SAVE A LIFE
My first experience with a patient who told me that the treatments I did had saved his life. It really took me quite by surprise. At first I thought he was kidding, until tears came to his eyes. Jeff was a Police Chaplin from a near by town. His main problem was a pain in his heel. He told me that he was favoring it and this made his back and hip hurt (seems to be a common theme). I treated both his foot and the muscles, which were involved with the back and hip with Bowen Therapy. During the third session we got into a discussion on the release of emotional holding patterns during bodywork therapies. Jeff then asked, “Is that why I’ve been so emotional the past few weeks?” I said, “Quite possibly.” He then dropped the bomb, “You know my friend, that you've saved my life!” As tears rolled from his eyes he told me about how he had become suicidal for a number of reasons, with the final straw being about a friend of his who'd had a drug problem. He was trying to help his friend get through the drug addiction. One day, he found his friend dead in his living room from an apparent overdose, and this was about all Jeff could take. I'm not claiming to have had anything to do with Jeff’s desire to continue living. He just told me that's what happened.
I was beginning the third weekly session with Rod. When I asked how he was doing with the treatments he said, “I don’t think that they're helping. I may even be a little worse. It's starting to bother me in bed when I sleep on my stomach.” Rod was experiencing low back pain and his hairdresser had relief of low back pain with one of my Bowen sessions, so she'd referred him to me for Bowen treatments. I asked Rod if he'd been examined and worked up by a physician who's qualified to evaluate back symptoms. He said, “No.” I then asked, “When was your last physical?” He said, “A couple of years ago. I'm overdue for one.” I encouraged him to make an appointment with his primary care physician to get evaluated because there are many pathologies, which can cause low back pain. I've seen patients who were diagnosed with kidney infections, pelvic disorders, cancer, and digestive problems as well as disk and vertebrae pathology. Rod’s wife came into the office to have a treatment just two weeks following our discussion that day, and she thanked me for saving Rod’s life! He went right away for a physical and his Doctor found a 12-centimeter aneurysm on his abdominal aorta, and it was about ready to rupture. By 2:00 PM that day following the diagnosis, Rod had the aneurysm repaired, and within 2 days post op, his back pain was completely gone! (To Find A Practitioner)
