How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: Approximately 12 sessions once a week and later twice per month. Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have been having problems with frozen shoulder and back pain. Nothing seemed to help until I began to see Christine Cahalin. Christine is a Bowen Technique therapist. With her treatment and advice, she has helped me to "defrost" my shoulder and sort out the back pain. The Bowen Technique seems particularly helpful to me as I have had previous similar problems with my other shoulder, which was successfully treated. At each session, Christine would carefully assess my health issues and during treatments she would review my progress. I would be happy to recommend Bowen Therapy to others.

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: A few twinges: painful SI joint pain brought on by landing awkwardly on a ski slope postural pain - stiff neck and shoulder occipital headaches primarily due to office work a clicking jaw from an injury in my teens How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: Reduced mobility and strength, unable to exercise Interrupted sleep Pain Tiredness What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: I am now exercising normally, shoulder mobility returned headaches have all but disappeared sleeping well tiredness has gone How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: I had 3 sessions a week apart, then a further 2 sessions 4-6 weeks apart Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had a shoulder impingement and soreness which was interrupting my sleep. I was also experiencing occipital headaches every other week which tended to last 3 days. Both were leaving me very tired, I had cut back on exercise as my back and shoulder was painful and I had reduced mobility. I found the sessions very effective, non invasive, and I would feel an improvement following each session. I am now exercising normally, my shoulder mobility slowly returned and the strength is building back up. The best thing is my headaches have all but disappeared, and when one threatens I know how to limit its duration and relax my head, shoulders and neck. I always recommend Bowen Therapy whenever anyone describes any muscular/skeletal issues they are having. I find it very effective, and also very relaxing, more relaxing than a traditional spa massage therapy! I would encourage anyone to try it for themselves.

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: I had lots of aches and pains in various parts of my body, particularly in my right shoulder, neck and right hip that physiotherapy wasn't able to address. However, the pain was not consistent, especially in my hip and seemed to move about. I was unable to sleep and felt constantly tired. How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: I had limited movement in my neck; due to the pain in my shoulder, I found household tasks and lifting difficult; the pain in my hip meant that I had trouble putting weight on my foot, so I could bend down but found it difficult to get back to a standing position, going down stairs became worrying, as my leg would give way and sitting and walking were also painful at times. What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: My neck moves easily now; my shoulders are pain free and I have very few instances of not being able to stand and no problem descending stairs. The pain in my hip is very much reduced and I have learnt which movements are likely to bring it on. In addition, my jaw is out of line and had started to crack loudly but this was addressed and I can now open my mouth wide without this happening. How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: I had 4 sessions on a weekly basis, 3 fortnightly and 2 on a monthly basis, which I am keen to continue for a while longer. Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Bowen Therapy has helped me turn my life around. It is delivered in a very calming environment and atmosphere and, being based on deep breathing, it is very relaxing. Unlike physiotherapy, it is a painless and non-invasive procedure. The technique used consists of very gentle tweaks around the area of pain in rhythm with the breathing, which has indirectly helped my asthma. I have also learnt a lot about the human body, as I had never heard of the fascia before. I have fallen a lot in my life and I never knew that the jaw had anything to do with balance! I am really glad my physiotherapist directed me to Bowen, as I now leave each session relaxed and feeling like a new person! I would be happy to recommend Bowen Therapy to others. I would be happy to recommend my therapist to others. Reference:

