Back pain imposes a significant economic burden on the UK, costing the economy approximately £20 billion annually!

This figure includes direct healthcare costs and indirect costs such as lost productivity and welfare payments.

Direct healthcare costs for back pain, including GP consultations, physiotherapy, and surgery, amount to around £500 million annually.

Additionally, back pain accounts for about 4.6 million GP appointments, costing the NHS around £69 million.

The indirect costs, including lost earnings and welfare payments, are substantial, contributing to the overall economic impact.

When AF had sudden onset crippling back pain, which meant they had to cancel a trio away and couldn't really walk, let alone drive. They had an emergency Bowen session, with immediate relief.

In their own words "I woke one morning with such severe pain in my lower back that it took me 15 minutes to get out of bed. I feared I would be laid up for weeks. I had an emergency Bowen treatment in my own home. I gained some relief instantly. I followed the aftercare guidelines strictly and just one week later the pain had gone! Remarkable!"

Just imagine how much we could reduce that financial cost to the UK and reduce the pressure on the NHS if more people went for Bowen Technique!

DEEP OSCILLATION therapy helps reduce pain by moving and removing pain-causing substances from the body. It lowers pain from inflammation and swelling by limiting the movement of harmful cells to the injured area, decreasing the release of inflammatory substances, and reducing swelling. **Moving Better** Chronic pain and injuries often lead to less movement because blood flow is restricted due to tight muscles around small blood vessels. DEEP OSCILLATION relaxes these muscles, improves metabolism, and normalizes nerve function. This can lead to better movement and flexibility. **Reducing Inflammation** DEEP OSCILLATION helps reduce both sudden and long-lasting inflammation. It does this by limiting harmful cell movement to the injured area, lowering the release of inflammatory substances, and preventing fluid leakage from blood and lymph vessels. The following benefits of DEEP OSCILLATION® are proven: - It effectively reduces pain. - It has anti-inflammatory effects. - It helps reduce swelling. - It promotes the healing of wounds. - It decreases scar tissue. - It reduces sprains, strains, and bruises. - It aids detoxification. - It improves tissue quality.

When dealing with pain and tension, a deep tissue or remedial massage can effectively relieve tightness and discomfort. However, without addressing the root cause, relief may be short-lived. Understanding the body's systems, especially the fascial system and musculoskeletal structure, is essential for effective treatment.

Every pain has a reason, and if trauma is involved, the history is crucial. The fascia retains memories of past injuries, impacting your current condition.

I have developed a tailored approach that integrates various therapies to enhance each client's health and well-being. My treatments are not one-size-fits-all; they are customized to meet individual needs, and chronic issues may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

My massage therapy incorporates advanced techniques like Muscular Energy Techniques (MET), Trigger Point Therapy, Soft Tissue Release (STR), Tui Na, muscle testing, and fascial unwinding.

The Bowen Technique is a holistic approach that harmonizes the entire body by restoring balance through the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This vital system regulates over 80% of bodily functions and is highly attuned to external stressors, making its balance essential for overall health.
**How Does Bowen Therapy Work?**
Bowen Therapy activates the Nervous System Feedback Loop, which connects fascia, connective tissues, the nervous system, and the body as a unified entity. This unique process effectively resets and rebalances your overall well-being. Gentle Bowen movements stimulate and engage your nerve receptors, allowing them to absorb these subtle techniques and relay critical information to your brain via the spinal cord.
**Bowen Therapy Addresses Every System in the Body:**
- Joints - Musculoskeletal system - Circulation - Internal organ systems - Proprioception (muscle memory) - Fascial rehydration - Lymphatic system.

From birth, your tongue is connected to your toes through an intricate network of fascia. If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.

Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.

Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

With many thanks to

Had enough of those niggling aches and pains?
The Bowen Technique is a recognised hands-on complementary therapy, which many people turn to for significant relief from ongoing aches and pains and to address long-standing issues, where clients tell me they have tried everything else. Bowen therapy can treat musculoskeletal or related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions. It is gentle and relaxing and does not use forceful manipulation. When tension exists in the body pain is always present in varying degrees. Alongside tension, imbalances occur which also affect your organs and the body’s systems. This often presents as fatigue and lethargy, ultimately impacting the immune system.
The Bowen Technique also has an excellent track record of helping people with a wide variety of symptoms.
• Back Pain, musculoskeletal pain
• Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s & Stroke
• Headache, Migraine & Sinus
• Knees, Feet & Ankle Issues
• Neck & Shoulder Restrictions
• Sports Injuries & Performance
• Stress, Anxiety, & Low Energy
Also, many Bowen clients find improvement holding after only one or two treatments. For others, it may take longer, perhaps between 3 to 4 sessions. Depending on chronic conditions. Some will continue with therapy on a regular monthly basis to maintain their well-being.
Whether you are dealing with pain, chronic illness, injuries, physical trauma, improving overall health, or sporting performance, all systems of the body need to be evaluated as they all influence each other.
