Professional athletes are discovering that regular Bowen treatment enhances performance and reduces the incidence of injury.
An appointment will take around 45 minutes.Most work can be performed through light clothing or directly on the skin.
Three to four treatments, at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief. However, for chronic long term problems further treatments are recommended.
The first appointment will take approximately an hour. A structural assessment, details of injuries and medical history will be noted.
Restricted Shoulder
"I was incorrectly diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and just before being given Cortisone injections was diagnosed with a separated shoulder. I was in a lot of pain and unable to move my arm. Sleeping was uncomfortable and I was forced to sleep on my back as any movement or turning over caused me to shout out in pain. Being unable to lift my arm above my head meant I struggled with washing my hair and simple tasks such as taking off my clothes above my head and undoing my bra!! I was even struggling with the household chores of hoovering, polishing and wiping down surfaces as any stretching or reaching was so painful. The doctors were unable to offer any treatment/advice other than ‘it should heal itself, or if it is fully separated you will need surgery’.
My Dad had visited Karen after a friend recommended Bowen treatment to him and suggested after listening to all of my moaning that I went for some treatment.
I am a very sceptical person and couldn’t believe the results he claimed he had had after a couple of treatments but things were getting desperate so it was time to give something a go.
Well all I can say is, WOW!! After my first session I was able to wash my hair without wincing in pain, my shoulder had movement in it. After the third visit I had pretty much full movement and virtually no pain. I’ve been for sports massages before and lay there in pain as they tortuously manipulate areas of your body. Bowen treatment is nothing like that, it is gentle touching, nothing painful or uncomfortable and you come out with this wonderful feeling of well-being.
I also suffered from a bad back, which I had had for years, after standing watching my children play football I could hardly move. Karen treated this and now I can watch 90 mins of football without looking like a ninety year old trying to take muddy shoes off and get in the car!!!!
I would definitely recommend Bowen treatment; words can’t describe enough of how grateful I am of discovering it. Karen is the loveliest lady, she is so friendly with such a caring attitude and she puts you at ease from the very start.
