it feels like when it doesn't.

Doesn't it make one feel good after a short rant!
