Wendy came to see me with an issue in her neck and shoulder.

I had talked with her a couple times about trying this type of treatment but, she was using other methods and exercises which seemed to be helping, and that is the most important part.

I ran a contest on Facebook for a free treatment and Wendy won. With this she decided to give The Bowen Technique a try.

In January 2016 she came to see me. Her primary concerns were restrictions and pain in the right neck and shoulder, low back pain – on which she had surgery 4 years prior, and knee stiffness – both had been replaced.

The neck and shoulder issues began from a snowmobile accident in 1975 – 41 years ago! She had recently done physical therapy and had rotator cuff surgery on that shoulder with minimal relief.

Upon completion of her first Bowen treatment Wendy stated that her back, hip and neck felt looser and she was feeling pretty good overall.

You did something for my neck that nobody has ever been able to do! I don’t think about pain everyday like I used to!

A week later at her second session she reported that she had no pain and an increased range of motion in the shoulder. Her comment to me was “You did something for my neck that nobody has ever been able to do!” She still had some low back pain and left sciatica as well as a “burning feeling” in the side ribs. Although the rib pain had been going on for a while, she had not mentioned that at her first session.

Treatment three was another week later. “I don’t think about pain everyday like I used to!”

Legs had improved, Right shoulder had an occasional “catch” on certain movements, neck improved, some low back pain, burning spot on ribs improved – more sore than burning.

I had no back pain after working out!

Treatment four, another week later – “I had no back pain after working out. I did not have to use ice or muscle cream.” (this had been very common after workouts). Ribs still some soreness but not burning. Still feeling a slight pain in neck.

Upon last check about 6 months after her last treatment her neck and low back pain is minimal and the neck and shoulder range of motion is still holding up well!

The pain and limitations that Wendy had lived with for over 40 years is now gone.
