Marketing Rhetoric

Customer Rating:
This book is nothing more than a lengthy brochure written by chiropractors to promote the sale of continuing education seminars to other chiropractors. As one of the prior reviewers stated, there is NO INSTRUCTION on how to provide or perform an "ART" technique. The bulk of the book is simply a review of common repetitive strain injuries and treatment options which are common physical therapy techniques.
"ART" itself does not appear to be anything specifically special other than a type of manual technique designed to release adhesions in soft tissue, of which there are many. All that is presented here is a treatment technique that has been labeled as something specific so that is could be legally protected as a specific type of treatment, then marketed and sold to other chiropractors. Indeed, the foreward is written NOT by a neutral third party but by the actual chiropractor who markets and sells the technique via seminars. The actual authors are people that have taken his course, become instructors and have basically written a text to support the marketing of the continuing education classes. There appears to be no actual scientific studies that prove "ART" techniques are any more successful than other manual techniques. The only supporting evidence provided in the book is done through case studies. Other than the promotion of "ART" and how is it "superior" to other treatment options, the remaining information in the book is again, actually common physical therapy treatment techniques (which is the books only redeeming quality). This book and others like it would like you to think that "ART" and other "patented" techniques are something new. Most, if not all of these type of treatments, are nothing more than modifications of existing tried and true techniques that have been renamed, repackaged and sold to newer generations of clinicians. Indeed, as some chiropractors are moving closer to mainstream medicine, they are incorporating techniques used commonly in physical medicine/physical therapy but most chiropractic schools/chiropractors would never admit this, so the end result is that existing techniques are given new names so that they can be marketed with a chiropractic twist from whomever is promoting it at the time.

A book for the patient

Customer Rating:
I found this book very useful in understanding Active Release. Because of it I found a solution for my Carpal Tunnel that actually worked. I nearly had to end my carrier. The first surgery did not work. This book lead me in the right direction. The exercises were also very helpful.

ART book is a fraud

Customer Rating:
I read this book and it gives no information about how do you do this technique. I have been to numerous frauds for my soft tissue problems and this book adds to my list. In fact it gives a bad start
to someone who may want to get ART done on them. Sometimes people want to make a quick buck by writing a book in the hopes that some sucker will fall for it!
