👐 The Hands That Care Need Care Too

A few weeks ago we asked Ann, founder of the Balance Arts Center in New York and an Alexander Technique teacher for almost 40 years, if she would share her experience using the ABR Fascia Gel.

She didn't write to me about pain.

She didn't write about a sports injury.

She told us about the beginning of a Dupuytren's contracture in the palm of her right hand. It was still in a very early stage, and she simply wanted to see if she could improve the quality of the tissues before it progressed.

After applying a tiny amount of ABR Fascia Gel several times a day, this is what she wrote:

"So far it is really helping a lot and the tight tissue is starting to lengthen out. It stays lengthened even if I don't use the gel every day. When I do use a tiny drop several times a day it really softens the tissue."

We are not saying that the ABR Fascia Gel treats Dupuytren's contracture.

We are simply sharing the experience of someone who has spent almost four decades working with people's movement and feeling tissue quality through her hands.

And it reminded us of something...

Parents and caregivers spend years lifting, positioning, feeding, supporting and helping others.

But very few of us remember to take care of our own hands.

Maybe they deserve a little ABR too.

Illustrative image. This is not Ann's hand.

🇭🇺 Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming back Victor and his family during our ABR assessment and training sessions in Hungary.

Victor's family is one of those families we've known for many years. Originally from Mexico and now living in Norway, they have travelled across Europe to continue their ABR journey. Whether the sessions are held in Austria, Spain or Hungary, they always find a way to be there.

Every year brings new challenges, new questions and new goals. That's why these assessment weeks are so important.

After a comprehensive assessment, Leonid reviews everything that has changed over the past year, answers the family's questions, refines the strategy and spends the day teaching every detail of the updated program.

This year, Victor's family is taking home the latest additions to the ABR approach, including the new Lollipop techniques, the updated heads set, improved integration of the ABR Fascia Gel, and new ways of getting even more from the vibro tools.

ABR has never stood still. Every year we continue learning, refining our understanding, and finding better ways to help families support their children at home.

Thank you, Victor and Telma, for your trust, your commitment and for being part of the ABR journey for so many years.

It was wonderful to see you again, and we wish you another year of steady progress.

🇭🇺 ABR is back in Hungary!

Today we begin another two weeks of ABR assessments and training sessions with Leonid Blyum and our Hungarian coordinator, Brigitta.

These sessions are always something we look forward to. They are an opportunity to meet families again after another year of dedicated work at home, celebrate their progress, and prepare the next stage of each child's ABR journey.

One of the first families this week is Team Zétény, who started ABR in December 2023.

Over the past two and a half years, they have made steady progress. Better posture, improved stability, better head control, hand function and cognitive development are all part of their story. But perhaps even more important is what these changes have meant for everyday life.

Today, Zétény is more comfortable, easier to position, and his family tells us they are able to enjoy travelling, exploring new places and spending more quality time together. ABR has simply become part of their routine.

One answer from this year's annual questionnaire especially stood out to us.

When asked about their biggest concerns as parents, they wrote:

"We are not worried right now. We trust in positive things, and we keep moving forward slowly."

There may be no better way to describe what long-term ABR is about.

Thank you, Team Zétény, for your trust and commitment.

And to all our Hungarian families — welcome! We wish everyone a wonderful two weeks of learning, sharing experiences and taking the next step forward together.

🇭🇺 Tomorrow it begins...

Our next two weeks of ABR Assessment & Training Sessions in Budapest are about to start.

Leonid Blyum, together with Brigitta, our Hungarian coordinator, will be welcoming families from Hungary and several other European countries.

This round of sessions brings some of the biggest practical improvements we've introduced in years. After being tested and refined during our Spain sessions earlier this year, they are now becoming part of the standard ABR approach:

✅ New Lollipop techniques
✅ New ABR tool heads
✅ Improved use of CatWraps and ABR Stations
✅ Better integration of the ABR Fascia Gel with vibro techniques
✅ Months of experience with the Hyperspeed "Microphone" Massager, allowing families to achieve even better results at home.

Every assessment helps us refine the strategy. Every training gives families new skills and confidence. Every year we continue learning how to make ABR simpler, more effective, and easier to integrate into everyday life.

Budapest has become one of the main European hubs for ABR, bringing together families from across the continent for personalized assessments and hands-on training.

The room is ready. Now we're looking forward to welcoming the families.

☀️ A personal story from Manuel, father of Any Pascual...

"I discovered this completely by accident.

The gel came into our home because of Annie, not because of me.

But every summer, somehow, I end up using it.

I live in northern Spain, so we are not exactly famous for too much sunshine 😄

Still, every year I manage to get burned at least once. Usually when I think:

"I'll only stay outside for another 20 minutes."

And then 2 hours later...

You know the story.

Over the years I have bought plenty of aftersun products.

Some worked.
Some didn't.
Some got forgotten in a drawer.

But for whatever reason, whenever I get sunburn now, I reach for the ABR Fascia Gel.

I am not even sure when that habit started.

I just know that after a few summers of doing the same thing over and over, it became automatic.

The funny part is that every time I use it, Annie ends up with one tube less.

Fortunately she is usually willing to share. 😄"

Why might ABR Fascia Gel help?

ABR Fascia Gel was originally developed to support fascia and connective tissues.

One of its key characteristics is the presence of bioactive proteins that help improve the thixotropic properties of connective tissues.

In simple terms, healthy tissues depend on proper movement of fluids within the extracellular matrix.

When tissues become irritated, compressed, restricted, or "stuck," that fluid movement can be compromised.

The gel was designed to support a healthier tissue environment and improve the mobility of the extracellular matrix.

While it was never developed as an aftersun product, many families have found their own unexpected uses for it over the years.

☀️ As a small summer thank-you to our ABR families, we are offering 10% OFF all ABR Fascia Gel orders until July 31st.

One of the biggest frustrations recently for many ABR families has been this:

new massage guns are increasingly switching to screw-in attachments instead of the classic push-fit system.

And that means many of our ABR heads — including Superheads, Doubleheads and 4-pin heads — no longer fit properly on many of the newer models.

We were especially disappointed about this with the Bob and Brad A7, because we genuinely like this gun.

Its oscillation behavior and self-acceleration effect create a very interesting deeper but still well distributed impact during the ABR applications.

But now, some very good news.

One of our long-time ABR young adults and his team found a surprisingly simple workaround that allows the new Bob and Brad A7 to work again with our standard ABR heads.

And they kindly prepared this short tutorial video for the whole ABR community.

The solution is actually very simple:
• Remove the internal screw-in piece
• Wrap the ABR head with electrical tape
• Adjust until the fit is correct

That’s it.

A big thank you to Naran and his team for sharing this practical solution with all of us.

During the recent Denmark visit, one mother told us:

“My daughter hates the smell of the Gel…”

And honestly… our ABR coordinator Manuel immediately understood what she meant 😊

As many of you know, his daughter also has CP. After years of transfers, carrying, positioning and helping during long days and difficult nights, his shoulders and neck would often end up destroyed.

So at home he started doing something simple.

Taking a little bit of the ABR Fascia Gel into a separate glass jar and mixing it with some oils they already used at home — lavender, bergamot, patchouli, tea tree, gaultheria…

Not to replace the Gel.

Just to make it feel a bit nicer.
A bit warmer.
More “theirs”.

And funny enough… it changed a lot.

Even his daughter started enjoying it more.

Sometimes when she has a cold, they still use it on her feet before bed because she loves the smell and immediately recognizes the routine 😊

Maybe this is something many caregiver families understand very well:

Sometimes consistency is not only about therapy.

Sometimes it is about creating routines that everybody can live with for many years.

Small changes can make a very big difference over time ❤️

A few days ago we shared how Isa started opening her hand after years completely closed.

Today her mother, Viviane, wrote to us again:

“I am obsessed with this hand 😂

I am using the gel and the microstation non stop.

For the first time Isa lets me put the foam half egg in her palm.

She would scream if I tried to open her thumb.”

I think many families will immediately understand what that means.

This is not only about movement.
👉 Less defense.
👉 Less resistance.
👉 More tolerance to touch.

Little by little… the body starts fighting less.

And that changes many things.

She also wrote this:
“Listening to Leonid’s evaluation renewed my hopes again.”

Team Alonso | “For the first time, he grabbed my arm with an open hand” ❤️

One of the first things we did during our ABR course in Toledo this February was to show Team Alonso the new micro stations for wrist and hand work.

For Alonso’s family, his hands have always been one of the biggest concerns. A lot of tension, a lot of rigidity… and not many easy ways to work these difficult areas at home.

This week, Covadonga sent us a message that honestly moved us a lot:

“It was incredible. His hands opened and relaxed in a way they never had before. A few weeks ago, for the first time ever, we were taking a selfie and suddenly I felt him grabbing my arm with an open hand. For the first time in his life.”

Sometimes these moments may look small from the outside.

But families understand they are not small at all.

An open hand.
Less tension.
More comfort.
More freedom.
More connection.

After years of consistent work at home, seeing moments like this means a lot.

And the new micro stations and hyperspeed work are helping families approach these difficult hand and wrist areas in a much easier and more accessible way.

Thank you, Team Alonso, for sharing something so special with all of us ❤️

This hand hadn’t opened in years.

Always in a fist.
Thumb completely tucked inside.

Trying to open it… impossible.
Massage it… even worse.
Pain, resistance, screaming.

Even cutting her nails was a struggle.

After almost 4 years away from ABR, they decided to come back.

Nothing complicated.

We just started with something simple:
microball stations from day one
(even before the full case review)

And this is what happened.

Day 1.
Her mother, Viviane, wrote:

“For the first time she is opening this hand…
moving her fingers…
her thumb is more relaxed.”

No exercises.
No forcing.

Just the body easing off a bit…
and movement starting to show up.

If this sounds familiar…
if your child’s hand is always closed
and touching it leads to resistance…

it’s not random.
