I was introduced to Bowen therapy by Juan and was very interested, as I’ve tried a number of different treatments over the years to deal with a longstanding injury.
Following a series of knee operations (broken patella) I’d just learned to live with the pain, both in my knee and connected hip and lower back. Ibuprofen became the painkiller of choice, however I wasn’t happy with the known side-effects of taking it regularly. Also, any impact sports (e.g. football) would cause me acute pain for a day or so afterwards, in turn having a detrimental effect on sleep.
It’s early days, and I know this type of treatment will take time, however the signs so far are positive. Straight after treatment I definitely feel a loosening in the joints/muscles in and around my knee, hip and lower back accompanied by short-term pain relief.
Juan has all the qualities of being a good Bowen therapist, as his knowledge of the anatomy and his bed-side manner provide a very relaxed environment conducive to the therapeutic process.
My hope is that over time I will start to experience more sustained periods of improved mobility and pain reduction enabling me to enjoy the full effects of Bowen Therapy.
