How is ART (http://www.activereleasetechnique.com/)related to OMM? I received this therapy for shin splints and it worked wonders for me. If traditional OMM has this type of impact for most patients, I'm guilty of grossly underestimating the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulation.
 
Very cool website! However, I have no idea how it relates to OMM. I'm not surprised it was developed by a DC though, I actually know Dr. Leahy. Very cool clinic they have there in the Springs...
 
This looks like a version of myofascial release.

Personally, I am always a little creeped out when someone trademarks a technique......
