Dear
Karen: Following is a statement that I would like you to use as my Customer Testimonial: “I
have a condition of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. I am also allergic
to many types of drugs used to treat these conditions. I own my own Insurance
Brokerage and am a Mother of three daughters, so I have a very demanding
schedule
Instead, Karen suggested a Bowen treatment. Not only did the Bowen treatment take the pain and stiffness from my neck, but what was most amazing was the affect it had on my knees. The Bowen Technique provided mobility in my knees without pain that I had not experienced for many years, and has continued to do so. The affect of the treatment has been long term, which is very gratifying. I have recommended this treatment to many accident victims that I have dealt with, and other people that I know who suffer from arthritic or rheumatic problems. It has been wonderful to have mobility back, and to be for the most part pain-free. Knowing I can be treated again, without the use of medication is also very comforting.” I do feel that this treatment is very effective, and wish you success in your endeavors to educate our industry with this alternative. Yours
very truly,
To whom is may concern: Our
son, David, who is now seven years old, has Down’s syndrome and Autism. He also
presents with extreme hypotonia (low muscle tone) and is legally blind. For the
past several months, David has been receiving Bowen therapy from Karen Louise
Primdahl of Copenhagen International Health and Beauty Clinic in Lindsay,
Ontario, Canada, and we believe that it has been very helpful to David in regard
to his overall development. He has been undergoing Bowen treatments; we have
seen greater changes in David’s development. In our experience, there appears to
be a strong correlation between these positive Over the course of treatment, David’s vestibular and proprioceptive functioning has improved significantly. He has acquired greater strength, stability, balance, control and coordination. As a result, he is not only able to walk better and for longer periods of time; he is also more willing to take risks in attempting other gross motor activities. For example, he now goes on the climber at school (with help), he walks downstairs by himself instead of coming down on his bum, he can climb onto his tricycle by himself (we’re still working on helping him to ride it), and he is finally starting to run. Moreover, David used to wear foot orthotics. Prior to Bowen therapy, David was no thriving, that is, he was not making appropriate gains in weight and height. For about three years, he hovered around the same weight and height. Following Bowen treatments, within a single 6-month period, David grew six centimeters and gained eight pounds. The result of these changes has been that David no longer has the look and posture of a baby, but that of a little boy, and people now treat him in a more age-appropriate way. Before Bowen, primarily because of the hypotonia, which resulted in poor peristalsis of the bowel and constipation, David did not have regular bowel movements; in the middle of one of the first sessions, he had to get up to use the washroom. David has also become calmer, less hypersensitive, and more cognitively aware than before. He is better able to cope with his environment in terms of the whole range of sensory input including visual, auditory, and physical stimuli. He is more interested in people, actively engages with others more often, and is more affectionate, His attentiveness and responsiveness to what is being spoken to or asked of him, as well as to what is going on around him, has increased. These changes have been particularly helpful at school in that he is more willing and able to focus, listen. Work, cooperate in hand over hand activities where required, and socialize appropriately.
Most important of all, David’s self-esteem has improved greatly. Here is an example that brought tears to my eyes. A few weeks prior to beginning Bowen therapy, David said: “I stupid.” During the very first treatment, he looked up at me and said: ‘I smart.” This had been Bowen’s greatest gift to David and to us as well. For a person who feels good about him or herself is a happy person who will have better relationships with others and who will be motivated to achieve far more that a person who does not. All of these changes reveal the reality of the body/mind connection, which is the basis for a new paradigm in healthcare that is gaining increasing acceptance. Accordingly, it is my hope and my expectation that health insurance companies will soon accept the Bowen technique as an approved therapy. Since Bowen tends to have a wider range of application, more lasting results and require fewer treatments than other rehabilitative modalities, such as chiropractic, massage and physiotherapy, it will also mean cost savings for insurance companies and clients alike.
Yours truly,
Dear Karen: Thank you for your dedication to the Bowen technique and commitment to helping me. I have been impressed with the alignment of my posture, which has occurred since the beginning of our sessions.
