Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): About 25 years ago I suffered 2 slipped discs and was fitted with a corset and treated by a physiotherapist. My discs would dislodge about six times per year causing me great pain and necessitating bed rest. I started to have Bowen Therapy about 5 years ago and now my discs seldom dislodge. When they do a session of therapy realigns them quickly and without pain. Bowen moves are very gentle, and no spinal manipulation is required. Cathy has also treated me for sciatica which is related to this spinal injury. Bowen Therapy and Pilates exercises now keep me free from sciatica. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I started suffering from severe back and hip pain (later diagnosed by my doctor following a scan at the RUH Bath, as being chronic sciatica) around just under 11/2 years ago. As the pain intensified to such an extent that I couldn't cope with a normal life anymore, and after several trips to the doctor where I was prescribed various "painkillers", I came to the conclusion that nothing was really helping my condition – the drugs were merely alleviating the pain temporarily. At this point my neighbour recommended that I pay a visit to Janie Godfrey who practises the Bowen Technique. I admit I was sceptical at first, as I come from a long line of doctors in my family, and tend to "go by the book". After about 3 trips to see Janie however, my symptoms definitely improved. Several trips later and the difference was enormous. I am now able to hike (and even ski!) again and have huge faith in Janie and this technique. I still return to her as the treatment is so soothing and relaxing. Put simply, I have my life back again. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Just over two years ago I started having Bowen treatment as at the time I had sciatica. This was very painful and it made it difficult for me to walk, to socialise and generally enjoy going out. The symptoms seemed to go on for months. My doctor could only offer pain killers. I also tried a TENS machine. For about 30 years I have also had lower back problems – during this time I have been treated by Physio, Chiropractors and Osteopaths. I also tried these with this period of sciatica with no effect. A friend in North London who had severe back problems improved with Bowen Treatment and told me to find a local Bowen therapist. After a few treatments my sciatica was gone. I now have treatment every 5/6 weeks and my back problems have been kept under control. I have never had such a long period with freedom from back problems. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I first came to see Austin Burn-Jones about a year ago because I was in pain with sciatica that I had had for several months. The GP didn't seem to be able to offer me much help. I should also explain that I have a double curvature of the spine (scoliosis). I have had this most of my life, I am now almost 75! At first I had treatment every two weeks, then the time between visits was gradually extended. At the moment I see him about every six weeks. His treatment has certainly made a difference. The sciatica has gone completely. I am standing up straighter and also I can now lie flat on my back. No way could I do this before Austin's work on my back! Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): In 2007 I woke one morning to the most excruciating pain in my left leg. My GP and A & E at the hospital prescribed strong painkillers but they barely touched the pain so eventually my GP prescribed morphine. This was helpful short term but unpleasant side effects make me seek help from the Natural Health Centre at Totnes were Bowen Therapy was recommended. My first session reduced the pain and my need for vast amounts of painkillers. Subsequent sessions removed my need to walk with a stick and eventually I was off the painkillers completely. The sharp, painful twinges in my left leg had turned to numbness and eventually that vanished too. Reference:

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:
