Pain

FC is a very tall (6'2") nursery nurse who bends and crouches to work with tiny people and furniture all day long. Pain had been present for 2 - 3 years. MRI scans had not revealed any cause and physiotherapy had not improved the condition. After the first Bowen treatment 'FC' said "it is 99% better than it  was". After three treatments the pains had completely gone and the resolution holding.

MC worked long shifts in a manual job.  MC's neck and shoulders had burnt with pain for years but now debilitating headaches started to come on at work almost every day. MC was getting so many headaches that it was preventing him from attending work. After 2 Bowen treatments MC was back at work every day, and after the third treatment he reported that not only had his headaches totally gone but his neck and shoulders were freer and more comfortable than they had been for years.

FC was a long term migraine sufferer. She had seen hospital consultants, dieticians, a chiropractor, and was on migraine medication. Nothing had worked.

Bowen treatment revealed trapped tissues at the top of the neck ,and limited rotation in the neck generally.  FC had also been experiencing pins and needles in her arms.

After 1 treatment FC could turn her head better, had no migraines, and her upper body felt better. After 3 treatments, still no migraines, though stress threatened headaches now and then. After 3 more treatments FC felt calmer and was coping better with situations, and had no headache symptoms at all.

'FC' had a long history of over work, stress and recurring back pain, and over the previous 8 years had taken long frustrating periods of time off work to recuperate. 'FC' had sought other treatments but the problem kept recurring. 'FC' presented one painful night with a slipped disc. 'FC' not wanting to go to hospital and was carried into the treatment room. 'FC' could not take any weight on her feet and was in agony. In the first treatment Shiatsu was used to stabilise 'FC's back and to calm her fear and panic. Two days later 'FC' walked (gingerly) in for her second appointment. We used Bowen on this and three further treatments to stabilise her back fully. The back condition did not recur. 'FC' now comes for treatment every few months simply because it makes her feel good.

MC was unable to put his weight on his right foot and was in severe pain from the buttock right down the leg. MC was extremely tense and tight, spending long hours for most days driving a car. After one treatment MC's body relaxed significantly. By the third treatment he was virtually pain free and was able to drive with little or no discomfort.

FC, a student, presented with pain in the left side of her pelvis and coccyx. Periods were heavy and painful. Treatment revealed that the left side of FC’s pelvis was heavily congested in the soft tissues and treatment aimed to clear this stagnation and ease tension from the whole pelvic girdle. After the first Bowen treatment FC’s left leg was in pain, especially along the fracture she received 12 years earlier. Two further treatments relieved this pain and freed the pelvic congestion. FC’s periods calmed, and she is now without any pain.

MC arrived with a frozen shoulder that had restricted his natural arm movements to less than 20% normal. The shoulder was exceedingly painful to lie on and as an active man keen on amateur dramatics, it was making life difficult. MC was treated 3 times after which the shoulder had returned to 100% range of movement with no further pain.

NB: Not all frozen shoulders are so keen to mend. Some are more fragile or stem from deeper imbalances, or continuing strain, and take longer treatment support and careful management to mend.

FC was a long term migraine sufferer. She had seen hospital consultants, dieticians, a chiropractor, and was on migraine medication. Nothing had worked.

After 3 more treatments FC felt calmer and was coping better with situations, and had no headache symptoms at all.

FC was knocked down by a car in the road, her leg had been totally broken and flesh torn. Weeks after extensive surgery to pin and 'frame support' the tibia and fibula FC was presenting extreme pain in the bones with little or no bone repair. Acupressure and Moxibustion was applied weekly over 6 weeks. FC had instant pain relief after the first treatment. The hospital reported a striking change in bone growth and healing after  2 treatments. A further 3 treatments were given to support complete healing.

I have suffered with back pain and an arthritic left knee for probably 10 years and have found Bowen Therapy with Jen extremely helpful. I have been able to avoid surgery on my knee because of regular Bowen treatment. From my own experience I highly recommend it.
