Dr. Paul Michael Leahy is a chiropractor who developed Active Release Techniques. After graduating with honors from the United States Air Force Academy, he served as a fighter and test-pilot.[1] He then attended Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (http://www.scuhs.edu/Default.aspx), graduating summa-cum laude and valedictorian of the class of 1984.
In 1985, Dr. Leahy began developing Active Release Techniques and in 1986 became a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). In 1995, Dr. Leahy proposed a Model of Repetitive Motion, which expresses as a formula the insult to tissue created by repeated stresses, and the Cumulative Injury Cycle, which he used to explain how such cumulative trauma can result in such conditions as carpal tunnel syndrome.[2]
