Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): My right knee had caused me problems for many years, especially when weather turned damp. I took painkillers until someone suggested Bowen treatment. I thought I'd try it as nothing else seemed to ease the pain. I had 2 treatments and have not suffered with any pain since. It also appears I have got rid of a verucca on the same side foot which I had tried treating with all sorts of creams etc. to no avail for many years. Neither symptom – knee pain or verucca - have come back. I would recommend trying this treatment as I was so impressed with the outcome. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): My knee had been causing pain whenever I went running; it hurt from the first step I took and I was beginning to think I would have to stop. I mentioned it to by Bowen therapist who was treating me for another stress related problems. She included my knee as part of the treatment. The pain completely went away after 2-3 sessions and, despite increasing my running, has not returned. In addition to this the other symptoms I had were improved after 3-4 treatments leaving me feeling more relaxed, energetic and able to cope with the things around me that had been causing problems.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I came for treatment having had pain and restricted movement in my knees and lower back for some time. The pain in left knee had been severe for almost a year. After the first treatment the pain was much reduced and my movement was freer. I was able to enjoy swimming and waking with my dogs which I had only been able to do very occasionally. Just before seeking treatment I did start a course of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by my GP, but I believe these alone would not have brought about such improvement. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): A few years ago I had not heard of Bowen therapy.

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had for several years pain and swelling in my right knee exacerbated when taking exercise i.e. walking, golf. I went for treatment to a Bowen therapist who after only one treatment reduced the swelling and after several treatments improved my quality of life enabling me to play 18 holes of golf again. I continued having regular visits every six weeks or so to keep my leg supple and allowing me to lead a full life. After experiencing limited right arm movement and shoulder pain I went to the same Bowen therapist where my arm was released; after several sessions I was able to freely move my arm right across my chest and down my back.

She really enjoys the sessions, is much more relaxed and happy and the obsessive behaviour is slowly and steadily improving.
