There were six participants for TBT101 in Currumbin last week. The two who have prior Bowen training with other Bowen schools including Bowtech were quite emphatic in stating that this was the best Bowen course they had done, as the understanding given far surpasses their previous
training and the simplicity of TBT101 and assessment skills taught gave them much more flexibility to now use Bowen the way it should be used.

QUOTE FROM A PARTICIPANT: Really enjoyed the very thoroughly explained and demonstrated course work...... The most informative seminar I have attended, I take away a new confidence in performing Bowen Therapy. Thank You.  DD.

On a more personal note:

Rick and Kerry would like to thank all of the people from around Australia who have supported them in attending training over 2010. It has been an interesting and informative year and we are sure we have learnt as much as our students in many ways.  We also wish Ross and Karen a heartfelt thank you for sharing their knowledge with all of us. Without their generosity of both time and information, so many of us would not have had the opportunity to simplify and intensify our treatments, and so dramatically change those of whom we come in contact with. Have a wonderful and fun filled Christmas and New Year and look forward to a great year to come.

Best regards,

Rick Cuthbert & Kerry Stroud

In my mail from 25th Sept. 2010, there was a special case of one of my clients.  Now she can feel the area between 12th rib and her feet.  She can feel a flow in her entire body and does not experience pain in her sacrum-area (she has had this for 11 years). 

Following the bladder-move she can now control her bladder for more than 4 hours - before she had to go to the toilet twice every hour!!! I will keep you informed of her progress.

I have a client, a Builder, who comes 3-4 times a year with lower back and piriformis pain, extending down his hamstrings to the back of his knee.   Up until I attended the EP level 1 this year, I had treated him with lower back, piriformis, sacrum /TFL & sciatica moves. Since learning EP1, I simply did the  lower back move from EP1 which freed up his back beautifully.  Thank you Ross.

A regular client of mine suddenly went into an extreme back spasm whilst at home.  It was so severe that she rang me for an emergency session.  When I saw her she was white with pain and could hardly move.  The pain came in waves which reminded me of contractions, and she had to shallow pant to get through them.  15 minutes into the session she was more comfortable, with the sharpness and severity greatly reduced, but she was still with some pain and restriction.  I sent her on her way wishing that I could have helped her more.  

Later that day she sent me an email saying how much better she was feeling.  A week later she returned in a much better state than previously but still not 100%.  She was curious to know why her body did what it did.  I knew there was a big psoas involvement and I asked her if she had been doing any activity that was one sided.  I showed her with the straight leg raise the difference between the two sides and both of us could feel that the left side was greatly restricted.  I asked her what had she done to put stress on the left side of her body.  She spent some time thinking back and then told me the story. She was pruning some high roses and her 3 year old grandson wanted to help, so she lifted him up onto her left hip and held him whilst she continued to prune.  Together with me having cleared and balanced the psoas, and her having clarity about the cause of the spasms, she completely relaxed into a beautiful balanced state.  I received an email from her the next day and it simply said:  "I am as free as a bird."   Result!
