Testimonial: IT band (outerside of leg)
I was first made aware of Amanda and the benefits of Bowen Therapy through a family member who had been receiving treatment regularly to maintain her health and wellbeing.
I then very recently, following a work accident, decided to seek help from Amanda for what I thought would be a complimentary treatment along side more traditional physio therapy, which wasn't giving me much relief to my injured IT band.
At this point I was taking a combination of paracetamol and Ibuprofen around three times a day, and, also waking up most nights due to pain in my hip and sit bones.
Furthermore I found it difficult to walk without slightly limping, and was desperate to return to my hobbies of fell walking and resistance training.
During my initial telephone consultation with Amanda I found her to be extremely thorough in gathering as much information as possible regarding the circumstances of my injury and any medical diagnoses I had received.
The week following my first treatment session, improvements were already starting to make a difference to my daily activities, I had reduced the amount of painkillers needed, and started feeling much less pain and discomfort after standing most of the day at work and started, sleeping all night.
The following Saturday I completed an eleven mile walk requiring nothing more than a salt bath to ease any aches and pains.
I had another two sessions booked and after each my condition improved substantially to the point where I was able to return to my usual activity levels, all within a four week period, with no pain relief needed.
I am continuing to utilise Bowen Therapy every month or so to help maintain my health and have already recommended Amanda to friends suffering similar conditions to myself.
