Care from a Distance

My husband complained of back pain for a number of years before he found the fix he was looking for in Bowen.  My spouse was not the only person I had heard praising the therapy for back problems, but I did not know until I tried it for myself that Bowen is also very effective for knee pain.

I suffered an injury to my right knee playing tennis last year, and assumed that the pain would go away as my body healed itself.  I was wrong; the pain lingered for months, and showed no signs of going away.  I live in Abu Dhabi and we do not have Bowen here, so I tried acupuncture, which briefly helped but then the discomfort returned.

When we went back to Vancouver for holidays, I made an appointment for a set of three Bowen sessions.  After the first visit, the pain was gone.  After the second, I was told that I did not need the third session at all, but was welcome to pass it on to my husband as a maintenance visit for his back.

More than six months later, my right knee is still a happy piece of my anatomy.  I am a Bowen Believer.

Just wanted to let you know that the homeopathic remedy, along with your treatment, worked wonders to curbing my anxiety, and though the affects weren’t immediate, the swelling in my jaw and my overall calmness improved within a week from our session. Taking the homeopathic remedy every week/two weeks, along with maintaining a healthy(er) diet and exercise regime has managed to keep me definitely afloat, and away from filling my prescription for anti-depressants!

Thank you a million times! R.G.

My arm is fantastic, slept through the night for the first time since the accident after our session yesterday! I recommend you to everyone who is showing any signs of pain;) Anyways thanks for your magic hands!

I came to Jonathan 2 weeks after I severely dislocated my shoulder in an accident and had to wait more then 8 hours to have it relocated! there was major muscle damage and it was almost completely immobile when I arrived at his office. Jonathan was very accommodating and gentle with my extremely fragile shoulder while treating me. Within three days of my initial session I was back driving my stick shift car! It was remarkable how fast I was improving, it felt like every hour there was a noticeable change! By my next session a week later my arm was functioning at 60%! Almost immediately after my second session the mobility jumped to 75% and steadily improving! I have a very active lifestyle and was dreading being out of the game for many months, as my doctors predicted, and thanks to Jonathan I am back at the barn and my shoulder is feeling great! I am a believer in Bowen therapy, The results speak for themselves!

My knee is feeling much better–I’m frankly amazed at how well Bowen works (and your skill probably has a lot to do with it also) for the effort required to administer the therapy–Bowen must rank as the most energy efficient therapeutic modality in the world. In past therapeutic sessions for this same problem, I’ve been yanked, cranked, cracked and poked without nearly the same results–very impressive.”

I had been experiencing 24-hr-a-day headaches for about a year and a half. Most were mild and many were severe.  My headaches were diagnosed as migraines after an MRI and confirmed by a neurologist.  I pursued various strategies – local injections, acupuncture, numerous medications – all to little avail.

Although I was able to function for the most part, I was aware of the pain every minute of the day and so was unable to enjoy a normal life.  Our family GP was diligent, supportive, and did everything possible to help, including multiple referrals to specialists. Still, the constant search for relief and the many trips to doctors’ offices was time consuming, taxing, and demoralizing.

I felt immediate relief after my very first session and have not had a migraine recurrence in over a month.  I no longer take any medications for pain relief. Having been on one form of drug or another for such a long period of time, this benefit is of particular importance to me.

I was initially concerned with headaches but have benefited in other ways as well.  Care was taken to assess and consider the overall health issues that might have been impacted by my childhood polio and the resultant imbalance to the right side of my body.  The four Bowen treatments I have had to date have not only given me migraine relief but have addressed sciatic pain and shoulder/neck pain as well.

I would definitely recommend giving this treatment method a try.  The manipulations are very gentle, and in my case, the pain relief immediate.  As a treatment option, it is no more expensive that other methods, including prescription drugs, and with no side-effects.

I appreciated that the underlying issues that may have contributed to the headaches were considered first, as opposed to treating the symptoms only.  I never felt forced to take more treatments – quite the opposite in fact.

I had a hormonal problem that caused my period to be permanent, very painful (couldn't even sleep), extremely abundant and full of clots. This had been going on a year and a half. I tried regular medicine, and natural medicine with no improvement. I tried homeopathic remedies but they didn't help much (several bottles, and taking drops every 2 hours, per months). Now, I am completely better with normal cycle and normal blood.

I 100% recommend Jonathan for any health problem, he's professional, efficient, focused on details, and accurate. Jonathan is now our whole family's doctor, and we are recommending him to all our friends
