Dr. JoAnne Whitaker, MD, was facing a hip replacement and back surgery when she discovered the Bowen Technique. After receiving Bowen treatments, not only was she able to walk, but she went back to playing golf… without surgery. She was so impressed that she flew to Australia to train in the Bowen Technique and now treats patients with ailments ranging from bunions to heart disease. According to Dr. Whitaker, “Bowen Therapy is the single, most important hands-on healing technique in medicine.”
Dr. Christine Staub, a family physician with a special interest in the treatment of chronic pain, has seen the Bowen Technique “unlock the door” for patients who reached an impasse in their pain treatment. “I am thrilled to have Bowen Therapy as a resource for myself, family, friends and patients,” she said.
After slipping in the hot tub I had an ongoing problem of mild back pains. These would come and go in various places on my back, usually hanging on for weeks in one general place before it moved on to another. For years nothing seemed to work, but being in my mid-forties I felt I was too young to succumb to permanent suffering. One day I read an article from Let It Heal in my local newspaper and decided to give it a try. I had nothing to lose, so I made the appointment for my first of the (recommended three to five) Bowen treatments. I told Amber I was very skeptical, and I was determined to get back out to the gym as soon as possible to give the treatment a real test. I was very surprised that I actually did feel better and by the next day and went to the gym thoroughly expecting to have that darn recurring back pain show up again. It didn’t seem to plague me like it had before, so I went back for a second treatment still skeptical. Again going regularly to the gym I felt much better than I had for years. I had a third treatment, which finished the job completely, and on my fourth visit I had to confess to Amber I really didn’t need to be there as all the pain was completely gone. Amber was happy with my progress and said there was no need for me to come in again unless something came up again. I find my back tends to heal quickly now from any stress I put on it even without further treatment. My experience has made me a true believer of Bowen therapy and it’s long term benefits.
Thank you Amber and Let It Heal staff.
