What Our Patients Say

I have been seeing Dr. Mowry for a few months now and feel fantastic. I feel refreshed, energized, and so alive. Dr. Mowry is like a little a piece of heaven.

Prior to Dr. Mowry I tried many Physical Therapists.  I had weeks of Physical Therapy with minimal results and an actual resultant exacerbation of pain.  I personally have never found anybody in the Physical Therapy profession with a success rate for fibromyalgia even close to what I have experienced with Dr. Mowry.   It is not only Kristin's knowledge, but also her empathic nature and encouragement that makes the treatment complexly worthwhile.  I have been seeing her for two years and it has been a great experience in my life.  I feel truly fortunate to have her as my therapist and my friend.

I was hit head on by a drunk driver. I had several injuries and two surgeries. I went to Kristen for Manual Physical Therapy after being dissatisfied with traditional Physical Therapy. I truly believe without Kristin's help I would be permanently injured. I have full use of my arm now and if you looked at me you would have no idea I was ever in an accident. She is a true professional and a wonderful person. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone. She is one of a kind.

Dr. Mowry is so much more than a doctor, she's a healer. She thoughtfully chooses a treatment plan based on you, as an individual. You are not a number to her, or a file in her file drawer - you are a person she cares for and I guarantee you will feel this from treatment number one. I've seen many alternative therapists in many areas or practice, not everyone has the gift to heal as Dr. Mowry does. She's one in a million. I wouldn't put my health and well being in anyone else's hands.

From the moment you walk into Dr. Kristin Mowry's office, you will feel right at home.  You are immediately put at ease by her welcoming and warm personality.  She is full of positive energy and is always there to greet you with a big smile.  It is amazing to see how her approach on energy medicine and nutrition will impact your life, for the better. You will learn more about your body and how it reacts to food, toxins, the power of positive thinking, and the list goes on. Dr. Mowry is truly a gift.

Dr. Mowry is great!  She was able to diagnose a simple problem that other doctors and labwork did not.  I am glad she is around to provide alternative and natural solutions for all types of issues.

After suffering a bad fall and getting little to no relief from doctors and physical therapy at other facilities, I was finally referred to The Healing and Wellness Center of Kent Island. Dr. Mowry was able to zoom in on my problems and help me. I tell her that her hands are truly healing hands. I love coming to this center because it is truly a “healing station”. This is a place where I find healing for the mind, body, and soul. I have and continue to recommend others to come to Dr. Kristin Mowry.

I have happily been Dr. Mowry’s patient for over three years. After living with persistent lower back pain for many years (as a result of gaining considerable weight during two pregnancies), with Dr. Mowry I finally found the person who was able to help relieve my chronic pain. My initial evaluation by Dr. Mowry was very thorough, and her initial and subsequent diagnosis considered me as a whole person, without focusing only on my symptoms. Treatment with Dr. Mowry has always been a delight. Her pleasant disposition and positive outlook are a welcome change to most medical environments and her staff is always welcoming and caring. During treatments with Dr. Mowry, focus is on my health and what I can do overall (exercises, nutrition, etc.) to improve my condition. My results have been so si gnificant for me that I am now participating in marathon events!

When I was 5 months pregnant with my first baby, I started having lower back pains due to my hips being unaligned. Dr. Mowry was able to realign as well as ease some of the common aches and pains caused by my growing belly. A little bit later on in pregnancy I developed migraines and plantar fasciitis. After treating both (very common) ailments, I decided to schedule weekly appointments to maintain my health and comfort. I just recently had my baby girl (#2), and of course Dr. Mowry was with me every step of the way! I owe a huge part of both my pregnancies being so enjoyable to Dr. Mowry!

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy

  • glass of waterThe average human loses between 3 and 6 liters of water on a typical day. One to two liters rushes out as urine, and another one-tenth liter in defecation. Water lost as vapor when you breathe could fill around 1 to 2 liter water bottles a day and even more in arid locations. Sweat fills up another liter on an average day, but that amount can reach 1 to 2 liters per hour in an intense workout.

    But if you're dehydrated, that super gulp won't give you the quick fix you dream of. The body can only absorb about 1 quart per hour. Drink plenty of clean and filtered water throughout your day, every day. How much? A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal 1/2 your body weight in ounces. For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