Now I can do stuff I used to do freely; I feel about 10 years younger physically; I have more energy; I find it eadier to relax; and I know that if I do get another ache or pain, Bowen will sort it.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): This technique was unknown to me. A friend of mine whose son had fallen off a roof had received Bowen Therapy and was totally without pain after the first session. I had been suffering a frozen shoulder at the time and she suggested I make an appointment with Hilary. The pain was so severe that I was prepared to try anything! Previously my doctor had prescribed painkillers and suggested I make an appointment with a physiotherapist – privately as there was a 4 month waiting list at the local hospital. I went for Bowen Therapy and after two sessions the pain had gone. It was an amazing experience as I felt "something" was happening to by body with gentle "hands on". After my session, I had my first full night's sleep in months. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Having muscles that had been weakened by months of inactivity before and following bowel cancer, inadvertently led to my old back problem reoccurring. The frozen shoulder, with total restriction, caused by simply reaching for something in the back of the car, just created further mobility problems. Finding Bowen turned out to be a revelation and I have no doubt the Bowen treatment shortened the muscle recovery time (which I had been told could be up to 2 years) massively. Sleeping is now better and I find I can lie in any position without any discomfort, a vast improvement on previously. Muscle strength has now virtually returned allowing swimming and gardening activities to be resumed. In fact it is hard now to remember ever having a frozen shoulder, never mind a bad back.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I went to see Catherine Ford in the hope that the Bowen Technique could help alleviate the pain and stiffness in my shoulders caused by years of arthritis. I had read that Bowen was very effective for treating "frozen shoulder" so thought it was worth trying. I had also been feeling very "muddle-headed" and struggled to concentrate and remember things. After only a few treatments with Catherine, my shoulders regained their full range of movement for the first time in years and they were no longer painful and stiff. And my "fuggy head" disappeared, my concentration improved dramatically and I no longer felt tired and sluggish. Catherine is an excellent practitioner who inspires confidence in her patients. And Bowen is an amazing technique which has worked wonders for me. 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:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Frozen Shoulder, RSI Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): As a person with Type 1 diabetes, I am unfortunately prone to getting frozen shoulders, which are painful, and very incapacitating. When I injured my right shoulder last year, it rapidly developed into the fully frozen stage, with pain at night which interfered with sleep, as well as making it impossible for me to use a computer or carry bags. Having seen a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in shoulders with a previous episode, I knew that the average recovery time would be at least 18 months, unless I could find a complementary treatment which would speed up the recovery process. I have been very impressed with a course of Bowen treatments, supplemented by exercises to perform at home, which resulted in enough mobility within four months to enable me to drive a left hand drive car on an extended road trip, as well as giving me sufficient movement to perform all the activities I would normally do as part of my working day. Bowen has also been helpful to me in posture adjustment and helped with a repetitive strain injury, caused by typing whilst my shoulder was still frozen. I think patients new to Bowen will also be pleased with a practitioner's commitment to only offer sessions at the frequency with which they are really required, and only if they are causing improvement.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I began to experience stiffness in my left shoulder which within a short period of time (3 to 4 weeks) had progressed to totally limiting my left arm movement and severe pain, which was particularly bad at night. I could not put my arm behind me or raise it to any extent. In addition I could not sleep as the pain was so bad at night. I went to my GP who diagnosed a Frozen Shoulder. He prescribed strong pain killers to help me sleep and referred me to a physiotherapist for both assessment and treatment. She told me that unfortunately with this condition it would take a while to recover, up to 3 years in some cases. After several weeks there appeared to be no improvement and I was asked to consider a cortisone injection. Although reluctant I decided to have the injection as the lack of sleep was very draining and was affecting both my home and work life. I had the injection at 10am on a Friday, a surprisingly painless experience and for the rest of the day I felt great; no pain although movement was still restricted. On Saturday the pain returned and remained. The injection had provided me with relief for barely one day. I was then seen by a pain specialist who asked me to consider 'manipulation under general anaesthetic'. I was reluctant but again felt I needed to try any possible solution. I agreed and was told there was a 3 months waiting list. I mentioned my symptoms to the Winners 2000 in Torquay, as I was limited to the exercises I could do in the gym. They suggested that Austin Burn-Jones who practiced Bowen technique may be able to help. I made an initial appointment and then followed a session of treatments. 6 months on I have full functionality of my left arm, but most important to me was the pain cessation which gradually ceased over a 2 month period. Initially I received Bowen treatment from Austin, and then he later gave me exercises to undertake. Needless to say I cancelled my operation as it was very apparent to me that the Bowen Technique was working. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I would like to tell you about how the Bowen Technique has helped me with my shoulder. I injured my shoulder back in August 2004 and didn't really do anything about it. Then I had some reflexology and massage but it got worse and became a "Frozen Shoulder". I was told about this Bowen Technique and thought I would give it a try as I was in so much pain. After a couple of treatments my arm became easier to move. I have been about 6 times now and almost all the movements in my shoulder are now pain free. To say that I am thrilled is an understatement. I would recommend this to anyone who is in pain.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had tried several therapies for my frozen shoulder without success. Some of the therapies were very painful to receive. The shoulder pain was affecting my sleep and movement was severely restricted. Bowen Therapy was not a 'quick fix' but there was gradual improvement and the shoulder is now 95% better. I find Bowen sessions to be very relaxing, refreshing and rewarding. I continue to have regular Bowen Therapy because it is gentle and I find it very fulfilling, and also because it fits so perfectly with my own approach to life. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Before treatment I had steroid injections to relieve the pain. These were successful but my doctor wouldn't allow me to have any more injections. Still in pain with my right shoulder I seeked help with Bowen treatment that had also been successful for one of my relatives. I found the treatment to be very comfortable and relaxing. To my amazement after having just four weekly sessions, the pain has gone. It has not returned and am now enjoying life to the full again and looking forward to getting back to gardening. Thank you.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have received Bowen Therapy for a number of different issues, the most recent of which was regarding a specific problem I'd developed in my right shoulder. For about 6 months I'd been experiencing sharp pain, an unusual clicking (which could also be painful) and a slight reduced range of motion in my arm. I attended for Bowen Therapy and following only one session the pain eases, the range of motion improved and within a few days of the therapy the clicking stopped completely. The session occurred around Oct. '10 and now Feb '11, I've had no further problems with the shoulder. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have longstanding injuries to my ankles and right shoulder dating back 25 years. I have had may therapies over the years, including osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, chiropractic treatment, physio therapy and acupuncture. I am well aware that no treatments can "cure" me, but I have suffered debilitating pain in walking with many other areas of pain all caused by compensating for the damaged ankles and right shoulder. After 3 visits for Bowen Therapy I felt much more energy, felt better comfort in my body and feel I can walk better with less pain. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Shoulder pain, heel pain and tennis elbow Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I first went to see a Bowen therapist after having persistent shoulder pain for about six months.

