Meet Russell
Background
I have 16 years within the construction industry, during that time I picked up a handful of tickets including my builder’s licence. After this time, I returned to the family business of Epoxy Floor laying, waterproofing and industrial coatings. I found that I was on the path to having a bad back for life. My only relief from pain was to lie flat on the ground for up to an hour before and after work.
What began my Bowen Journey
I had visited many different practitioners in the hope of finding relief from sometimes a debilitating pain. Then one day a friend suggested I try Bowen therapy. At first, I was very sceptical as everything else had failed me, I meet with my now mentor, Charmaine Jones, and therapist she quickly worked out what the cause to my sore back was and came up with a plan to treat me. Within a short period of time, I could touch my toes without pain for the first time in years. Over the next period of treatments, I felt my back was fixed, and to this day I don't have any pain.
Beginning my Career in Bowen
During one of my treatments, I made mention to Charmaine that I felt like I would enjoy helping other people in similar situations to my Own. She encouraged me to begin training with Bowen Training Australia, which is where I completed my Cert iv in Bowen Therapy, and in the future, I'm planning to continue my education with a diploma.
