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.

“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.”
