Anyone is welcome to copy
these comments and pass them around, unlike others Dr.
Jutkowitz stands 100% behind everything he says including that
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
consistently and predictably gives the results promised when
used as instructed.
Know the purpose of
Advanced Biostructural Correction™ is to get every doctor
able to correct every patient walking in the door. This means
consistent and predictable results, not guess work and a
hodgepodge of old things retaught.
Specific to Tedd Koren's claimed technique are comments about
Advanced Biostructural Correction™.
The amazing thing is that these comments are from doctors who
never bothered to get
ABC™
right and mix what Koren teaches with what
ABC™
says to do.
Further, it is astonishing
that Tedd claims his work is a derivative of Dr. Lowell Ward
and Spinal Column Stressology as it is the exact opposite of
what Dr. Ward said and exactly what Ward told Tedd would not
work when Tedd took the seminars in the 1980s. Ward used to
make fun of the things Tedd is teaching as ineffective and
demonstrably detrimental to long term improvement in almost
everyone as measured on standing and sitting sequential full
spine films.
This is not sour grapes. I
heard positive things about Koren's stuff and so paid for and
went to the August 2005 Koren seminar in NJ. There were 11
other
ABC™
docs there to see what I observed and confirm it for others.
Though I said nothing, other ABC™ docs had comments about how
ineffective it was compared to done
ABC™
properly: Dr. Mark Gentile's first observation was, "they need to take the
'specific' out of the name because there is nothing specific
about it". Please note that was an observation not a
criticism.
You must beware of methods
like Koren and Network that say the right things but do
are spotty with results and do not provide the results on any
sort of consistent and predictable basis and do not claim
consistency.
My favorite is their talk
about meningeal releases. Take a look at meningeal adhesions
from work done by Bill Ruch DC in the Atlas of Vertebral
Subluxtations (you can get it from Life West). There is no
meningeal release when you reposition the bones as Dr. Cohen
claims in a post on the KST forum from 19 Mar 2007. He wrote:
"When
adjusting cranial bones or other parts of the skeleton,
meninges release." This is idiotic. The meninges do not
release there can be less tension on them if the treatment
happened to change the pull but there can be more too. This is
a major misunderstanding by Tedd and his followers as well as
other technique people in Network, SOT and other places. Those
meninges are scarred together or have grown together. Thinking
you are going to release them with light pressure is a major
mistake that dooms your patient to have recurring patterns
elsewhere in the body that you might think are different but
are not -- just a different manifestation of the same
adhesions.
Peter Cohen, teaches
Koren but who never learned
ABC™
well enough to apply it well, criticizes
Advanced Biostructural Correction™.
The pitiful thing is that when Tedd was asked how he found
anteriors he said he did not. This is exactly the OPPOSITE of
anything Ward said and Ward and Breig specifically warned
about the problems having people more anterior caused. Then
Dr. Cohen was asked what he did, in front of the entire crowd he
specifically answered the question about what he does when he
finds anteriors and other things Tedd Koren does not cover, by
saying that he goes back to what he learned with
ABC™.
That is how he gets consistent posture changes.
It is now several
years later and Koren has been forced to change what he has
been teaching to more and more go toward what
ABC™
teaches.
As for what Tedd
teaches, it is in direct conflict with the people he claims to
base his work on. Lowell Ward DC told Tedd in the 1980s that
most of the things he was trying to say or do (same stuff he
teaches now) was not mechanically sound and might as well be
guess work. As for Breig, take some before and after pictures
after Koren works on people, they are as slumped or more and
that is directly the opposite of what Breig was advocating.
Somehow Tedd got more out of
what Tedd thought things should be like than anything Ward or
Breig said or wrote. This is not an opinion, you can read the
works yourself and wonder where Koren got any connection.
Further, you can ask Mark
Gentile, Greg Frick, Jeff West, Maria Angel and the other docs
in attendance
(ABC™
docs or not) if they got improvements or posture
changes. They will tell you all the posture changes were all
more slumped -- no exceptions or any people who straightened
--
and the improvements in symptoms people did report were
inconsistent and unpredictable. there was one doc there who
got some relief at one seminar and had been going to seminars
for just about a year since in an effort to duplicate the
relief. Will never happen the way KST teaches. Inconsistent
and unpredictable results.
Further, try to invoke the
so called guarantee and find out, as did Dr. Frick and others,
that Tedd will not give you back any money.
You can go find out for
yourself. But know that Dr. Jutkowitz actually goes and
investigates all the other techniques but not one of the other
docs has ever been to an
ABC™
seminar so they know not of what they speak. Like Pettibon and
Harrison people stop saying
ABC™
does not work very quickly when confronted with a practitioner
who actually uses it according to the directions and get the
results promised.
Sincerely (and that is not just a saluation),
Jesse Jutkowitz. |