Additionally, Vern Harper would like to extend his gratitude. After the 1st session you gave him in the summer, he was able to walk without using the support of his cane. I wish you the greatest success in your professional endeavors. I hope the benefits of Bowen can be shared with others. All
the best,
Re the Bowen Treatment. I had
a car accident, my car was totaled, I was badly shaken up plus having a broken
wrist. I had the treatments recommended After several weeks I finally went for the Bowen treatment which fixed my back and shoulders without any more difficulty. I have also had the Bowen treatment for other problems, respiratory, neck and shoulders. I find it is the most effective treatment for these type of problems and recommend the treatment very highly. I have recommended the Bowen treatment to a lot of people and they are so pleased to get the results they are looking for. Lois Percy April 21, 2005 Dear Karen; I would like to extend my thanks to you for helping me with your Bowen technique after I had a bad fall last year. In the early spring of last year, I fell on my left kneecap, which took the impact of a rock on the ground that was covered in mud.
I was frightened of the possibility of arthritis settling into my knee, as I would age so, the very next day I came to see you for a Bowen treatment. I immediately had relief from pain, as you were able to release the inflammation in the knee. I had very little bruising as a result I believe. The treatment also allowed my body to relax instead of remaining clenched and holding onto the pain. A second Bowen treatment the next week released the remaining inflammation and pain and this treatment you focused on bringing the rest of my body back into alignment so I could wholly mend. After two Bowen treatments and within three weeks of the incident, the symptoms were virtually gone and the last of the swelling and pain diminished. Presently I have forgotten that I even had such a bad fall because there is no pain in my left knee at all. I wish you good health and continued successes in helping people with the Bowen technique. Yours Very Truly, Nicki K. Dedes Benalmadena, Spain 15/5-2005Dear Karen. I write this to you, to thank you for the Bowtech treatment you gave me after my accident with a motorbike.
As you perhaps remember I had to wear a metal
support at my wrist, because of the pain and weakness in my hand. You My pain and illness disappeared immediately just after your gentle treatment. And I didn’t have to wear my metal support from that minute, and haven’t been wearing it since. At the same time it took the top of my migraine attacks, which I of cause, first discovered later. I have tried a lot of different treatments during the last 30 years, but never a treatment like this!! It was so gentle and absolutely painless and there was absolutely no side effects what so ever. I felt very secure under the treatment, and that was surely because of your many years of experience and many years in the business. It is truly a treatment I will recommend to many people in the future. Warmest regards, Erik Schou

and want to continue to be an active person, both in my business and
with my family. As with most arthritic patients, all joints are affected,
however pain and stiffness in my knees is probably the worst, making it often
quite painful to negotiate stairs in particular. From time to time, I also
experience stiffness and pain in my neck and upper back. Sometimes making me
immobile in that area. When that occurs, I have tried many treatments, and found
in the past that a massage treatment will at least allow some mobility; which is
why I initially went to Copenhagen International. 
changes and the Bowen technique.
In fact, the specialist teacher from the Ministry of Education, whose
responsibility it is to assess and develop programming strategies for children
with special needs, told me that when he first saw David he didn’t even think he
had Autism. 
David’s communication skills have improved as well. He is talking more often; he
is once again speaking words, saying the alphabet, counting, and singing rhyming
songs with us, which he has nor done since the onset of autism, he has acquired
more words, and he has better articulation. At the end of the first treatment,
David repeated: “You’re welcome” and “Have a good weekend>” He had not spoken
either of these phrases before and in fact had rarely communicated over the past
four years in more than single word utterances. At the end of the second
treatment, he started singeing ‘O Canada”. Prior to that, we had never heard
David sing by himself.
I
feel the most powerful healing for myself came in the 4th session.
You had adjusted my lower back, hips and coccyx. In the session I felt a
balancing take place. I rested well that night and also took a short nap the
next day. When I got up from my nap, I placed my feet on the floor and stood up.
Once standing, immediately I felt my entire right hip rotate back and settle in
a new place. For all of the spine and back support I have had over 12 years for
scoliosis and whiplash symptoms, I have never experienced such a physical
transformation. The hip has remained in its new place and pressure has been
alleviated form my lower back.
by the insurance company and was not improving.
The blow to my knee was a stunning
and painful shock to my entire system. Of course there was pain and swelling in
the knee area, inflammation all along my left leg to the foot, and a complete
loss of balance in the rest of my body as I struggled to walk. The right side of
my body was trying to compensate for the injury to the left side, so every
muscle in my back and neck was also sore.
perhaps
also remember that because of the blow to my head, I was ‘walking besides my
self’ and had terrible headache.
