Jon Burras

          "At age forty-five, after suffering with back pains for at least twenty years, I was diagnosed with severe Scoliosis. Several chiropractors told me that at my age there was no hope of reversing the curve in my spine, and all that I could hope for was to slow down the process to an eventual crippling condition.
          I started bodywork and an exercise program and saw some improvement. A few years ago a friend recommended me to Jon, and the results are just short of a miracle. I have no symptoms of the condition. I do still have a curve to my spine but Jon's work has improved the curve and totally eliminated the pain.
           I see Jon on a regular basis and have seen dramatic improvement to other parts of my body and general health as well. I would, and do, recommend Jon to anyone who would like to improve their physical condition."

          I have been working with Jon for some time now. When I first came to Jon I had just finished chemotherapy and surgery to remove several lymph glands in my right armpit. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer several months before. After the surgery I could not move my right arm above my shoulder. There was a significant amount of scar tissue that prevented this from happening.           
         After a couple of sessions with Jon I was not only able to move my arm above my head but I had full range of motion in the arm and shoulder again. In fact, my arm was much more open than before the surgery. I am very grateful to have found Jon. He has helped me not only with my arm but with other areas of my body as well. I wish my whole family would go see Jon.

          Jon Burras has been working on me for at least five years. Prior to Jon working on me I had been to six chiropractors and one masseuse. I was bent over from the waist with my left hip shifted to the left. After three treatments I could walk upright and Jon has worked on me ever since. Jon is a special person in our lives.

My name is Tracy Morse and I have been seeing Jon Burras since July 2003. When I first started seeing him I was in constant pain and discomfort from my head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back and hips. I had constant headaches, starting from the minute I woke up in the morning. I was taking 6-8 extra strength aspirin a day, every day.

My neck and shoulders and back were tight and locked up from years of stress and numerous accidents. I was in a plane crash in 1991 where I received significant burns throughout much of my body. My right arm was grafted all the way up to my right shoulder. Consequently. Every time I reached up or out for anything the scar tissue in the arm and shoulder pulled very badly on my back and shoulder muscles and I had severe spasming problems. If I reached too far for something my whole upper back would spasm so badly I couldn't move and sometimes I even couldn't breathe.

I have also had numerous feet surgeries on both feet as well as my left knee. My left foot has been fused and because it was in casts and boots etc. for so long the left leg has atrophied to almost half the size of my right leg. The left leg is also much weaker than the right and this has caused a lot of stress on my lower back and especially my left hip and sacrum area. My left hip and sacrum area started hurting very badly about a year ago whenever I would sleep on it. Within minutes my left hip would be burning and aching.

Since seeing Jon my pain and discomfort has been cut by 75%. He has given me more relief than I ever thought possible. His kindness, caring, compassion and dedication to his clients is nothing less than extraordinary. I have been to a few different massage therapists and they didn't come close to Jon's incredible knowledge and experience.

Every morning I wake up headache-free and every night when I am able to sleep good, I thank my lucky stars that I was fortunate enough to be referred to Jon. He has brought me more relief than all of the doctors and therapists that I have seen in the last few years. Thanks to Jon I am able to continue working and supporting myself and have a social life rather than going back on Disability.

"My work with Jon has enabled me to learn and grow on many levels. I appreciate the way he artfully weaves and integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual concepts in our time together. My work with Jon compliments my other healing and growth activities. Jon makes "suggestions" and I can choose to take advantage of them or not. He mirrors where I am, then gives me the opportunity to take a step that feels right for me on my path of self-discovery. He supports me in seeing if my perception of reality actually matches my reality. When we first started working together, I had very stiff joints and virtually life long back pain. Jon's explanation of pain as a messenger has helped me to listen to my body and give it what it needs. Even though I am past the age of fifty, my flexibility continues to increase. I treasure the gifts of Jon's work. Jon has taught me to breathe in ways that help me practice staying present in my body."
