Dear Dr. Mosher,

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful service you have provided me. I came to you in November of 2003 with an extremely painful bunion. The pain in my foot had gotten so bad that my foot hurt nearly all the time. I went to see you in hopes that you could help me without having to perform surgery. When you explained the “Bowen “ technique I have to admit that I was skeptical, but at that point, willing to try anything! After approximately 2 Bowen treatments, the pain in my foot had gotten much better and after the third visit I was almost completely pain free. I was not only relieved that I did not have to have surgery, but thrilled at the results and wanted to share them with friends and family. By my second month of seeing Dr. Mosher and receiving the Bowen therapy I was pain free. Not only did my foot feel better, but the areas of my body where I normally carry stress had to dissipate also.

I am so thankful to Dr. Mosher and believe full heartedly that this technique should be tried on all patients before they even think of surgery.

Sincerely,

Chiara M.

 To Whom It May Concern

I have bunions on both of my feet that used to cause me great pain. I am not sure where these hideous things came from. I suspect they began forming for a number of reasons, one of which is directly my fault. I used to wear shoes to small for my feet during my pre-teen and teen years. As a result of this disregard for my feet [and other causes] I developed bunions and hammertoes. The left foot bunion was less severe causing my great toe to point toward my little toe by 20 degrees or more. The right foot bunion was much more troublesome causing my great toe to point to over 30 degrees toward my little toe. I went several years this way since I was unaware of any treatment besides surgery. I am very afraid of foot surgeries since I have heard so many negative outcomes from friends and family. By the end of most days my feet would just throb and nothing seemed to help. I tried foot bathes, massagers, warm packs, cold packs and so on. Nothing helped.

My mother was seeing Dr. Mosher since she has similar problems [did I mention inherited above?] with her feet. She also had problems with calluses and corns on various places on the feet and he was helping her by trimming her callused areas and helping her non-surgically to improve the overall alignment of her feet. She seemed to be benefiting from this therapy and encouraged me to go in for a consult.

I was quite skeptical, but agreed to give it a whirl. The doctor examined my feet and told me he felt he could help me. I agreed to try the treatment and he started immediately. He pared the calluses and placed splinting on my feet to help change my gait. Dr. Mosher also talked to me about doing some Bowen therapy, a treatment to help realign my muscles and other systems. I agreed to try this also feeling I needed all the help I could get.

His treatment plan began to provide me relief after only a few treatments. I began to feel better and really didn’t know why. One night after work it hit me; I was really able to relax! The old and ever present throbbing feet were missing! I now had feet that performed well but they no longer complained about it. What a great feeling!

I finished treatments 3 to 4 years ago and remain essentially pain free. I continue to have Bowen treatments whenever I start feeling uptight and know that something is out of balance. My left great toe is virtually straight and the right great toe is 10 degrees or less deviated. The hammertoes also disappeared during the treatment. I have thanked Dr. Mitchell R. Mosher many times over for his treatment of my foot problems and overall sense of well being. I am so happy for the freedom from pain that I now enjoy. I continue to recommend Dr. Mosher many times to friends and family for problems with their feet and for stress release with the Bowen therapy.

Dear Dr. Mosher:

For most of my adult life, [I am now 49], I have had the ugliest toes. They have always been an embarrassment to me.

Approximately 1 year ago I came to you with a foot injury. After you treated my foot you suggested Bowen.

A month or so after the Bowen, I happened to notice my toes. The fungus was gone, and my toenails were actually turning pink again.

For once in my life, I can wear open toe’d shoes !

Thanks,

Jan B.

Dear Friend:

You are totally generous and charitable in your outlook, in help for people needing this technique.

You do the muscles using this Bowen technique, and are so gentle, so negligible in its’ outward malfestation, that you wonder whether it is really doing any good.

But I really know, I now walk without a cane and have no pain.

Thank you Dr. Mosher.

