Anybody suffering from back pain will surely have gone through many different odalities of treatment and therapy. For anybody who hasn't heard of the Bowen Therapy, here is a Bowen Therapy Review from a fellow back pain sufferer.
2 months ago I injured my lower back straining to lift up a suitcase. Since then I suffered from an extremely painful lower back with a sharp pain that radiated down my left leg.
On visiting my GP I was told it was a sciatic nerve pain that would need rest....well rest is what I did ...I didn't have a choice, I couldn't walk with the pain. Painkiller after painkiller did not ease the pain. On revisiting my GP I was referred to the orthopaedics department in a local hospital. I saw a lovely surgeon who very kindly told me I would need an operation as I had a herniated disc which was impinging on my nerve.....as logical as it all sounded I was petrified when she later went on to explain that my spine would be exposed during surgery and the risks involved included paralysis....WHAT????
After a further week of popping painkillers and being practically paralysed with the pain I decided I would go for the surgery and agreed to go on the waiting list. Another two weeks went by having attempted every single therapy I could possibly find on the internet such as acupuncture and chiropractic treatment. The pain remained.
Then one Sunday morning as I sat in Starbucks pondering the after effects of my surgery, I saw an article on a Bowen Therapy Review for back pain. I was clutching at straws here but decided to check it out.
Dr. X is a medically trained Bowen therapist who was quick to assess my condition and questioned me in great detail about the cause of my back pain and other health problems. "Will Bowen at least relieve my pain whilst I await my surgery?" I asked. "Relieve your pain most definitely but we want to heal it completely", she said. She then went on to explain how Bowen works with the natural healing process of the body and there is no external manipulation involved. Just as a would heals by itself, so the body will heal itself when injured, although it may take a little more time it will heal permanently just as a wound does. Painkillers and other forms of quick fixes act just as a plaster to temporarily provide relief without tackling the source of the problem.
"But why didn't my body heal right after the injury?" I queried.
"After an injury occurs the healing process is hampered by muscle spasm and constriction which reduces the blood supply and so prevents complete healing. Bowen is simply a trigger of the healing response. I can't promise you the pain will disappear immediately after the treatment, it may take a day or two or maybe even another treatment, it all depends on the rate the body wishes to heal at. There will definitely be some relief though. If the pain persists we will schedule another appointment 5 days or more later with a more targeted approach to the problem. The first session is a general all over body treatment that evaluates the body's response to Bowen. On many occasions just one treatment is enough", she replied. This sounded convincing enough.
Dr. X went on to explain the Bowen procedure and emphasised how gentle it would be. She also explained how 'breaks' of 2 minutes in length were taken in between moves to allow the body to respond to the signals without being bombarded and confused with too many signals.
I got onto the treatment table face down and the treatment began. First she made two extremely gentle rolling like moves on my lower back and left the room for the 'break'. What was that I thought? Am I wasting my money here....BUT then all of a sudden I felt a gentle rush of heat to my back and as if by magic my whole body was pulsating and tingling yet relaxed. I can only describe it as being wrapped in a warm fleece with a hot water bottle on a cold night...aahhhhhhh......bliss.
The treatment proceeded with more moves in different places.....with the same gentle touch. Throughout the process I felt completely relaxed and very aware of my body. The same warmth travelled throughout my body but was concentrated mainly on my lower back.
After the treatment, I was gently awoken and sat up. I felt light headed and as though I had just awoken from a deep sleep. The pain in my back was a mere tingle and I jumped off the bed amazed. Her smile was quickly replaced by a frown and I was reprimanded for jumping off the bed so quickly as it may cause some imbalance.
Following a glass of water I was told not to carry out any strenuous activities and to drink lots of water to encourage blood flow and lymph drainage. She also discouraged trying any other therapy during now and the second session as any other therapy may interfere with the signals and confuse the healing process. She advised me to call her if I experienced any pain or was re-injured.
I have not had any back pain since my first session and am still amazed at the power of Bowen and the healing process of the human body.
So that is my story and my Bowen Therapy Review! I went back for my second session and my monthly migraines are now a thing of the past!! Every 6 weeks I book myself a session just to rebalance myself and keep everything running smoothly...and I called my surgeon to cancel the surgery!!!!
I highly recommend the Bowen Therapy to everybody out there with any ailment!!!
I hope this Bowen Therapy Review will come in handy for anybody interested in trying it out, it is definitely worth it!
