Chronic pain is …
Chronic pain is very often emotional at root (Stress).

I saw 2 years’ chronic pain in my hands from typing vanish after seeing many doctors, using many “ergonomic” keyboards, and doing stretches and exercises galore.

John E. Sarno’s “The Mindbody Prescription” literally removed my hand pain instantly. Check it out on Amazon.

This sounds like a crazy story, or spam, but it’s just my experience. Good luck

Nor is treatment …
Nor is treatment with pharmacudicals quantifiable according to your standards; allopathic and osteopathics alike inquire of the patient to grade their pain levels; to refrain from obtaining or disregard a patient’s input defeats the purpose!
While NO one treatment is going to work in every case, there are a significant number of responsive patient cases which of course quantify the method, even if the only difference is the patient’s confidence that its working, the outcome is still healing!

In other words, it …
In other words, it cannot be quantifiable. The very principle of asking the patient to subjectively grade the pain means that the entire methodology is suspectible to autosuggestion.

In other words, it’s unscientific woo, with only anecdotal, circumstantial evidence to support it.

The reason you …
The reason you can’t use a double blind study with TBT is because its methodologies do not allow for a placebo since the method is quite easily differentiated on its subjects.

I’ve had Bowen …
I’ve had Bowen therapy and had great results, I also studied it. All you are doing is causing a “vibration” across the muscle fibers like a rubber band. The muscle relaxes because it has been manipulated. Its not rocket science, its very simple.

You should take the …
You should take the time to see what Bowen claimed. A shame someone recently (2008-10-23) deleted the Wikipedia article, as it debunked most of this, but you really should look at the peer-reviewed case studies done and see how unscientific they were.

If it “works” for you, great. However, can anyone prove this works, not because the patient believes it will work, but that there is fundamentally something different than a deep-tissue massage?

Put it in a medical journal and I’ll read it.
