What is Hip (Trochanteric) Bursitis?
What causes Hip (Trochanteric) Bursitis? Trochanteric Bursitis can be caused by repetitive trauma through excessive walking, running or cycling, where muscles or tendons have been rubbing over the Trochanteric Bursa causing too much friction. If posture, gait or running technique is incorrect, the Bursa is more likely to become inflamed since the muscles or tendons will not be rubbing over the Bursa as they should. A fall or sudden impact through sports may also damage the Bursa and cause Hip Bursitis. Other diseases such as arthritis, calcium deposits in the tendons, weak hip muscles or a tight ITB that leads to improper posture can also cause Trochanteric Bursitis. When to Seek Treatment for Hip Bursitis? As with most conditions, earlier treatment will allow a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurance. Also, as somebody with hip pain starts to walk differently, other parts of their body (ie. back) can go out of alignment too from improper gait. Bowen Treatment for bursas may be very effective at reducing the pain, and significantly improve the rate of healing. Without treatment and continuing the activity that is aggravating the bursa, the pain will likely get worse. Tendons or muscles rubbing over a damaged bursa that no longer provides protection or lubrication may also become damaged.

What is Morton's Neuroma?
What Causes Morton's Neuroma? High heels or tight fitting footwear, such as worn in sports like skiing or rock climbing, can cause Morton’s Neuroma. The compression of the foot can cause the nerves within to become irritated and swollen, causing pain. People who have other foot issues such as bunions, hammertoes, fallen or high arches are at a higher risk of experiencing Morton’s Neuroma, especially if they are putting a lot of stress on their feet, (eg. by doing lots of running). When to Seek Treatment for Morton's Neuroma? Early treatment of Morton's Neuroma facilitates faster recovery. Bowen Treatment can help alleviate the pain, and works to improve the circulation and rate of healing, Without treatment and continuing activities that are aggravating the Neuroma the pain will likely get worse.

What is Osgood-Schlatter's Disease?
What Causes Osgood-Schlatter's DiseaseAs a child has a growth spurt, the bones sometimes grow faster than the muscles. The quadriceps can then become tighter, putting more strain on their anchor points on the bones. Small fractures can occur at the tibial tuberosity, that holds the quadriceps onto the tibia, and the body responds by increasing the bone mass and density at the anchor site, increasing the size of the tibial tuberosity. Previous knee injuries may make a child more susceptible to Osgood – Schlatter’s disease When to Seek Treatment for Osgood-Schlatter'sIf Osgood-Schlatter's disease is preventing your child from participating in sport it may be worth getting it treated. Knee pain or swelling may become chronic if the tibial tuberosity is not treated and allowed to rest from being continuously stressed. Without treatment or rest, as the body reinforces the tibial tuberosity with additional bone the child may develop a bony protrusion from their shin beneath their knee cap. This will usually remain for life. Bowen Treatments work to relax and lengthen the quadriceps muscle group so that it puts less stress on the anchor point.

What is Carpal Tunnel?
What causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? The carpal tunnel is the name for a structure in your wrist, a narrow passageway made of bone and ligaments that protects the nerve and tendons that run to your hand and fingers. When the nerve running through the carpal tunnel is pinched or compressed, one begins to experience the pain, tingling or weakness of carpal tunnel syndrome. The anatomy of the carpal tunnel can be different in different people leaving those born with a narrow carpal tunnel potentially more susceptible to this problem. The width of the carpal tunnel can also be affected through wrist fractures or arthritic conditions which can cause a narrowing of the carpal tunnel, also increasing the likelihood of experiencing this condition. However often I find carpal tunnel syndrome is experienced after repetitive overuse of the muscles of the forearms and wrists. A type of repetitive strain injury (RSI) of the muscles and tendons in this area. Relaxing and softening the soft tissues in the area usually brings considerable relief. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be common in women who are pregnant or going through menopause because they tend to have fluid retention that can cause a narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Often the condition resolves on it's own once the pregnancy is over. When to Seek Treatment for Carpal Tunnel?As with any ailment it's best to begin treatment as early as possible to reduce discomfort and recovery time. Bowen Therapy treatments loosen the soft tissues that compress the nerves responsible for carpal tunnel pain, and increase blood flow to the area to facilitate healing for long lasting relief. We have been very successful in the past with relieving client's Carpal Tunnel pain with a range of different causes.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?
What causes Plantar Fasciitis?
When to seek treatment for Plantar Fasciitis?It's best to begin treating plantar fasciitis as early as possible, because the worse it gets, the longer it takes to get better. I have seen some people's plantar fasciitis pain get so bad that they can barely walk, so this is one that you really want to get under control as early as possible. By the time plantar fasciitis gets to the stage where one can barely walk, it can take a few weeks to resolve, and will require a change of lifestyle pace so that the plantar fascia has more opportunity to heal without applying additional stress to the tissues. Besides taking longer for the plantar fascia to heal, in the meantime people with a sore foot adjust the way they walk to compensate for the foot pain, and this can lead to knee, hip and back problems. Because Bowen Therapy works differently to other therapies, I have frequently helped clients relieve their plantar fasciitis pain where other treatments have failed.

What is Sciatica?
When to Seek Treatment for Sciatica ?If you are experiencing sciatic pain, it's best to seek treatment earlier rather than later, since early treatment facilitates a speedy recovery. Leaving sciatic pain untreated for extended periods increases recovery time, as well as contributing to new musculo-skeletal problems. As people start getting in the habit of walking with a limp to accommodate their sciatic pain it starts throwing other parts of the body out, and creating additional problems.
