Hey Nora,

I have some info for you. I did email them but never got a response
so I decided to call them today, fortunately they have a toll free #
and were very helpful. They do have one practitioner in your area.
Dr. Arne Herbert phone # +31-77-3201919. I firmly believe ART
helped me get over ITBS. I hope it works for you. Good luck Tony
