Overview

Simple. Complex. Sublime. AMR is a revelation in the understanding and treatment of back and body pain. The source of pain so often attributed to joints and discs is actually caused by muscles, we just haven't been treating them correctly. Consider your muscles a patch of grass: You can go over it with a steam roller. Lean on it. Ice it. Heat it. Electrocute it. Cut it. Stretch it. Fertilize it. Pet it. Talk to it. Shine a white light on it. Can we all agree they have a different effect on the grass than if we simply took a leaf rake to it? Thus, many treatments claim to treat your muscles but they do not have the same effect. They may have the same intention, but they do not have the same effect, and this is why they don't work on tough cases. Every form of treatment works sometimes, but what do you do when nothing works? What do you do when surgery is thought to be the only remaining option? This is the basis of AMR - fixing when all else has failed. The tough cases, when cortisone, chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, deep muscle therapy, stretching, strengthening etc. had come up short. It's not magic, rather technique and hard work. Results are earned and in the process AMR delivers the very purpose of orthopedic-neurological exam, to hear the patient exclaim, That's it! That's my problem. I offer AMR not only for treatment, but for examination itself, and I invite my colleagues in the field of spine medicine to peer review my work. My friends, this is a watershed moment in spine medicine. AMR brings power to the people. The guide is intended for a wide audience, you need no prior experience or background in anatomy - only a desire to learn and do the work. In a word it is empowering. Principles to guide you in the various situations you will encounter, you have all the tools necessary to fix the tough cases that currently confound medical science. In case you are wondering, AMR has nothing in common with popular forms such as art / active release, myofascial release, rolfing, shiatsu, acupressure, deep tissue, muscle stripping, etc. (except that they are applied to the body) AMR is not taught in massage school, there is simply nothing like it, and it will blow your mind. AMR establishes historic principles / guidelines and all you have to do is feel for yourself. The more you've been around, the more you can appreciate. Like the game of golf, AMR is accessible despite it's complexity, and so tapped in that civilians with no prior experience will be amazed at the results they can achieve. If you are going to provide any soft tissue therapy at all, this is how you want to do it - it will amaze you. For more information see LAbackandbody.com
