    ALL pain gone? That is great! More details of the results though please as I can't remember  :-) Those of us who support Bowen are collecting experiences...

    If you are using the "Dead slow and nearly stop" approach then there is no reason why you can't start a careful reduction now.

    My bowers report after first therapy  pain down to nearly nil. 2nd treatment One week later, no pain in knees and bottom of spine going Ito hips all gone,  2weeks later I had my third  one. Which after  I did have pain. But my therepist  did say I would.  For about.  3.  Days.   And now it's gone.  I cannot say how much better I feel.  I just hope it lasts. A good while. But I will keep you all informed as time goes on.   Really really. Cannot. Give it enough praise
