On Wednesday, I treated an 82 year young male patient who had experienced hip pain for 64 years!! He has had to take 6 Osteo Panadol every day to control the pain. He had x-rays and CT scans and had been treated by Physio and Chiro. The pain was as a result of a motorcycle accident when he was 18 where he slid underneath a truck. Last year he had been diagnosed with Leukemia and his last test two weeks ago said his red blood cells and platelets were now within normal range. He had not been able to play tennis, which he loved, for the last two months. When treating him I used my intuition to decide how many moves to do on his body and how best to treat him. I used a mixture of Dorn Spinal Therapy, Applied Myoskeletal Therapy and Smart Bowen Therapy. His right pelvis was superior (higher) as was his right ASIS (front of pelvis - anterior superior iliac spine) and he had a left leg length discrepancy of 6mm. Photos below show how I assess leg length using Dorn Spinal Therapy. By the end of the treatment his body was fully in alignment. I spoke with him the next day (30 hours later) and he told me he was completely FREE of pain. He had not taken one Osteo Panadol since his treatment. I have given him NREs (neuromuscular re-education exercises) to do at home and I look forward to seeing him this coming Wednesday to see how he is and whether his body has held its alignment. I have to tell you when we spoke on the phone we were both Joyous. :) I am looking forward to training other Bowen Therapists this weekend in Dorn Spinal Therapy with my mentor Heidi. :)
