drugs. You can begin feeling immediate relief from pain doing the safe easy
movements that are part of ABM.


CAN THE ABM HELP ME HAVE MORE VITALITY AND FLEXIBILITY?
             Yes, ABM can help immensely!  While getting older is something that happens to all
of us, we can do something about the limitations and loss of abilities that
have long been associated with aging. Its possible to gain greater vitality and
flexibility as we age. By following the simple principles of
the ABM
, you can create an environment where you flourish and continue
improving with time. Learn to move gracefully, letting go of unnecessary
muscular contractions. As you learn to move through life with less effort
you will discover greater strength and flexibility. 


I'M NOT ACTIVE, WILL ABM WORK FOR ME?
Absolutely yes. ABM does not require any pre-existing
level of fitness. Many people are inactive because movement is
painful and 
uncomfortable. 
When you do this program you will discover how to move free of pain and
with great ease. As a result you most likely will want to do more and be
more active, which will promote your health greatly.

 WHO DOES ABM WORK BEST FOR? 
Since the method addresses learning and the underlying principles of
harmonious, effective movement and action, in effect the program can be
useful for everyone. These programs have helped people overcome pain,
reverse the symptoms of aging, re-discover vitality, improve performance
and discover the joy and pleasure of movement.

Musicians 
playing improves, golfers improve their stroke, injured athletes go back to playing,
and the life of those choosing to partake in these programs improve. If you feel badly, it will make you feel good.
If you feel good it will make you feel 
great!
You can do these lessons with your spouse, your friends, your kids and
your parents and everyone will improve on many levels.
