ART featured on airplane to athletes, flight attendents and travelers

Thank you once again for truly inspirational seminar. In the airport in Cincinnati, I came across a young team of basketball players. As it turns out, it was the Boo Williams basketball team from right here in Tidewater Virginia. For many years they have been the top team in the nation. Several of the NBAšs current best players were among those to play on this team.

I went up to the coach and introduced myself and told him that I had just been studying under the chiropractor for the Toronto Raptors as well as trainers for many other professional sports teams and asked if I could be of any help to him.
He told me that he could really use a chiropractor and was wondering if we do anything for knees and the ligaments which surround them.

 To make a long story short when we got on the plane, I put my section on the knee in the computer, and went back to the seats where he and his players were. You should have seen it, I was parked in the middle of the aisle, and had a coach who was about 6-6 and 10 players ranging from 6-5 to 6-11 all leaning out of their seats to look at the soft tissue of the knee and described how we treat them. He got so excited about what I was telling him about Active Release, and asked if I could do anything with ankles... So I just put the disc of the ankle in, and before you know it, I had several flight attendant's and a couple of other travelers asking questions about Active Release. He wants me to talk to all the high school coaches in the area, and explain to them how to properly treat these types of injuries. It was a good thing!!

Sincerely, Don Bresnahan

PS: I am already applying the biomechanics that I learned at the seminar. My second patient on Monday, is doing a triathlon In Austria in July. She was so impressed, that she sent her friend in the same day. as it turns out, her friend did Lake Placid last year. She said we will have about 30 people from our area going up there this year. When I told her I was going to be working there, she said she wants all of them to come in to see me before hand. 

Every time I get back from the ARTseminar, things like this happen.
