Man, Aged 41, Back Pain
"I have had a number of back issues over the years usually as a result of some misguided belief that I am a sportsman or due to my general bad posture. Being 6' tall and sitting at computer terminal all day I have lots of opportunity to slouch! Normally I would hobble off to the masseur or chiropractor for some serious bone crunching or elbow in the glute to sort out my leg length. Whilst not unpleasant (well most of it), it did kind of feel like I'd done several rounds in the boxing ring. I also observed that it was a quarterly trip and not a permanent fix.
Needing treatment one day I wondered off to the health centre at work and noticed an advert for Bowen treatment by Clare. As I could get this at work I thought I would give it ago. I read all the leaflets and prepared for a session in the ring. However, my first appointment consisted of Clare listening to me for a good half hour and lots of note taking followed by an explanation of what was about to happen. When we finally got going I was very surprised by the lightness of touch and the 2 minute rest between moves. Clare kept telling me I was doing doing well. I was wondering if I was wasting my money. At the end of the treatment we booked a follow up appointment for a week later. Clare told me to stay off the booze for 24 hours and that I would probably feel better in 48 hours but might ache a bit in between. To my surprise I did ache a bit and felt a lot better in 48 hours and did not need to go back again.
Clare had a also told me that Bowen can be used to treat lots of different things. A friend of mine had really bad hay fever. This usually resulted in hydrocortisone injections in April so she could breath. However, following a couple of sessions with Clare she never needed the injections at all this year and her hay fever was barely noticeable!
I would recommend Clare and The Bowen Technique to anyone.
