Mike was recommended to visit Else for physiotherapy and Bowen therapy for a slipped disc and a dislocated shoulder, both of which had occurred several weeks earlier, but were still causing him discomfort and pain.

The session started with a lengthy discussion of his past injuries and the damage to his skeleton caused by Mike’s previous military profession, playing rugby and high-altitude mountaineering. As well as seeking to understand the background to his condition, Else put him completely at ease and explained how she used several therapies, depending on the person and the nature of the problem presented.

The power that Else has is amazing – a true gift of healing. By simply laying her hands on him, with the gentlest of touches, she eased the pain in his shoulder and relaxed the muscles. She then did the same to his lower spine and eased the cold numbness in his right knee, which had been a direct result of the slipped disc at L4. Mike’s whole body felt so much more relaxed and calm. It continued to react and adjust over the following 48 hours, but, thereafter, he was free of pain and able to carry on as normal.

After a number of weeks, Mike visited Else again as he was feeling extremely stressed, frustrated and angry with recent events in his life, and felt that this was due to his back not being one hundred percent and his shoulder still giving him occasional nerve pain and discomfort.

Else, again, spent some time talking with Mike and watching him intently. On examining his shoulder again, she concluded that it was definitely torn inside and he would either need several weeks of regular healing sessions with her or, as he did not live in Singapore, he should seek a surgeon’s advice.

It was her opinion that his shoulder and back were not the problem, but merely symptoms of something else. She could feel that he was clearly desperately sad inside, and that his whole body was tense and wound up like a huge spring. She invited him to lie down and after she laid her hands on him again, Mike experienced an enormous sense of relief, which overwhelmed him. He was able, for the first time in his life, to express the deep concern, which he had bottled up for years. After a considerable time, it was as if he awoke and found himself feeling both relieved and relaxed, and with a new sense of calm.

Mike’s slipped disc has corrected itself and is now pain-free. His shoulder is due to be operated on and will soon be fully recovered. The mental and spiritual relief that Else has given him has remained and has been like a new lease of life.
