One different way Bowen Therapy may help with knee pain is through improving the alignment of the knee. We do this by addressing contributing factors we 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. An indication that your knees are not aligned properly may 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. 

Bowen Therapy is a holistic therapy that works on the whole body. Using our assessment methods we often find that there may be several contributing factors that need to be corrected before lasting results may be experienced.​ The root causes can be varied, but by addressing several underlying causes, the results may last longer.

​Some of the elbow complains we may help with Bowen Therapy are:
​

• Tennis Elbow
• ​Golfer's Elbow

• ​Arthritis
• Tendonitis
• General pains in and around the elbow

Once we have worked to correct the underlying problems using Bowen Therapy, gentle exercises can help to strengthen the muscles around the joint and help to prevent re-injury.

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. When one moves their shoulder joint less because of pain, it may contribute to the developing of frozen shoulder which, once developed can take longer to respond to therapy.

​​Bowen Therapy is a holistic therapy and it addresses the whole body. 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.
