Albert J LaShell Bowen Therapy

I culdn’t be more satisfied with the results so far! I am a month away from major back surgery and have been dealing with cramps over my ribs, pulled muscles in my neck and shoulder and spasms, Albert has made them all go away and managed to realign my legs to the same height in just 2 sessions! I have tried so many different therapies and I could tell this one was taking immediate effect by the way my body would tingle and respond to each point of pressure. Albert and his wife Beth Anne are some of the kindest people you’ll meet, like mr and mrs Clause! I adore them both and will continue to refer my friends in severe pain and also friends who just need to loosen up and feel better.
I will always appreciate Alberts help and healing in my time of desperation and just wish I could see him more often!
Their prices are made for most everyone to be able to afford and considering this man is at the top of his profession (training 70+% of all Bowen healers in the u. s) he could be charging an arm and a leg but wants to try to help as many people as he can, and that is a true sign of selflessness and someone committed to helping others. Go give it a shot!

I was in an auto wreck years ago and have had lingering structural issues. Whenever things go out of wack, he is the first person I call. He is always good about getting me in, usually the same day.
This isn’t a massage. It is magic and it always works. I feel fortunate to have this pioneer in the field of Bowen Therapy working in Sacramento. He’s also a really sweet guy on top of it all who only wants the best for all of his patients.

Not sure about Mr. Gee experience. I too have been to other Bowen offices. It is my experience with all Bowen therapists and all Chiropractors that they see multiple pts. at once and they leave the room for the body to «take» the adjustment — whether they have someone to chat with or not. If you read the orgin of Bowen I believe it was done that exact way.
I could not walk without discomfort after foot surgery (serious injury to both feet) and PT. It got to the point where my doctor prescribed using one of those walker things. I sure didn’t want to go that route. A friend suggested I make an appointment with Albert and boy am I glad I took that advice. It took a few treatments for me to walk without pain. I now walk without a cane or other device. Can I walk a 5k — no, but I can walk a mile without being in terrible pain — I’d call that much much better. I workout at a gym and am experiencing some arm pain — guess what? I’m going back Albert with great confidence he will stop the pain.
BTW Mr LaShell and his wife are very nice people.

Albert is fabulous. He worked on my back pain and helped a great deal. He is very gentle, and there is no pain during the treatment. I highly refer him!

Albert LaShell never disappoints. I have been seeing him off and on for 5 – 7 years. He without fail ALWAYS «fixes me up». Realigning my pelvis, balancing my body’s structure so I can dance, walk, exercise etc. In other words I can get on with and enjoy my life thanks to his expertise. He is extremely kind and knowledgable as his wife, Beth Ann. I would highly recommend Albert to anyone who is experiencing any type of back pain, foot pain, neck pain etc. My mother is now seeing Albert and reaping good results!!!

Albert LaShell helps me in so many ways. When the muscles in my back are all tensed up, my hips are hurting, my neck is throbbing and I have a terrible headache, Albert works on me and relieves pain and stress that would have continued through out the week. He relaxes my entire body, makes my headache go away, and makes my week really pleasant. I’ve had a badly injured back for years and after finding Albert, he has helped me tremendously. Albert has helped my Mom after a stroke, has helped her painful knees, and has also helped my Dad after crippling back injuries. He is a miracle worker to me! Many people have pain of some kind, and Albert can always help in some way. I strongly recommend going to see Albert and give him a five star rating. Thanks Albert!

Albert LaShell has been treating me on a regular basis for chronic pain after a routine hernia surgery. Albert is up to the challenge my case presents and refuses to surrender. Albert has abundant compassion and empathy.
I first met Albert in November 2007 after a third surgery failed to resolve my pain. I returned to Albert last year after having hernia mesh surgically removed. I am getting better, slow but sure. My family can see the difference.
Contrary to the other review on this site, Albert (and his website) make NO suggestion that Bowen Therapy is «massage» therapy. Part of the Bowen treatment is RELAXATION, which is why Albert leaves the treatment room for minutes at a time. There is ALWAYS relaxing music on in the background.
Albert is NOT a fraud. Fraudulent people cannot stay in business for 20+ years.
When almost every doctor (as well as countless specialists) have given up on me, Albert has stood by me to continue to help me regain my life after a «routine» surgery.
If you or someone you know is suffering and need help, please do not hesitate to contact Albert. In the 5+ years I’ve known he and his wife, they have shown nothing but compassion, care, empathy, and diligence while helping me.
Thank you, Albert.

Mr. LaShell seems personable and I would describe as a nice man. However, I consider his «treatment» a joke and I do believe him to be a fraud. I had Bowen therapy a couple of years ago with another provider, and was pleased with the treatment and results. I decided to find another provider closer to my home, and found Mr. LaShell’s office during a google search.
#1 oddity: His office has 3 or 4 rooms. He would have at least one other person (sometimes 2) in the office or treatment rooms at the same time. All room doors are wide open and you can see his clients sitting or lying on the beds. Not really a big deal since it’s a «fully clothed» treatment, but I thought it was a little strange.
#2 oddity: He spends about 1 or 2 minutes doing some kind of massge that was really mediocre. Then he leaves the room saying, «I’ll be back» and is gone for a good 10 minutes. That process repeats for the hour or hour and a half. I assumed he had to go work on his other clients, but the last time I was there, I can hear him chatting it up with his wife (the receptionist) about mundane things. That was my second visit and I decided it would be my last, so I just got up and left.
Yes, I did have two sessions. After the first one I thought his methods were odd but I figured I would give him the benefit of the doubt. But during the second session I realized how foolish it was for me to return. During that session I just got up to leave (while he was chatting with his wife). I told him I wasn’t getting anything out of the ‘treatment’ and I offered to pay. He said I could just leave. Which I did.
I am no expert in massage therapy, but I have had many types of massage treatments including Bowen, and I found Mr. LaShells methods laughable. I understand he teaches this method to others. Yikes !!
