What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Tennis Elbow How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: It was my dominant hand and I couldn't lift most things, couldn't drive without pain and there was no way I could play tennis with the grandchildren or go canoeing. What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: I resumed all activities after just one session. I initially went for help as I was going away in 3 weeks with 4 of our grandchildren for 2 weeks and would not have been able to do much with them. As it was I did everything possible while away without any pain. How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: I've had 4 sessions now. The first was a lengthy analysis and questionnaire plus treatment which helped my tennis elbow. I also suffer from a curved spine with daily pain and wore shoe orthotics, so I have had a further 3 sessions now. The 2nd was 1 week later, the 3rd was 3 weeks and the final one will be 4 weeks, just before I go away again. Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): The good part about the Bowen Therapy is that all the body is treated - so I came in for tennis elbow and we are also working on my back pain as well. I have not worn my shoe inserts since the first session and I have walked 5 miles and 7 miles over 2 consecutive days without pain. I'm really pleased that my life is returning to normal without pain. I still have a way to go with the back but I've been in pain for years so a few more sessions are nothing if it sorts it out. I would be happy to recommend Bowen Therapy to others. I would be happy to recommend my therapist to others. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): About 4 year ago I was working in a carwash. My right elbow became unbearably sore. I couldn't straighten my right arm or lift the arm above my head. A friend advised me to try Bowen. I visited Hilary and after 2 sessions came away pain free. I could straighten my arm and had no problem raising it above my head. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had developed tennis elbow in my right elbow after years of playing a musical instrument. Bowen reduced the pain within a few sessions making it possible for me to continue playing. A while ago I decided to stop playing totally and since then Bowen has completely alleviated the problem. I would be happy to recommend my therapist to others. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Clare was recommended by a colleague at work, her son had had a Bowen treatment, so I initially booked a treatment for my son who has problems with his ears. I also mentioned that, I thought, I had Tennis Elbow, Clare suggested I had a Bowen session, which I booked, even though I was sceptical about this as my Chiropractor, I have had a whiplash injury, had advised me to buy a strap. We arrived at the PHI clinic, Joshua had his treatment and up to now he has not had an ear infection since his Bowen, I am keeping my fingers crossed but I would have no hesitation in taking him back to Clare. Then it was my turn, I cannot believe how thorough Clare was, a full check-up of my well being and any injuries I had sustained plus medical history. Clare then started on the Bowen treatment which was a full body check but paying particular attention to the elbow. I have to say there seemed to be an instant effect as my arm felt hot but as the sceptic I would wait and see! I was in the clinic over an hour and I have to say that is value for money. I booked a second session so Clare could concentrate on my elbow and the results are amazing, the constant ache I had in my forearm has disappeared and what a relief that is. I have not needed another treatment but once again I would not hesitate to book Clare and I would recommend it to any of my family and friends. Reference:

Since this time I have been treated by Claire on several occasions with problems with tennis elbow and with my heel. I have found that the treatment has been successful each time. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Painful shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Having suffered on and off for a number of years with pains in my right shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand I had been to my GP numerous times and was unsatisfied with the outcome. I decided it was time to look at alternative treatments and went to Penny, not knowing anything about the Bowen technique but willing to give anything a try. The pain was gone after the first session and though to start with I could not quite see how the Bowen technique worked I am now a convert! Perseverance and patience are essential as many aches and pains have an underlying cause that is not at first obvious. Bowen has opened my eyes to how different areas of the body are linked - treating your neck can have an effect on your legs and feet and visa versa. Penny has helped me to discover just what a sensitive body I have, I am now far more in tune with my body and what is going on. I would recommend her style of treatment to anyone who finds more mainstream therapies such as osteopathy or massage just that bit too physical - it really doesn't have to hurt after you have had treatment.
