A self-empowering healing resource, effective for the treatment of back and joint pain, headaches, sports injuries and fibromyalgia.

Very simple to follow. I appreciated the easy-to-understand instructions and demonstrations of muscle movements. Great for beginners.

Gerri's explanations of the material are extremely clear, making this a perfect introduction for newcomers to this powerful healing technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars This video delivers!, June 18, 2006

This review is from: Miracle Pain Relief-The Gentle Power of Bowen For Family of Friends (DVD)

Miracle Pain Relief! is an introductory Bowen technique video intended for people of all ages with no prior knowledge of body work. Mrs. Shapiro gently and clearly walks the viewer thru the 10 sets of moves on lower back, upper back, and neck. The moves can be a little confusing at first, but the video is so clear it's really fool proof. The Q & A section answers most of the questions one has about this new therapy. The scenes of Hawaii are nice, too. Again, this is a very basic but effective introduction to Bowen. When you're ready for more, I'd suggest the books by Julian Baker and Gene Dobkin, and then take a class. The only shortcoming I can think of is that the photos of positions in the booklet are not specific enough about movement directions and where lines are--but with watching the video you'll figure it out. I want to add that what I learned in this video alone alleviated a severly painful episode of sciatica when nothing else helped. Such an episode would usually take 2-4 weeks to clear up, but with Bowen it started getting better in 3 days and was completely gone in 10 days and has never returned. I've suffered with sciatica off and on for 20 years, so what Bowen Therapy did for me is nothing short of a miracle to me. Also, I used it to fix 2 incidences of agonizing frozen shoulder in my girlfriend. One night she couldn't raise her hand above her hip, so I treated her. The next morning she was over 50% improved, and she got better with each day! We were both grateful. Additionally, it's been very useful in helping little aches and pains that hurt but one wouldn't go to a doctor for--headaches, neck strains, back ache, etc. I can't recommend this video and Bowen Therapy enough. I'm certain there are people or conditions for which Bowen would not be effective or afford relief, but I found it effective for myself, and I encourage others to at least try it and give it a fair trial test--it might be just what they need. It can't hurt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "How To" for Bowen Therapy, July 19, 2006

This review is from: Miracle Pain Relief-The Gentle Power of Bowen For Family of Friends (DVD)

This video details step by step the Bowen moves in such a way that even a 5 yr old could do it. Very precise and easy to follow, a bit tideous at times, but well worth the investment. (I paid over $1000 for a Live Bowen course and didn't get as much out of it as with the video!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Grateful For This Amazing Healing Resource, October 20, 2006

This review is from: Miracle Pain Relief-The Gentle Power of Bowen For Family of Friends (DVD)

I live in a remote area. I would have to fly hundreds of miles to reach the nearest Bowen practitioner! And so I am very grateful to have access to this DVD to help my family members gain some relief from years of debilitating pain (migraines; fibromyalgia; arthritis). In each case there was an easing of pain and more and more relief each week. The instructions were very easy to follow and the results were amazing!