Since this time I have been treated by Claire on several occasions with problems with tennis elbow and with my heel. I have found that the treatment has been successful each time. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Pain and limited mobility Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had long standing pain and limited mobility in my right shoulder and neck, which had just been worsened by pulling the muscle in this area. Although I had had the long term pain and frustration with limited mobility and postural alignment during my yoga practice, it was the increased discomfort that led me to seek treatment. After the first treatment I had greater mobility and the pain returned to its usual level. After the next two treatments I noticed much more mobility and a positive change in my posture. I found that this continued to improve after the treatment. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Neck and shoulder problems Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had suffered with neck and shoulder problems for a year or so after a fall, this was exacerbated recently subsequent to my sitting immobile for a long period whilst undergoing a stem cell donation procedure. Recommended by my son in law, I underwent a series of Bowen treatments by Penny Gibbings. In total I had five sessions and after a noticeable improvement from the first session my symptoms then gradually further improved. I now have significantly more and pain free movement in both neck and shoulder. This has helped me generally day to day and certainly when driving. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Broken shoulder, torn biceps muscle Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): About 10 years ago I slipped and broke my left shoulder, tearing the biceps in the process. I had physiotherapy at the hospital which was successful up to a point. But I still had limited movement in my arm and very often my shoulder would ache quite badly. I put up with this for a very long time until a friend of mine suggested Bowen Therapy. Thank goodness I took her advice. I began seeing Penny on a regular basis. It made a great deal of difference to the mobility of my shoulder and I continue to see Penny for treatment for other issues when I feel the need. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had put up with the pain in my shoulder and inability to raise my left arm for a while and considered different types of therapy.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I suffer from persistent chronic pain in my right shoulder and arm which would wake me from sleep. My GP prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs which had little effect and the pain continued for many months. Although somewhat sceptical before treatment, I found the Bowen sessions very relaxing and have been very pleased with the results. Nikki's thorough medical assessment identified the root cause and her careful explanation of the Bowen moves allayed my anxiety. The first session was immediately effective, by significantly reducing the symptoms. After correcting my posture and work tasks and receiving the second session, the pain completely disappeared.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have long standing painful frozen shoulder and no success with physiotherapy. I am hoping to avoid surgery and a friend suggested Bowen therapy with Samantha Roze. My first consultation was in her new clinic building adjacent to her home. I was delighted that she made careful notes and was kind and caring. I have received seven Bowen treatments (once a week) all of which have been very gentle. The pain reduced further after every visit and in addition after each session I felt really good and "on top of the world". I am now to see Sam just monthly and have my fingers crossed for the future. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I generally have a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders, but when one shoulder became extremely painful and stiff recently I had a Bowen treatment. After just one treatment, the pain was greatly alleviated and I regained almost full movement. I also felt extremely relaxed afterwards. I felt even better following the second treatment! I felt virtually no pain or tension in my back or shoulders and I felt balanced and aligned overall. Following my recent third treatment, the pain is now completely gone and I feel my general posture has improved. Bowen therapy has proved to be a very positive and beneficial experience for me and as a result I will now be having regular 'maintenance' treatments. Reference:

After prolonged pain and suffering of frozen shoulder I declare my Bowen therapy nothing less [than] a miraculous cure! Reference:

It certainly worked for me and is the treatment I would choose for any joint or tendon problems. I am still skiing and hiking at 62 and would have no hesitation in consulting my local Bowen therapist for any mobility problems or injuries. Reference:
