Body Balancing ClinicWoman, Aged 49, prolapsed disc
For 20 years I've had a problem with my back. And over 30 years of headaches that last a number of days. I've learnt how to live with them - the chiropractor sorts my back and I go to bed until my head feels better. I was looking for something that would stop these things happening so that I didn't have to "live with them".
I heard about the Bowen Technique from Clare during a Wellbeing initiative at my work. When I had my next bout of backache accompanied by a neck problem, I decided to give it a go. This was May 2007.
Now, I can't say "I'm cured" because it's too soon. What I can say is that my appointments with Clare were a lovely, relaxing experience. I came away from each session with a sense of calm and feeling good throughout. After 3 sessions, my back and neck were no longer a problem. And I've not had a headache that's sent me to bed since.
As an extra, unexpected but very welcome bonus, Clare worked on my hayfever - something else I've "lived with" for over 30 years. I know it's not been a high pollen count this year, but I haven't taken a single tablet. Actually not quite true - I took a couple in France for the mosquito bites - didn't expect Clare to sort those!
