Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): In 2007 I woke one morning to the most excruciating pain in my left leg. My GP and the hospital prescribed strong painkillers, but they barely touched the pain so eventually my GP prescribed morphine. This was helpful short term, but unpleasant side effects made me seek help from the National Health Care Centre at Totnes where Bowen Therapy was recommended. My first session reduced the pain and my need for vast amounts of painkillers. Subsequent sessions reduced my need to walk with a stick and eventually I was off the painkillers completely. The sharp painful twinges in my left leg had turned to numbness and eventually that vanished too. Reference:

After each session I felt refreshed, relaxed and optimistic that I would be able to enjoy the rest of my holiday. I believe this was a combination of the gentle, non-intrusive mature of the Bowen Therapy and the calm competence that emanated form Agatka. Reference:
