Bowen Technique
Posted , 5 users are following.
i went yesterday to the English lady here in Florida who does the Bowen therapy. She was trained in Austrailia and England before moving to the States some 15 years ago.
It was an interesting two hours. The first hour we talked about my condition and how she came to study Bowen and the second part was Bowen. It's rather strange to me but I believe it works. Today I was filled with energy that didn't let up. I am not 100% perfect in the pain dept. But not too bad at all and it comes and goes.
if this works for me I'm coming over there to give Lodger a hug😀 or maybe she'd rather have a bottle of the "monk juice"

ARE you the lady who posted you had to call ambulance you were so I'll? I have been watching to see how she is.
i live in the Ohio near Youngstown and sure wish someone here did the Bowen Therapy.
Also I have been trying to get the booklet PMR patients wrote and the CD
but when I register to get on the site it says wrong phone number. Oh, course because it's foreign to English numbers.
Any suggestions how I can purchase them?
I really like this site.i broke my ankle 10/30/14 and in March of this year
PMR hit . I suffered through the pain until last Friday when I went to a Rhumatologist and am on Prednisone. He said 20 a day but I am doing 15 as some suggested on here. I do my housework but at a slower pace and over several days, as I don't want to sit down and not get up again.
in other words not give in to this disease !

i went to Bowen Therapist this morning and inquired for you about a Bowen Therapist in your area. My therapists name is Cheryl Hiller and she suggested that you call a Therapist/instructor Gene Hummel in Barberton, Ohio and possibly his office could put u in touch with someone. She also said he is a bit abrupt but very good at what he does. But you wouldn't be going to him anyway, you would just be wanting a referral.
I don't know what I saw before but I can't find it now. Sorry about that.
hope it works out for you.

i sent you a lengthy response but it came back to me because I incuded the lady's email address who helped me with the purchase of the DVD and pamphlets. I would contact her for you but I don't know how to get your email address. I'm sure there is a way around this and later today whe I have more time I'll figure it out or maybe someone else can let us know.
there were two ladies who helped me Mavis and Margaret. I also have the web site for ordering which doesn't ask for a phone number and I may be able to walk you through that.
yes, I am the lady who went to the hospital in an ambulance.
i will also check with my Bowen therapist next week to see if she can locate someone in your area. Youngstown is a large city, right? This lady is strictly Bowen but there may be massage therapists who do the Bowen technique
she told me when she came here from the UK she had to train as a massage therapist before they would license her to practice Bowen. It cost her $10,000 to go through the training for something she will never use. So that may be why there are not many around
I will get this straightened out just give me a day.
i started on 20 mg. and have been up and down twice. Have learned a lot from our UK friends and hopefully we'll both get a handle on this.
keep in touch

the closest Bowen Therapist to Youngstown (I googled it) is 35 miles away in Rowena. I don't know your situation but it may be worth the trip. According to my therapist you may only need to go twice and then every once in awhile to do a follow up.
ill get the DVD info later

i think the best way we can deal with PMR is not to focus on the long haul but deal with it one day at a time and as it has been mentioned before to pace ourselves.
Just a thought.
Have the best day possible.
