Having a bath or shower without first fiddling with a pair of ear plugs might seem like no big thing – but in our household we’re rejoicing!
With countless ear infections, eardrum perforations, surgery and seven years of osteopathic treatment under his belt, my son had just been advised by an ENT consultant that his hearing was well-below normal and that surgery was urgently required.
Homeopathic, naturopathic and osteopathic treatment all proved relatively effective in alleviating congestion but never quite hit the mark in eradicating the chronic infections and subsequent perforations. Frustrated and desperate, I quietly resigned to opt for surgery.
We were introduced to Austin Burn-Jones and the Bowen Technique. Whilst on the urgent surgery waiting list, my son underwent several treatments with Austin: though remarkably simplistic, I immediately observed subtle changes in my son not only physically but emotionally and behaviourally as well.
Pre-surgery called for another hearing and pressure test. Results gave the most ‘normal’ test results my son has ever had, the surgery was cancelled and we were sent home!
Jumping into the sea without a care for ear plugs or infections excitingly liberating?
You Betchya!