Cordially,

To Whom It May Concern

My name is Robert W. H. In July of 1997 I was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident. The right tibia and fibula were compounded and considerable tissue was ground off in the resulting fall onto the asphalt. This resulted in a sizable gap between the bones and resulted in my leg being encased in various types of casts for a period of 22 months. After a delayed bone graft [I sat on an electronic bone growth stimulator 16 hours a day for 8 months with no success in healing], and eventual bone mending no physical therapy was prescribed. My right foot seemed to be destined to never recover enough for normal function to even allow me to stand or walk for even as much as 4 hours a day without producing intense pain that would at times, depending on how much I used it, cripple me for days on end.

Dr. Steven W., an Auburn, Ca. Podiatrist diagnosed plantar fasciitis, capsulitis, and tendonitis as I had orthotics made for my feet, which over the years were sometimes effective, allowing me to work on my feet 4 to 6 hours a day with tolerable pain levels. At other time periods the pain reduction from using orthotics was nil and crippling again became a life circumstance.

In April of 1995, I came to Dr. Mitchell Mosher, also an Auburn, Ca. Podiatrist, to have my orthotics re-made. At this time he gave me a treatment [1] of the Bowen Technique, telling me I may need to have a second treatment in the near future. I never went back for the second treatment and, the nearly full and complete functionability I have today took around 15 months to develop, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the phenomenon of healing in my right foot is the direct result of the applied Bowen Technique. I wholly recommend it’s trial by anyone who suffers the crippling effects of pain as I did for so many years.

Sincerely,

Robert W. H.

Dear Dr. Mosher,

I just wanted to thank you for helping to make the quality of my life (and my daughter’s) better.  When I thought I was facing surgery on my toe, I was pleasantly surprised to find Bowen Therapy straightening out my toe!  Not to mention, my arm is better, and I’ve been known to get relief from a major sinus headache!  My daughter, Kristy looks forward to the relaxing stress reducing effects of this therapy, and so do I.

Dr. Mosher, you are a unique and caring physician & humanitarian, I am truly touched by your skill and compassionate ways.

Sincerely-Liz H.

Dr. Mosher,

How can I express my gratitude for how much 1 treatment of Bowen has helped me.  I can breath thru my nasal passage when lying down.  I have always had to breath thru my mouth.  I have had to wear a brace on my arm from tetanus in my elbow.  Which I no longer have to do.  I had back surgery in 1977 the scar tissue from that has always bother me, It doesn’t now!  In the past yr. I have had constant pain from spraining my ankle, breaking my leg and spraining my ankle the second time  I no longer have pain.

I am so grateful to you for your concern for people that you have mastered this therapy.

GOD BLESS!

Linda R.

Dear Doctor Mosher,

I can’t begin to thank you enough for your help.  I am much better and hope to be able to again lay on my back for a nights rest in the next few days – I still am a bit gun shy to try it.

Dear Doctor Mosher,

I had been recommended by Sandy M., my sister-in-law.  She had spoke so highly of you and explained to me regarding the Bowen technique I visited you at your Auburn office last July for a treatment- I was having an infertility problem, and I thought it would not hurt to pay you a visit.  I really enjoyed our appointment and about 3 months ago I became pregnant.  I do believe in miracles and the holistic therapy.  So thank you very much.  You were a pleasure to meet, and I wish you many more years of success and happiness.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Mosher:

Thank you very much for the Bowen treatments you’ve given me.  As you know, I had broken the fifth metatarsal bone in my foot, and was still feeling significant discomfort from it six months later.  I had trouble walking more than a short distance, and didn’t feel very secure on my feet.

After the first Bowen treatment I had with you the difference was dramatic.  For the first time in weeks, my foot didn’t hurt.  The next day it felt great too, almost no pain and much more flexibility and mobility.

By the time I came back to see you two weeks later, the foot was hurting more, but was still significantly better than it had been before the first Bowen treatment.  The second treatment worked as well as the first.

From my own experience, I believe the Bowen therapy is an excellent mode of treatment for these kind of problems, as well as many others. Beyond that, your skill with the method, combined with your excellent bed-side manner contribute to what was, for me, an excellent outcome.

Thanks again for your help.

Sincerely, 

Erik O
