I have treated various complaints with Bowen all with a great responses. Here are a few samples: -
Hayfever disappears after treatment!
I worked on a two people last year both were suffering with symptoms of Hayfever. Watering eyes, running nose, itching in the mouth were some of the symptoms they had.
Summer was a nightmare for both of them they could not enjoy the nice weather at all. Neither of them had had previous complementary therapies and were not totally convinced that I could help.
After the first treatment it was reported
that the first persons eyes had dried up and was sleeping a lot better and the mother
felt slight relief.
After the second treatment this persons Hayfever had cleared and the patient 2 had a
lot more relief than the previous week.
After the fourth week patients 2 Hayfever had totally disappeared and she
was now enjoying the summer as everybody was.
Twelve months latter neither of them had not had any reoccurrences of the previous problems and we are waiting to see if a top up is necessary this year.
Polymyalgia disappears after four treatments.
Whilst still in training I was looking for case studies and this lady came forward again no previous complementary medicines were contemplated prior to my treatment. This lady had suffered with this condition for seven years, she could not walk more than 50 metres without feeling tired. Most of the time she ached. Her consultant estimated that this condition would last for two years.
On carrying out the first treatment I
noticed that all of the muscles seemed to be tense. During the next few
treatments I noticed that the muscles tone was getting looser and she was
feeling more relaxed. On the fourth treatment she said that she was decorating
her hall and had pulled up the carpets and removed all the wallpaper something
she could not even contemplate prior to treatment.
On my case study she she wrote "thank you for making me better ". What
more enthusiasm did I need to carry on with this therapy.
Pelvis tilted.
Patient 1
I saw a patient who had previous treatments with me suffered a crippling lower back / Pelvis pain. We checked her pelvis alignment and found that the right leg was longer by some 12 mm. On lying on her back and lifting the right leg as far as it would go it reached her forehead without any problem, on lifting the left leg we found that would no move more than ninety degrees without any discomfort.
After applying the Bowen Pelvis move with little discomfort to the patient I checked the leg lengths and they were level. I then proceeded to check the movement and the right legs movement had changed to go over her forehead. I checked the movement in the left leg and it similarly moved as much as the right leg. Neither the patient nor I could believe such a change had happened so quickly. She got up and proceeded to rotate her pelvis with not pain or discomfort at all.
Patient 2
I met a lady who had a lot of lower back problems and her pelvis had been out for about twelve years. I applied the pelvis move moving her leg down from the shoulder and keeping a element of traction on the leg I could feel it start moving and the leg seem to extend. It was so much that my first thought where that I felt it would keep going, the patient gave an ooh and felt the same thing. When she got up she felt a lot better. Three months latter she still had no re-occuance of this problem.
Sprained ankle
My son came down the slide in our garden and landed on the grass in tears, I asked him what was wrong he said "I've sprained my ankle" I made the necessary moves over the ankle and he ran off without a murmur.
It is difficult to know the limit of what the Bowen Technique can treat as I have treated my children with bruised fingers after trapping them in the door, aches and pains, fingers that have been bent back and cramp to name but a few.
I always get asked what can Bowen treat, well I don't know the full extent yet and maybe will never know.
It all depends on the cause of the problem, if it is due to skeletal problems as in the pelvis if tilted can put pressure on so many vital organs which due to the lack of space has a knock on effect to the rest of the bodies organs up to the diaphram thus giving stomach problems, reproductive problems through to breathing problems.
Broken limbs can be helped with Bowen the repair time seems to be reduced after a Bowen.
If it is muscular then aches, pains, strains, pull, tears etc
If it is lymphatic than the treatment can help.
I it is the nervous system then whilst carrying out a Bowen this tends so send an impulse up to the brain.
All I can say is try a Bowen, the worst case scenario is nothing - but most people gain relaxation through Bowen and I do not know anyone who feels they have not benefited in some way .
