How may Bowen Therapy help people with Knee Pain? One different way Bowen Therapy may help with knee pain is through improving alignment issues I identify with the knee. I do this by addressing contributing factors I find in the hips and ankles, as well as other areas in the body. This can act a bit like a wheel alignment on your car which can help reduce excessive wear and tear that contributes to pain in your knees. According to my observations, an indication that your knees may not be aligned properly could be feeling discomfort in any one of the following: your hips, lower back, between or under your shoulder blades. Another indicator alignment might be an issue is if your knee gets worse after sitting for extended periods. In these cases the toughened tissue that is designed to take the repetitive flexing and extending of the knee while performing vigorous activities like walking or running may no longer be taking the full load due to the misalignment. The movement of this misaligned knee during activity may cause additional stress on the surrounding tissues which quickly become inflamed during activity. Luckily those who are frequent walkers or runners usually are fit, healthy people, so when they stop the activity that is aggravating the knee it soon recovers and feels better, however because the alignment of the knee joint has not been corrected, next time they begin vigorous activity the pain flares up once again. If one is to ignore the pain and continue activities that cause knee pain, after time these knee issues tend to progressively get worse, and the pain can become more severe. This can lead to leg muscle weakness and worsening mobility, potentially causing weight gain which adds further stress to the knee. How may Bowen Therapy help with Knee Pain for longer? With Bowen Therapy I work to correct the alignment of the knee as I see it, so that the joint tracks properly. By working to correct this underlying problem Bowen Therapy may help you have longer lasting results so you can do the activities you enjoy in comfort for longer.

When to seek help for Hip Pain?If your symptoms are not at least starting to improve after two weeks, it's probably worth seeing somebody about it. If one is to ignore hip pain and continue activities that cause pain, after time, hip issues tend to progressively get worse, and the pain can become more severe. Since the hips are the base that holds your entire upper body, it is important that they are aligned correctly to prevent compensations and associated pain higher in the body, As with most injuries, the earlier one seeks help, the more likely recovery time will be short and the chance of re-occurrence will be reduced. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Hip Pain?Using Bowen Therapy I work to correct the alignment issues I identify in the hip and surrounding structures, which I find are underlying causes of hip pain. Bowen is a holistic therapy where I treat the whole body and can identify several different contributing factors, not only working around the hip, and that's how I may get results to last longer.

When to seek help for Shoulder Pain?If you are experiencing increasing pain or reduced movement or function in your shoulder joint for two weeks, it's probably worth getting somebody to look at it.

Using our assessment methods we can identify several different areas that may be contributing to shoulder issues. By working on other areas of the body (such as necks, hips, or even the jaw) that are contributing to the underlying causes of your shoulder issues, the results of Bowen Therapy may be enjoyed for longer, This makes Bowen Therapy possibly one of the most cost effective ways available t0 manage shoulder issues.

How may Bowen Therapy help people with Neck Pain?Because there are no forceful movements or cracking of bones there is no risk of doing any damage to any of the body structures. And because I work with the muscles and their controlling nerves in Bowen Therapy, the muscles that hold the bones in place are also manipulated, so that muscle and bone alignment I identify is addressed. By addressing both muscles and bone alignment our results may be experienced for longer, making Bowen Therapy possibly one of the most cost effective options for neck pain around.
Some of the neck presentations commonly seen in clinic are:

What is Golfer's Elbow?Golfer’s Elbow, scientifically known as epicondylitis, is a condition where the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow become inflamed. The pain initiates from the bony bump-like structure of the elbow and travels down the inside of the forearm. The name is a misnomer, in that it doesn’t just affect golfers. Golfer’s elbow is different from Tennis elbow in that, tennis elbow affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, while Golfer’s Elbow is caused by damage to the tendons on the inside of the elbow. It is also less common than tennis elbow. What Causes Golfer's Elbow?The condition gets its name from an overused hand motion, like that of a golfer. Golfer’s Elbow is caused by forearm muscle overuse due to repetitive movements like flexing, gripping or swinging. These movements can cause tiny tears in the tendons. Overuse of tools like hammers, rakes and paintbrushes can cause Golfer’s Elbow as well. When to Seek Help for Golfer's Elbow? If your symptoms are not improving after two weeks, it's probably worth getting somebody to look at your Golfer's Elbow. Getting it seen to early can facilitate a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. Without allowing the injury to heal, and continuing the activity that is aggravating the golfer's elbow, the pain will likely get worse. In some extreme cases, surgery might be required. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Golfer's Elbow?Bowen Therapy may help to increase blood flow to the area to increase the rate of healing and speed up recovery. Bowen may also help by working to release tension in the flexor muscles of the forearm which could be putting additional stress on the tendons of the elbow and preventing recovery.
Many clients with Golfer's Elbow that have Bowen Therapy may report a faster rate of healing, a better range in their movements, and feeling more comfortable doing the activities they enjoy. With Bowen Therapy we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem. And because Bowen works differently to other therapists (through the nervous system), it's not uncommon to get results where other therapists have failed..

What Causes Hay Fever?When one inhales dust, pollen or other such particles, the immune system treats them as dangerous foreign substances, causing the body to release histamine and leukotrienes, which inflame parts of the nasal passage, eyelids and can trigger sneezing. All these symptoms are meant to protect one’s body by either trapping or expelling the allergen. At times, the closure of nasal passages may block sinus drainage openings, causing sinusitis. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Hay Fever?Bowen clients may report substantially reduced hay fever symptoms after Bowen Therapy sessions, and in some severe cases, Bowen may have helped to make life a lot more comfortable, especially for those whom have had limited relief from medications. Some researchers have found that the nervous system may play a significant role in hay fever sufferers. This may help explain how the Bowen Technique, which works with the fascia and nerves of the body, may have helped improve hay fever symptoms in these people.
