Review from Mark S.
Alameda, CA
Kevin is a great healer. I've been using Kevin's services for more than a year now. Since I use my body in my work I frequently have issues with misallignments in my back or legs and feet. Kevin has been great to work with. He has a very calm and precise way of working, using Bowen and other modalities that are so effective yet surprisingly subtle. Kevin also helps with giving exercises to help me reallign myself by retraining my body and strengthening key areas. I highly recommend Kevin Minney if you are in physical discomfort from misalignment. His healing is fast and very effective!

Review from Danger A.

Kevin is a GODSEND! My boyfriend woke up with his hip completely out, he could barely walk, Kevin took him that day and fixed him!
I've had Bowen treatments for my knees, colds, and many other chronic issues - I'm always amazed at how well it works in such a short time.
Kevin explains all the body mechanics and gives you exercises to do at home to strengthen problem areas - I'm so grateful to Kevin for helping me and my family! -

Here's a quick rundown of how Kevin has helped me.
1994--Back spasm while tying kid's shoe. Yes, seriously. Completely laid out for days. Doctor refers to physical therapy. Go to 10 or so sessions, pretty useless.
1994-1997--On and off episodes, plus limited range of motion and general fear of when the next "big one" will strike. Orthopedists are consulted, and more physical therapy applied; not very useful.
1997--Screaming in pain, am transported to Kevin's office. Gentle manipulation. Spasm stops, pain begins to subside. I think I spent 8-10 sessions with Kevin over the next several months. He analyzes my issues (not the disc problems the doctors feared but never really investigated, just a particular kind of reoccuring misalignment, mainly due to my sedentary job), re-aligns and "re-teaches" my muscles to get back in the right place, and sends me off with a recommendation to do Pilates for some core strength work. It helps immensely.
Here's what I've done after working with Kevin: skiing, long-distance biking, backpacking, yoga, and most important to me, I've made a return to the martial art of aikido. I'm 52 years old now, and I'm actually getting better at all of those activities--mainly as a result of the confidence I now have after working with Kevin. It's no longer a mystery about what is going on with my back--though it can be very painful, it's just a matter of mechanics, and I have the information and techniques to keep things lined up right.
I occasionally need a little tune-up, like I did today (after sitting in a very contorted position days ago, which had the expected effect of locking my pelvis in the wrong position), and as usual, I walk in all hunched over and walk out standing up straight and feeling much better.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but I really can't recommend Kevin highly enough. Too bad Yelp only has 5 stars. -
Review from Chrissy C.

I went to Kevin a few months ago when my back and neck seemed to be out of whack. I had limited mobility and pain. I don't completely understand what he did but a few gentle movements later he had me turning my neck comfortably and pain free. He's awesome. He also has a healing night once a month at Rythmix that I've attended. I highly recommend it and him! :)

Review from Karin H.

Kevin is fantastic. He's been my Bowen teacher for several years and is a gifted, wonderful instructor. On top of that, he is, by far, the most gifted healer I have ever had the pleasure to work with. If you aren't familiar with Bowen, and you are in pain, call Kevin and talk to him about what he can do for you. It's a great modality, and Kevin has many other modalities he uses as well, that will most likely bring you pain relief very quickly.
Every time I have an issue, I go see Kevin. My pain goes away and I feel better instantly. He's even been helping me get rid of a big bunion on my foot!
He's simply the best! -
Review from Pam M.
Alamo, CA
I saw Kevin Minney about 8 yrs ago after many different dr's had tried many things. Drugs and Physical Theraphy did not help. I had injured my hands while cooking for a living and thought I would always be in pain. I met Kevin at a Whole Foods health fair and he touched me and instantly I was in relief....He is very knowledgeable and knows the Bowen Pain Relief method that healed me from my 10 yrs of pain..I would highly recommend his magical hands to anyone with constant pain. It took only 5 or 6 appointments for me to be out of pain for 8 yrs now!

Review from Eve A.
El Cerrito, CA
I have ongoing knee problems afer having mine rebuilt by the US Navy 40 years ago. Kevin Minney is my number one go-to choice for my physical health needs. He has mastered multiple techniques (or schools of bodywork). So he pulls out just the right teatments from his repertoire to help relieve the strain of being off-kilter or even an arthritis flare up. After all these years, it still amazes me how much relief I get from Kevin's elegant bodywork, movements and advice.
I can walk today without pain drugs because Kevin keeps me in tune! -
Review from Catherine P.
Walnut Creek, CA
Kevin Minney is a miracle worker. After an automobile accident, and one year of chiropractic adjustment and massage, I was still in constant pain. Kevin addressed the issue with Bowen work and I was surprised to be pain free after the first treatment. He warned me that it would come back a couple of times, and it did but it only took three treatments for me to banish the pain forever. He teaches the body not the mind and that lead to an amazingly quick recovery!
