Man, Aged 40, Prolapsed disc in lower back
Following 10 years of back pain and having tried chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments I was becoming ever more disheartened by the lack of improvement to my back pain. I was at a very low point in 2005 where all feeling had been lost in my left leg from buttock to tips of toes and I was regularly having 'episodes' that were leaving me unable to move from the spot where I would collapse. I used to be a very active person and at this point the inability to move was causing severe frustation and I would probably have to admit I was feeling depressed about it all.
A recent MRI scan had showed a bulging/ prolapsed disc in my lumbar region and surgery had been mentioned by the specialist as a possibility further down the line if nothing helped.
I was encouraged to try The Bowen Technique through a friend and and I decided there was nothing more to be lost so I did.
Following my first treatment with Clare I noticed an improvement immediately to my pain levels. After 3 treatments I was able to report no noticeable pain in my back and that I felt I may be able to break myself back into exercising gently.
10 months on, I am now able to exercise in a local gym three times weekly, all feeling has returned to my left leg and I have had no recurrence of any 'episodes' whatsoever. I do get the odd twinge but that is usually self inflicted if I do too much heavy 'lifting', however, even then, it only takes one maintenance treatment to resolve that too. I would recommend Bowen as both a treatment for acute/ chronic conditions as well as a maintenance therapy to ensure everything remains as it should.
I am still amazed by the effect of such a gentle therapy. I have a new lease of life thanks to Bowen and Clare.
