Bowen Technique
 

Has anyone used this method of therapy? Did it work for you? Did you have any side effects? A work colleague practices this method and has suggested she might be able to help my painful feet:fingerscrossed: I have googled and got some info but wondered if there were any real life people out there!

I have no idea but if it doesn't work I hope you've got your BFH.

Diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, orthotics help to a point but if I overdo the walking/standing thing then I certainly know about it - and my knees are not happy if I end up crawling - no carpet in this house:blink:

I had bad PF for years: finally my physio had me do "ballistic stretches" the whole goal being to break the scar tissue around the tendons. It worked!!!!

Re: Bowen Technique

Re: Bowen Technique
 

PMSL - Don't worry - I was just being a completely paranoid prat! I didn't get the Bullseye reference straight away, but had worked out that "Bus Fare Home" was the meaning of the first TLA...I'd just not made the link to a quiz show.

Then I assumed a rather offensive "title" was being bestowed on me, rather than the poster just making light of the fact that I wasn't very quick on the uptake :rofl:

Re: Bowen Technique
 

Well, it's all beyond me:confused::o I'm guessing like me not many people has heard of the Bowen technique?

Re: Bowen Technique
 

I had some Bowen therapy on a frozen shoulder (not caused by Canadian winter but back in the UK). While the therapy was not a cure, it did do some good, was pleasant and strange at the same time.

Hope that helps.

Warmly,

Frank

Hi Piff, I regularly have Bowen treatment for my back pain - it has been absolutely brilliant. When I first had it done I thought that it was really bizarre.

I can highly recommend it to anyone.

Re: Bowen Technique
 

Thank you both Karen and Frank - I think I'll give it a go - worth a try for my aches and pains - she has already told me i'm really tense so if she can loosen me up and nothing else that should be good!

Re: Bowen Technique
 

I used to work with someone who trained in this. I generally say tosh to alternative medicine etc, especially those that can do harm, but as far as I can see from this there are no adverse effects at all.

Some of the people I worked with went to her for treatment, including some of the doctors and they said it worked.

Re: Bowen Technique
 

Thanks for that - it's good to know about side effects and stuff.

Re: Bowen Technique
 

I had it done on a trapped nerve and muscle spasm, it worked ok. My FIL has bad arthritis and tried it, he was really impressed with the result.

Re: Bowen Technique
 

Cool - thanks for that. When the lady gets back from holidays I'll book a couple of sessions!

Re: Bowen Technique
 

Please let us know about your impressions once you try it...

Re: Bowen Technique
 

OK:thumbsup:

Hi,
I had Bowen on a trapped nerve in my neck which I had left too long and was causing problems in my right arm. When I went for my first treatment I was very sceptical as it doesn't really seem as though the therapist is doing much but I have to say it totally worked for me.
Good Luck
