Finding a Scenar therapistFinding a Scenar therapist

Depending on where you live, this may not be easy, but it's worth the effort. In the end, the most important considerations are:

Finding one near you. If you can't find someone near enough to you, email or call (see Contact) for a referral.

Depending on what condition you have, and type of Scenar treatment you need, acquiring your own device is sometimes an easier and cheaper option, so I'm also happy to give you advice on what route to take.

Who they trained with, their depth of experience, and success rate. There are hundreds of people in the U.K. trained in basic Scenar therapy, but many have simply tagged on Scenar beginners level to other complementary therapies, and not spent the considerable time needed to master it. This may be especially true if they're well qualified in other areas.

Here's one example. One of my clients previously had 10 days of intensive twice-daily Scenar from a physiotherapist at one of Europe's top 10 football clubs. Two months later, when I started treatment, the effects of Scenar were wearing off. The therapist had used only the most rudimentary of techniques, with almost no variation, and then (I learned later) capped it off with cortisone injections. Scenar training teaches that while cortisone may give short-term superficial pain relief, it inhibits the effects of other therapies, which also means that we're wasting our clients' money if we treat them with Scenar less than three months after they've had the cortisone.

Regardless of whether they're an acupuncturist, chiropractor, energy medicine therapist, osteopath or physiotherapist, what decides whether a therapist knows how to use a Scenar properly is good training and lots of experience.

Having said this, Scenar is such a gentle, safe and effective therapy, that even if you only find a relative beginner, there's every chance (depending on your condition) that they'll produce a positive change, at least temporarily.

Don Elwick - Managing Director, Brighton Media Centre (Cracked Ribs)

"December 21st, 2009, I went out running, slipped on some ice, and fell heavily on my back. A nurse and a doctor both confirmed I had two or three cracked ribs. I spent the next week hardly sleeping due to the painDecember 29th, I saw Paul Lowe for a Scenar treatment, and that night I slept properly again. Over the next few days, almost all the pain had gone, and the ribs were back to normal. I had Scenar again and on January 4th, the doctor found it hard to believe there was nothing left from the accident - broken ribs normally take at least 6 weeks to heal."

Venus Villa, First Artist, The English National Ballet, London (Leg injury)

"I had a very painful injury to my leg (compartment syndrome), and I tried several therapies. Scenar was the best for really deep healing, even when I was dancing for seven hours a day. Thank you Paul."

Marco Crivello, Artist, Lewes, Sussex (Shoulder + Back Pain)

"I had acute pain in my right shoulder. I tried osteopathy and cranio-sacral over several weeks, but with negligible results. Paul treated me with Scenar daily for four days, and by the end I was pain-free. On another occasion, I was in acute pain months after Achilles tendon surgery -- after one treatment from Paul, the pain went away. I also threw my back out twice. Each time, one Scenar treatment was enough to put it back to normal."

Stephane Davies-Arai, Sculptor, Lewes, Sussex (Sciatica)

"I was rushed to hospital on three occasions and given four strong painkillers including morphine. I finally collapsed at work in agony, unable to walk. After 10 treatments with Paul, I was able to stop the painkillers and drive 80 miles to a work event. Six months on, I'm still pain free."

Tim Cornwall - Private Hire Driver, Herstmonceaux, Sussex (Slipped Disc)

"I've had hip and lower back problems for over 30 years. This episode was the worst I've had for two years: I could hardly walk or drive and I had to give work away. Until now, I'd go to the chiropractor for several treatments and take at least three weeks to recover. With Paul it took four days and four Scenar treatments to get back to normal. On day 1, I could barely walk. On day 3, I took the dog for a one-hour walk."

John Hayward - Landscaper, Westham, Sussex (Neck + Shoulder Pain, Arm/hand nerve damage)

"The pain had reached levels that stopped my physical workload. The diagnosis was nerve compression due to an injury to the C5/6/7 vertebrae. I now faced the prospect of surgery to install metal inserts... After four Scenar treatments, I was able to stop the painkillers... After three months and 10 treatments, I can also report... ability to sleep on my side again, write and sign my signature fluently again, turn my head fully to the right and left... Six months later, I'm doing heavy physical work again as part of my job, and despite needing occasional top-ups, I'm basically pain-free. Altogether, a phenomenal success."
