THREE
MONTHS EARLIER MY FACE AND BODY WERE WRACKED WITH PAIN, NOW, AS
I STOOD UPRIGHT AND PROUD WITH MY HUSBAND RENEWING OUR VOWS, I
JUST COULDNT STOP SMILING
Hi, Im
Julie, Im 52 years old,now very happily married and a previous
sufferer with a frozen shoulder.
ID had the
pain for years, i just thought that that was it, id have a
painful frozen shoulder for the rest of my life and I just have
to live with it.
You
manage, you change the way you do things, you accept you can no
longer do soemthings you really enjoyed, i even have to think
twice about picking up my own grandchildren and prefer it if Im
sitting down just in case!
My family
have been supportive and my husband very helpful and
understanding now, though at the start it was tough, he now
helps me do things that previously Id taken for granted and I
appreciate that, though I cant help but feel a burden to him
and useless to myself.
But I had
to carry on the best I could.
Anyway, i
dont want to bore you with all this negativity
so about 4
months ago now, i was talking to one of my best friends,
Suzie, about it. Now Suzie is into all these new age
treatments and, unbeknown to me, she had been suffering
from IBS for many years with it slowly getting worse
every time. She told me about this practitioner of Bowen
technique that Suzie had been seeing for a couple of
months to treat her IBS.
Well id never heard of Bowen, and my frozen shoulder was hardly
similar to Suzies IBS problems, but I was at a complete loss ,
I realyl didnt want to be a burden to my family any longer and
Id had enough of the pain, so I decided to go along to see for
myself.
I met with
Zoe Cook at her surgery in Street, Somerset. I was nervous,
didnt really know what to expect and, to be honest, i was
somewhat scared too. But Zoe, she was marvelous, it was as if
she knoew exactly how i felt and she put me at ease early on.
We sat and
she asked me about my condition, how it was affecting me and
other things, but it wasnt like an inquisition, I felt Zoe was
genuinely warmly interested in my problems and really wanted to
help me. She really seemed to understand me and I very soon
warmed to Zoes gentle questions and tone.
I was
still half expecting to be told that she couldnt help me. But
Zoe advised that we set up a course of treatments, 3 sessions
of 45-60 minutes each over the next four weeks and she hoped
that would certainly alleviate a lot of my
suffering.
Now I have to admit I was somewhat dubious. Zoe
hadnt over committed on her expectations of
success, far from it, but when you have been suffering form
pain as long as I had and it had become second nature, you
honestly dont think youre ever going to be rid of
it.
Five days
later and I was back in Zoe's surgery, nervous once agin, Zoe
gently advised me what she would be doing, that I wouldnt feel
any pain as a direct result of what she was doing, though the
pain that was already there may still be felt during the
session and that I shouldnt expect instant
results.
OK, I
mused, as I laid myself down on Zoes couch and waited for the
treatment to begin.
Its
difficult to describe the actual treatment, suffice to say it
was as if Zoe was firmly kneeding areas of my body that were
related to my pain.
I
certainly never felt uncomfortable with the treatment, and was
respected at all times, and I actually found it all quite
relaxing and reassuring, I was finally taking some real action
to try to rid myself of this pain. I felt really good just for
that.
The 50
minutes passed quicker than I imagined they would, Zoe
explained a few things to me, to take it easy and expect some
possible increase in pain at times as the healing process went
to work and I left having booked my next session for 8 days
later.
I cant say
I felt any more or less pain following the first treatment, but
I did feel good about myself that I was finally taking some
action to alleviate the situation and my husband also noticed
the improvement in my moods, i was already feeling happier with
myself and others.
The next
treatment day came and again the session went well. This time
the day after when i arose, I noticed a slight reduction in the
shoulder pain and got really excited and rang my husband to
tell him. He was very happy to hear the good news though we
both realised there was still a journey ahead of me. Bless him,
he came home that evening with a huge boquet of beautiful
flowers, god he's wonderful really.
As the
days went on, the pain reduced further bit by bit and when I
next visited Zoe for my last treatment of the course, I told
her the good news and she smiled warmly, genuinely delighted to
be helping me.
After the
final session ,Zoe advised I should keep up a maintenance
treatment once a month just like a check up and I happily
agreed. I knew I wasnt out of the woods yet, but i was
certainly able to see the sun through the tree tops now, and
boy did it feel great.
Two weeks
later and the shoulder pain that had been with me constantly
for the previous 6 years, had reduced to such an extent that I
was able to slowly begin trying to do things I hadnt dared to
do for years. Simple things like doing all my own face and
hair, putting on my favourite heavy overcoat all by myself, I
even dared to walk round with my 7 month old grand daughter in
my arms, absolutely precious.
Well now
Im three months down the line from my first treatment with Zoe,
I still have monthly check up treatments but both Zoe and
myself feel the treatments have been a huge success, I feel so
much better about everything in my life, Im no longer a burden
to anyone, sure Im still slower at doing some things than most
people but thats a small price to pay when, for 6 years
previous, I couldnt even do half the things Im once again
starting to take for granted.
My
husband, who in reality, had been an absolute rock for me, is
now able to go out more and enjoy his golf again, knowing that
Im more independent and safe to leave on my own. We're also
going on a fantastic cruise in two months where he has arranged
for us to renew our vows! He says Its like we have a new life
together now so lets damn well celebrate it!
Zoe has
been brilliant for me, i cant thank her enough. I previously
would have baulked at the thought of spending
£60 a
session with someone like Zoe, but thanks to Suzies
recommendation, i went along and now Im just so happy
that I did. The pain has gone completely, I have great
freedom of movement, of course I am still wary and
careful, but the difference is astounding. people dont
recognise me as my face is no longer doubled up with pain
and frustration. I spend all day smiling happily,
thanking god, and Zoe, that Im free of the restrctions I
had endured for far too long.
I highly
recommend that you try Zoe if you are unfortunate enough to
suffer from such pains.
£60 a
session is a tiny investment for your pain free happy future.
Id happily have paid 10 times that amount if I had known the
fantastic results I would get, and realyl you should too,
believe me it is totally worth it
Zoe is
wonderful , Bowen treatment, well i swear by it now, no matter
if youve not heard of it before, Zoe will explain it all to you
and make you feel completely at ease.
Give Zoe a call now on 00000
000000 and
take immediate action to relieve the rest of your life
from restricting pain. Remember, you are also freeing
your loved ones too.
