6 weeks post knee surgery a client hobbled in.

The knee was still sore and extremely sensitive to touch in the areas of the surgery incisions.

Understandably, there was also some corresponding lower back pain due to the imbalances created from limping.

She was over the moon with the result, walking out with no pain or limp.

Furthermore, she was able to rub her knee firmly without discomfort following the gentle scar tissue release work that I applied.

Her smile and the look of disbelief on her face was priceless when she got up and realised there was no pain.

It’s what keeps me loving my work 😀

An elderly client knocked on my clinic door a few days after having treatment.

Excitedly, (and with disbelief) she said:
“ That stuff you did with my feet seems to have worked. That constant dull ache in my back has gone.”

Although previous treatments had helped her chronic back issue, there was still some lingering discomfort that she put down to “old age.” Which is understandable, as it’s a problem she’s suffered for many years.

Addressing the feet using AMT muscle testing
at the end of her most recent treatment immediately took the lingering lower back pain away completely.

I still find it fascinating how the feet, knees, pelvis and lower back affect each other.🤔😊

I saw a client recently some months after a hip replacement.

He was ecstatic with the surgery outcome, which had taken away the extreme pain he’d been suffering for years.

Although his balance had been feeling off since the surgery and there was still notable muscular tension and discomfort.

Posturally, his body had a forward lean and pulled to one side and there was an obvious elevation of one hip when standing and walking.

Following the gentle soft tissue treatment to align his pelvic bones and other structures, he remarked “ I feel taller and more balanced, I feel my feet have more connection to the ground.”

Furthermore, the muscular discomfort and tension through the hip had dissipated and the limp had drastically reduced. He walked out a lot straighter and without the sway he walked in with.

To cut a long story short, this gentle therapy can often help post hip replacement surgery (or any surgery for that matter). 😊

A new client returned for a follow up treatment for her troublesome back.

During the treatment she was experiencing pain in her shoulder.

“Oh that would be coming from my b**g elbow”.

She then told me about the elbow injury she suffered as a 10 year old.

Now aged in her 50’s she has always suffered varying degrees of pain in that arm and shoulder. She can only partially bend the elbow and can only just touch her face with her fingertips.

We decided to do something for the affected arm.

Using kinesiology based assessments I addressed the wrist and elbow joints, as well as some of the unbalanced muscles in the arm and shoulder.

At the end of treatment I had my client test her elbow.

She immediately reached for her face and began rubbing her palm on her face and neck.

I won’t repeat the blasphemous word she used, but she also quipped that she could now apply her face cream with both hands.

I’m not sure who got a bigger surprise, my client or me.

Admittedly it’s still not flexing as well as the good elbow, but a promising improvement after 40 plus years.

It’s exciting work 😀🙏

“Do you treat animals as well ?”

No I don’t, but my wife Dearne does.

This is a frequent question I get asked regarding the 2nd sign at the front of the clinic.

Some Bowen therapists treat animals and people, but I choose to stick with the 2 legged variety.

The qualification to treat animals is a completely different course. Different anatomy and assessments compared with treating humans.

Yes, a Bowen move on an animal might have a positive affect when applied by someone untrained, but the chance of a favourable treatment outcome is much more likely when it’s performed by a qualified practitioner.

It’s important to maintain the integrity of the animal modality.

And animals (particularly dogs, cats and horses) respond well to the gentle nature of Bowen.

Dearne is also trained in MSTR (animal McLoughlin scar tissue release) Scars often play a role in musculoskeletal dysfunction, pain and restricted movement in animals as well. And as with people, scars are often overlooked.

I’d argue that she has a more challenging job than I do because animals can’t tell you where it hurts or when it feels better.

It relies on a keen eye, fine palpation (and feedback from the animal)

And of course observations and feedback from the animal’s owner following treatment.

I’m happy to stay in my lane, as most of my clients don’t bite, kick or scratch 😜

If you’re curious as to how this may help your pet, feel free to message or call Dearne, or have a look at her FB page 😊

These are some of the of the places where most of my advertising takes place.

I’m reflecting on my past working week and the number of people I’ve been able to help with their pain.

Including someone who knocked on my door late on Friday afternoon with severe back pain. She was only wanting to make an appointment for the following week, but sensing the urgency, I was able to help her there and then.

I take pride in my work and I very much appreciate it when my clients recommend me to their family, friends and work colleagues.🙏

A client returned 6 months after his first treatment.

“You fixed my back pain, I’ve been telling everyone about it.”

Me……”But didn’t you come to me with sore knees ? I didn’t even record that you had back pain when you saw me.”

Him. “I was sore all over, but my back was great after.”

It’s just another example of how Bowen addresses the whole body.

And the knees, hips and back are all connected !

Scar Tissue Release.

I treated a clients scar recently with MSTR. (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release)

She had surgery over 6 months ago and was experiencing pain and tension in the scar itself and pain in other areas in the vicinty.

There were complications during surgery and the scar was quite irregular and hardened.

Immediately after I applied this gentle technique the scar had softened almost to the same extent as the surrounding tissue and my client experienced significant pain relief.

When she returned to see her specialist some weeks later there was reportedly an element of disbelief that the tissue had softened to such an extent since her last consultation a month earlier.

The beauty of MSTR is that the improvements achieved with each treatment tend to be permanent, as the structure of the previously tight and irregularly scar tissue does not return to how it was before treatment.

It’s another valuable tool I have at my disposal to help my clients.
