What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Back and shoulder pain Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Having spent years struggling with pain in my lower back and shoulders, I decided to try Bowen therapy. I had tried other methods but to no avail, the pain always returned. This was not the case with Bowen. Jo has such a lovely calm and caring manner which meant that I was immediately at ease. She described the process clearly making sure I was comfortable at each stage. I left each session feeling a sense of positivity and serenity that I had not felt for years, not only physically but also mentally. Jo is a miracle worker. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Jo for giving me back the ability to live my life pain free. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Lower back pain Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have struggled with lower back pain and debilitating spasms for 20 years. I was sceptical because Bowen is far removed from my usual chiropractor's approach. However, after treatment my back was feeling much freer and less vulnerable to sudden movements which historically would have triggered a spasm. A few months on after my Bowen sessions with Jo, I can still state that my back is "holding" and feels free from its historic pain. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Lower back and neck problems Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I am a 44 yr old female who has had horses for the last 20+ years. I have had lower back problems for about the last 12 years and neck problems for 4 to 5 years previous to this. I first experienced sciatic pain in 2005 and was referred to the countess of Chester to see the consultant and have an MRI scan, this showed compression of the vertebrae causing the sciatic nerve to be trapped. This lasted a total of 24 weeks before the pain started to ease during this time I was taking a vast amount of tramadol pain killers just to get through the day. In 2008 the pain came back even worse this time, once more I was referred to the countess of Chester hospital, where I had another MRI scan. This showed severe nerve damage caused by compressed vertebrae it was decided that I would have surgery to release and try to repair the nerve and to shave of some of the bone which was causing the nerve to become trapped. This went ahead in July 2009 an hour before my op the surgeon dropped the chance of success from 85% to 65% after a further study of the scan. After 3 months recovery all seemed to be going well and I returned to work and riding in the October 2009. All seemed fine until the end of January 2010 when I woke in the middle of the night in more pain than I had ever felt. I went to see my GP who immediately referred me back to the countess of Chester and gave me back all my pain killers and more. At this point I was taking 8 tramadol, 8 paracetomol, 3 gabapentin, 2 naproxen and an anti sickness tablet daily. I had yet another MRI scan at this point I decided to try Bowen therapy. I had experienced Bowen with one of my horses. My first session an amazing experience and I remember thinking well if it doesn't work at least it has sent me somewhere wonderful for 40 mins. After my first session I felt tired and just needed to sleep. I had weekly sessions which lasted approx 40 mins each and it was amazing after the first 3 sessions I was down to half a tablet a day. 3 weeks after my Bowen started I had to go and see the consultant for my MRI results, he couldn't believe how good I felt and how I had no major pain. He discharged me telling me to continue doing what I was doing. I avoided more surgery. He did acknowledge that Bowen therapy was one of the therapies which often helped back problems. I had regular Bowen until Oct 2010 all has been great I have had the odd twinge and I'm not completely pain free but I have the same level of pain that I had on 22 tablets a day, I feel better about myself, I'm able to do more active tasks and I'm in full control of my brain which I wasn't when on the tablets. I also suffered mild I.B.S, period pain carpal tunnel and sinus trouble all of these have been helped by Bowen. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Lower Back Pain, Frozen shoulder Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): As Bowen has cured 25 years of Back Pain and subsequently dealt with a Frozen Shoulder, it is high time I said "thank you". I have to confess that when I first came to see Austin I was sceptical. The Back Pain, from playing cricket and rugby as a young man, was something others had tried to cure and that I had grown accustomed to. The process of analysis Austin took me through surprised me, as he successfully diagnosed the seat of former sports injuries, just by looking at my posture and movement. The process of manipulation and subsequent cure was much gentler than I had expected, although at each session I felt very aware that my body had changed. The process of discovering that cure had happened was both pleasant and surprising. Firstly my golf improved and some weeks after having Bowen Therapy it slowly dawned on me that I had no pain. I still have no pain some two years after back manipulation, and 6 months after treatment for Frozen Shoulder. I have also recommended Austin to my friends, family, clients and colleagues. He has surprised them just as pleasantly and successfully. Reference:
