Kevin Minney

For almost 8 months of 2020, I was experiencing extreme nausea daily. I lost weight because I couldn't eat much without feeling like I was going to throw it up moments later. I literally felt sick all day and prescription meds caused too many negative side effects. I had about 10 sessions with Kevin so far and he cured my nausea - I got my appetite back. If I feel my nausea coming back, I know to immediately check in with Kevin.
The 2nd issue I had was with terrible pain specifically in the back of my head that radiated towards to the top of my head and caused a hot, tingling sensation in the top left quadrant of my head. The doctors suspected occipital neuralgia, or likely a pinched nerve around my neck. Imaging suggested as much. My body took a while to adapt to the changes provided with Kevin's touch, and it is still a work in progress, but I am so much better than when I first started seeing him. I wasn't able to lay flat on the backside of my head because it felt so uneven and the pain was too much, but he allowed me to sleep and lay comfortably on my head in all positions after these sessions. I am able to go about my day to day activities with almost no pain anymore. I am grateful I found him and will continue to see him as I still experience occasional tingling, but I am sure he'll fix me in no time.
I highly recommend buying a package with him.

I stumbled at Kevin by accident. I was looking for a orthopedist and thinking he was it I called. He told me he he is not orthopedist but could still help me with my then foot pain which I thought was due to improper insoles. I didn't even hope he can help my back problem but after short talk I wanted to give it a try after reading on the Bowen method. Have been already with Kevin for several sessions and the results are amazing. He helped me my foot in one session! My back, which was diagnosed with hyper mobility syndrome following an injury  with a problem at the 3rd rib  ligament is almost entirely gone and my spine feels so much more aligned and stronger and at the moment is probably at its best even before the injury. He also helped me with some lymph drainage issues and the small routine practices he gives, when concentrated on, can go a long way. I highly recommend his therapy. It is so much more valuable than any other treatment I have been to. I wish him a long a prosperous business and I am glad he is out there.

I have had lots of miraculous body healing with Kevin.  A sacro-iliac joint issue that I had been thinking was permanent within a couple treatments didn't bother me-well maybe a little here and there, but like 15 times less than before.  It seems during treatment that this would not necessarily happen, as can feel like not much being done, but can't argue with results.

You can see my previous reviews elsewhere on this page, and find out more about how Kevin was able to take a 50-something guy near-immobilized with back spasms, and open up his life to all kinds of pain-free activities, most especially the martial art of aikido.  For many years now, Kevin is the person I go to when my body needs to heal and needs help to get started. My latest visit was prompted by a shoulder injury that lingered for a couple of weeks. As always, Kevin employs the minimum amount of tweakage for the maximum effect. I'm still always surprised that in Kevin's practice, he doesn't "do" much, but he sets the stage for my body to realign and begin to heal. My shoulder felt a bit better directly after the 2 sessions we just completed, and now, a few days later, I can feel the healing in earnest--my range of motion and strength are almost back to normal. So sometimes it takes awhile. The unexpectedly good news is that Kevin was also able to (instantly) relieve cramps and spasms I was having in my left hand, adjust my left knee so the slight twinge I was feeling has now gone away, and was able to release a huge amount of tension in a large scar I have due to a kidney operation when I was 7 years old. 56 years of low-level anxiety melted away in just a few minutes of gentle treatment. So, as has happened before, I visit Kevin for an acute injury, and end up with a bunch of other long-term issues addressed as well.

I highly recommend you see Kevin if you are experiencing any aches and pains. Anything.

I have spent more than a decade putting my body through a ridiculous amount of stress as a professional triathlete and now as an ultra runner. Over the last decade I built up a laundry list of aches, pains, and issue. No matter who I saw I was always racing and training with some issues still to content with.

Since seeing Kevin for about two months now I can say, for the first time in over a decade, that everything I've been dealing with over the years is resolved. He's worked with me to pinpoint every reason for my pain and discomfort and has alleviated all the problems I've experienced over the years. He's found problems I've not even told him about. He is worth a visit.

I'm so grateful for my session with Kevin Minney (Alameda, CA) because I actually walked out feeling excited and energized. I was literally dancing my way to the car: I had traveled nearly two hours to get this Viola work for my body and it was completely worth it, and knowing his personal fight and progress with injury and pain made it clear he's the man to help me feel safer and sounder in my body.

Kevin opened my right shoulder's range of motion by what seems like 5 inches in the first two minutes. Then my hips, which had been locking up tighter and tighter for months even though I've been mobilizing, exercising, and getting chiropractor help, were able to stretch way farther with reduced pain. Then the deeper work he did on the root causes of my body's pain were immediately surprising, gratifying and full of relief.

It's three days later and my body is continuing to change and improve. I felt better walking out than I did walking in, and look forward to allowing my body to develop with less pain and more freedom instead of disappointed. Thank you Kevin!

* Note of transparency - I've been in the fitness, healing and corrective exercise field since 2005 and have tried many modalities. Receiving the benefits of subtle work like Kevin's requires that you be specifically ready to feel better. It helps if you're able to focus on what's right and not just what's wrong. If you're not truly asking to feel better, your unconscious will find a way to screw it up. I was asking and ready to receive.

Awesome guy. Wise, knowledgeable, always made me feel better. He helped me with my low back pain. Highly recommended.

I have seen Kevin several times. Previously for back pain and this last time my forearms were killing. Between working out and picking up my daughter constantly, I was feeling weakness and pain - beyond my understanding. Pain meds or anti inflammatory creams were not doing anything. Even acupuncture was barely helping. I saw Kevin once and that was it! Resolved!

His technique may be a bit unconventional- he practically doesn't even touch you - just slightly on the specific points needed to reset your body and brain. So, throughout the visit, one may not understand how that slight touch would do anything but he knows what he is doing and it has immense power.

Since I was there, I figured I would also ask about my inability to sleep well. Guess what? That was also fixed.  

You have to believe on the power of your body to heal itself, or the ability that it has to corroborate to the healing. Kevin does the rest!.

This chap knows his stuff, and is surprisingly happy to blend various schools and teachings into a holistic appraisal of your body. His first session with me went well, and I have high hopes that he can help me more with my back and hip and ankle problems

My husband and child have had positive experiences of being worked on by Kevin. I find the booking experience, Kevin's practices, and his presence all wonderful. He is dedicated to the path and pays attention to his work.
