Runner’s Knee and Shin Splints

by Paloma, posted in Testimonial

I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from my Bowen Therapy with Juan. The therapy itself identified issues with my feet and with my hip. I had initially booked in to address runners knee and shin splints. Juan treated my hip, knee and ankle. I had only positive side effects from this and found myself energised each week in between sessions. After completing the therapy, I’ve got back into my running, with the barefoot trainers Juan recommended and had zero issues with my knee or shins. 

As a therapist, Juan was attentive and professional. He highlighted posture issues and addressed them with the appropriate therapy. I felt comfortable throughout our sessions and highly trusted and valued his nutritional and lifestyle advice, which I have followed and of which I am now seeing the positive benefits. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Old Knee Injury Still Causing Pain

by Paloma, posted in Testimonial

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.
