"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."
