Body Balancing ClinicWoman, Aged 32, Migraines, High blood pressure
I was suffering 5 - 6 severe migraines a week, my blood pressure was very high and I was taking medication to control it. I was feeling extremely run down and under a huge amount of pressure in my job so I was not sleeping through the night at all and was suffering mood swings!. My complexion was very red and blotchy too. Clare asked me to be a case study in 2005 for The Bowen Technique, explaining that there had ben a national research programme on the Bowen Technique and Migraines and she may be able to help. I agreed to have 3 treatments initially. Following the first treatment I felt very calm, almost dopey and when I got home, I slept and slept and slept!!. This was amazing for me and I could not wait to see whether anything else would happen. During the next week I had only 1 migraine and that was not a severe one. Again, I was amazed, I just felt so much better in myself and the sleeping was still good too!. In the subsequent two treatments Clare worked on my lymphatic drainage and respiratory function and talked to me about lifestyle changes I could consider to help improve my general well being. I have improved my water intake, reduced my caffeine levels and am actively giving up smoking. I have not felt this good in a number of years and I have even been able to come off my blood pressure medication as that has dropped dramatically since having Bowen. I think Bowen is an amazing therapy. To be relatively free from the pain of migraine on a daily basis means so much to me. I have Bowen regularly now to maintain my well being and keep my stress levels low as I still work in a highly pressured job. My skin has improved a lot too. I would say to anyone, "Try it, you may just be amazed!".
