Comments:
“My forearm was relaxed within seconds. The tightness was released and my hand/wrist movement was fully restored.”
"I was treated by Tanya this morning. I came in feeling a great deal of discomfort-back pain and I was unable to breathe deeply. It felt like my ribs were dislocated. Tanya relieved the pain and tightness in my back and now I feel very clear-headed and my back feels great! Tanya also said I had a shorter leg, and it definitely feels great. I think I went from a 9 or 10 in pain (before the massage) to less than a 2!"

"When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is the MLT releases on my arms, forearms, and hands. The results are always amazing every time! Even with adapting the MLT, (I could really use a third hand!), my limbs go from heavy pieces of torqued petrified wood to soft, lithe dancers. All of this without force or added pain. With MLT, my limbs are pain-free and fully functional and my mind is more confident without having to worry about injuring myself with a difficult or heavy work schedule. Thanks to MLT, you are saving my career and improving my quality of life–one morning at a time! I truly appreciate you and MLT!"

"Arik has developed a unique, highly effective and gentle form of body work. He is caring and very skilled. I send many of my patients to him in order to bring their physical body into alignment. I have experienced Arik's modaltiy (and many others for comparison), and I can say without hesitation that Manual Ligament Therapy supports healing and movement in the physical body like no other approach."

"Mr. Arik Gohl, LMP, MMLT has worked with me and with patients I have referred to him. Results have been far above average. Many patients have noted 50%-75% relief of their main complaint by their first or second treatment. Through a ligament technique he has developed, he is getting regional and global changes. I can highly recommend him as a practitioner and the technique that he has developed for many musculoskeletal conditions."
John A. Mishko, DC BCAO
"Arik Gohl exhibits earnest intent in developing scientifically based modalities. It is very clear that he reads the scientific literature on a regular basis, including basic & applied research. He logically translates new basic and applied data and information to clinical implications which help understand, substantiate and/or validate existing therapeutic modalities, as well as design new modalities."

"I wanted to thank you for the information that you have provided to Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy. With your Manual Ligament Therapy technique combined with or without laser, our patients are experiencing phenomenal results. Prior to your technique, it would take several appointments to accomplish what it takes literally minutes to accomplish with MLT. I have had patients from young athletes who return to play much quicker, to elderly patients who love the gentle technique that gives them immediate results. Personally, I want to thank you for my Grandmother who is 90 years old. She has a budging disc in her low back and she was written off by traditional providers. In conjunction with spinal decompression therapy and Laser (PRT), MLT has allowed her to live with about 90 % less pain in just three short weeks."
"This is amazing when you consider that traditional therapy was attempted for over 6 months without any results."
"I fully support and expect to use your techniques for many years to come. With the ease of use, with the research to validate it, and the results that we are getting, this is one tool in my tool box that I am happy to have."
Sincerely,
David Adamson, ATC, NMT

“Felicia, age 50, was able to raise her arms over her head for the first time in over twenty years. She now has 80% more range of motion. She was so happy she was in tears.”
“Jim H, age 75, has increased his range of motion 80-90% He told Aaron MLT has made a huge difference in his life. He reports after 3 sessions he's sleeping much deeper.”
“John R, age 65, had hip pain at 8 out of 10. His MD recommended hip surgery but he's trying to avoid surgery. Aaron used MLT for 50 min and John's pain level was at 2. He reported that the Chiropractor and PT did not relieve his pain. He became a member.”

"The MLT for my levator scap & pecs decreased all pain in my traps and levator scap. This was done 7-16-09 and still no pain after 24 hours. I’ve been suffering from the pain in that area for 4 years."
- Mark Finkhouse, LMP, 7/17/09
"I give my clients a deep tissue massage, they like it and leave very happy and feeling great ‘cause the way I worked and techniques used, but I tried the MLT; my clients noticed and felt the different, faster results and walking out with no sore muscles after the session."
"Last week a client walked in complaining of pain in her lower back and very low ROM, she ranked the pain 8 out of 10, I used MLT for 20 min. and she walked out dancing, laughing and saying that it was amazing, the pain was totally gone."
"Another client had severe pain and her doctors recommended to get a massage to relieve tension in the muscle. And, she had a headache and a pain going up from her upper shoulder (Levator Scapulae) to the back of her ear. I used MLT, the headache was gone and pain reduced to almost 10%. She left very happy with the amazing results."
- Alba Arango, LMP, 08/09
"On 7-16-2009 I had my first experience with MLT. They only worked for a short time on my shoulders and forearms. I found that it seemed to free up my left shoulder and give it easier range of motion. I see that MLT could be very helpful for our clients. I hope I will be able to take the full class soon."
- Morgan on 7/16/09
"My experience with MLT: The pain in my right shoulder is almost completely gone but a little tender where pressure was applied to the ligament. My range of motion is greater than before. Stretches that were given to me worked wonderfully. I can also stretch much farther as with my range of motion! I feel these techniques will contribute much pain relief to our clients as well as for ourselves. WOW!"
- Dorothy on 7/17/09
"A client came in with pain in her low back. She was barely able to stand up and walk. Her right leg was an inch shorter than her left leg. I released the right QL and her right leg was 1/2 an inch longer than her left leg! Her breathing started out very short and shallow and after the QL release in went to long, deep breaths! I also released her Adductors, IT band and psoas. By the end of the massage, my client was laying flatter and straighter on the table. She could breathe deeper, walk straighter and actually sit AND stand without pain! "
"It’s nice to do MLT on clients, they don’t hurt afterwards and it’s less work on my body."
"I have felt amazing relief all over. Mainly my neck and shoulders and hips have become more flexible and I have less pain and more range of motion."
- Tanya Mcnabb, LMP MMLT 08/09
"After an MLT treatment, client’s report a feeling of spaciousness, that they have more space to move around/fascial room."
- Courtney Lindau, LMP
"I was able to jump back to 6 massages a day without any pain or tiredness. My clients like not having their muscles beat into submission but to actually relax and gain relief. Clients have said they have felt a difference between my deep tissue and the MLT massage."
