The Bowen technique is a natural health technique that’s been used for years to treat numerous injuries and illnesses. Now it’s being used to treat post traumatic stress disorder in service men and women returning from combat back to civilian life.
At Abilene’s Bowtech for Health, Neil Hall wants to use to use the technique to help local airmen overcome PTSD and successfully adjust to life here in Abilene.
Neil says he’s willing to give free PTSD treatments to about five local service men or women.
Offering the Bowen technique as a way to treat PTSD in our local airmen allows Neil to do what he loves while repay them for the many ways they serve us, Hall said.
…Bowen therapy has also been used to aid in fertility problems, as experienced by Sharron Strong, 39, a firefighter from Milton Keynes. Having suffered for years with endometriosis, was uncertain of her ability to conceive naturally. After more than one operation to remove the endometriosis, Sharron was eventually considered for a hysterectomy, and she and her partner Harvey began to investigate adoption as their final chance to start a family. It was earlier this year, while attending a yoga class in her village – run by therapist Beryl Whiting – that she first heard about the Bowen Technique.
‘[Beryl] mentioned that one of her Bowen patients had just given birth after three failed IVF treatments,’ explains Sharron. ‘At the time I had never heard of Bowen treatment and immediately after the class I talked to Beryl to learn more.’…
…‘During the third session Beryl said she was going to ‘open up’ the pelvic region.’ She adds, ‘Something must have worked because I could hardly walk for three days afterwards, but I fell pregnant during that time. I understand now that the mind and energy in the body have a physical affect on your
body.’…
Leonie came to the Bowen Clinic to see if the technique could help with her very painful shoulder. I remember her first phone call to me. It was obvious she was in a lot of pain. She had recently received a cortizone shot from her doctor but the pain had returned with a vengence. She was ready to try anything except another shot.
I answered the door to this woman carrying numerous heavy bags as she was on her way home from work. She is an Early Years Visitor and visits families with pre-school children for many reasons, some have delayed learning, delayed speech,autism etc. (hence the heavy toys in her bags). Leonie was obviously in pain and I was a little shocked when she turned up on the doorstep with these heavy bags . She had difficulty lying on the massage couch in some positions due to the shoulder restriction. I gave her her first treatment and watched her leave carrying the same heavy bags she arrived with. I showed her some very simple, basic shoulder exercises that have shown to be of help after a treatment. They take only about 5 minutes to complete. Leonie had been doing these and she had a second treatment. On her second visit she was off work with a twisted ankle which she also received Bowen for along with her shoulder issue.
Many thanks to Janey Lee GraceJaney Lee Grace is dedicated to bringing awareness and healthly choices to the UK population. Actually this is the World Wide Web so I should perhaps rephrase that and say the World!
Her website imperfectlynatural.com is a mine of information full of links and resources to aid us to a better way of living and understanding of the human condition.
You will find a vast array of lotions, potions, techniques and articles to browse through. There is something for everyone. Some you will find interesting, perhaps some a little obscure and perhaps even unbelievable. The point is, is that Janey is a well known personality who is not afraid to leave a stone unturned at the risk of her reputation. Judgement is left aside. Take your pick and use what works for you.
Janey has been, and continues to be, a great proponant of Bowen Technique having used it herself during her own pregnancy to help heal her aching back.
She has kindly added the recent article written here on this blog, Bra’s, Breast Cancer and Bowen, to her features page on her website. Her site receives enormous amounts of traffic and so on behalf of the Bowen practitioners around the World I would like to say thank you for giving us the exposure this therapy deserves.
I recently undertook training with Howard Plummer and Helen Watson learning Howard’s Facial Bowen Technique. To say this was a transformational experience with regards to my Bowen practice would be an understatement.
Howard and Helen’s work is proving to be remarkable on it’s effects with children with cerebral palsy, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD and autistic difficulties. Having treated hundreds of children at their clinic in Cardiff there is well-documented evidence of Bowen’s positive effects for these conditions. Please refer to the testimonial at the bottom of this post. Howard and Helen have taught this technique to many Bowen practitioners who have gone on to run their own clinics for these children with special needs. It was whilst working with Rita Eccles in Lewes, East Sussex, that I was inspired to persue Howard’s work.
Although most of their research is with children, the technique is also beneficial to adults. Read More
I have seen nothing short of miracles as a result of various peoples experiences with Bowen Technique, but I also know that the technique alone cannot be credited wholly with the amazing stories of ‘recovery to Health.’ I write the word health with a capital ‘H’ for a reason, but that is for another article down the road.
One such experience is that of John Coleman. John used the Bowen Technique as part of his recovery protocol from Parkinsons and I contacted him recently to ask his permission to publish his story. He kindly granted that permission but with the following provisos;
“Bowen was an important part of my recovery process, but not THE MOST important part. We estimate that 80% of recovery comes from individual effort and dedication to the process. Of the remaining 20%, about 65% was the Aquas and 25% Bowen (i.e about 5% of the whole process). So I wouldn’t want to see statements like “John Coleman recovered using Bowen” or similar. I am happy to say that Bowen was the most helpful form of bodywork and assisted in cell hydration or something like that.” Read More
Testimonial on Frozen Shoulder improvements after Bowen treatment“My shoulders started bothering me. After months of pain that kept getting worse, I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. I received two cortizone shots in my shoulders and was given exercises to do. It didn’t have any effect. So I was sent for physical therapy. After 12 painful sessions of therapy they said they had done all they could, which wasn’t much. My doctor then said he could break loose the shoulders with force. I decided to try the Bowen Technique. After one session of the Bowen Technique, with Jackie, I started getting more mobility and less pain. After the 2nd session, and simple, easy exercises my mobility was improved almost 50%. After my 4th session I’m about 90% improved. I am amazed that such a non invasive procedure could have such a positive effect.”

“A fairly well kept secret and the one that was a revelation for me was….The Bowen Technique”…Go with me back to 1999, I was one of those women who was due to have millennium baby (and no it was not planned that way!) I was 7 months gone, and on my way to co host on ‘Steve Wright in the Afternoon’ for the BBC. Up until this point I’d been literally ‘blooming marvellous.’ but for the first time in my life (without revealing my age, save to say the hospital records showed ‘Primagravida’) I was racked by excruciating back pain. It hurt like hell. I could barely walk, let alone lift anything, and it felt like I was dragging round a huge ball and chain…
