Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Way back in November 2005 I was in constant pain and was diagnosed with significant osteoarthritis in my right hip and informed by my GP that I would eventually need a hip replacement. After prescribing pain killers to help me on a day to day basis this was his duty finished. Having always been very fit and active I found it extremely frustrating. My immediate family could sense this constant pain, frustration and discomfort so were encouraging me to forget the NHS and my GP and pay for a private hip replacement operation. Although I was not happy to take the prescribed pain killers everyday I was also not happy to undergo surgery. At this stage my son-in-law introduced me to The Bowen Technique and ultimately to Clare. He himself continues to experience relief from this therapy after suffering a permanent back injury several years ago. Given that my initial symptoms were so acute I was amazed that the first session of Bowen gave immediate relief and after a few sessions, some ups and downs on the way, I am now walking pain free. Clare has been a constant source of inspiration, information and advice which has enabled me to retain a positive approach to the alternative of drugs and the surgeon's knife. I am really pleased that I stayed with it and now feel healthier, happier and more positive than I have done for several months. Reference:
