Ankle & Foot problems

What complaint or symptoms brought you for a Bowen treatment?

Sprained left ankle

What did your symptoms prevent you from doing?

Walking

Have you been able to resume doing them partially / fully since having Bowen treatment?

Fully

Testimonial of my Bowen Therapy experience. (How have you benefited from your Bowen treatment?)

My first visit to a Bowen Practitioner was approx 3 years ago when an old back injury became chronic; Erica Moss had a short article in a local paper: In desperation, after failures of other treatments, I made an appointment. The almost instant pain relief and flexibility was amazing. A recent visit after spraining my ankle resulted again in virtually instant painless walking after treatment. Without Bowen I believe I would be walking with at least one stick!!

After pains pulled me down.

Fully.

Testimonial of my Bowen Therapy experience. (How have you benefited from your Bowen treatment?)

I have been going to Merel for the past seven months. I originally went for treatment of a flare up of an old sprained ankle and then also for shoulder and neck problems that were identified by Merel on my first visit. My shoulder had been particularly problematic after surgery an has improved so much after having Bowen, the range of movement is much better and it is less painful. All conditions have really improved and I have been impressed by the Bowen therapy and I am really grateful to Merel for the treatment and the support she has given.

Walking properly and balance

Have you been able to resume doing them partially / fully since having Bowen treatment?

Yes, although the ankle still has further healing to do

Testimonial of my Bowen Therapy experience. (How have you benefited from your Bowen treatment?)

After some basic treatment form the ear, nose and throat specialist the therapy restored my balance and seems to have removed the causes of vertigo. The signs of water retention have disappeared. Helped relax and ease the pain in my ankle and contributed to the lengthy healing process.

2 years ago I had Arthritis in my ankle. The only way to walk properly again is to have the ankle fused together, so you can’t move your ankle again, I did not like that advice. A nurse suggested having Bowen treatment. I did go, after a couple of weeks to a month I could walk brilliantly. What a wonderful day it was when I found Janie. Thank you very much.

After a few sessions it was noticeable that her left ankle position was better and her toes didn’t turn in. She was also able to feel her left side and knew where it [was] more. She feels more relaxed after a session. (11 year old with Cerebral Palsy)

I had been suffering from painful heels, both feet in different places for a couple of years. It was really hard to walk and getting worse, standing for periods of time was difficult. I couldn’t even play a round of golf.

I had been seeing a chiropractor for some years mainly treating back trouble from a car accident and with some success. However, this didn’t really get to grips with my feet, so I went to my doctor who gave me pain killers for a while, then I tried a physiotherapist who gave some ultrasonic and exercise treatment. No luck with either.

That feeling of "It’s going to be like this forever", was starting to creep in. I heard about Clare through my wife’s involvement with St Luke’s Hospice in Winsford.

I arranged an initial session with Clare. "Plantar Fasciitis" she cried and the treatment began. I was very skeptical even after the first couple of sessions and although I think there was some improvement, I was still not sure. At each session, Clare carried out some simple tests and this showed improvement was being made. Now, after 6 sessions spread over 5 months I feel so much better. The pain is much less now and I continue to improve.

I would recommend to even the most skeptical to give Clare a call. My golf hasn’t improved but it’s really good just getting round.

Shoulder pain, heel pain and tennis elbow

I first went to see a Bowen therapist after having persistent shoulder pain for about six months. After just 2 sessions I found that the pain had decreased significantly and I have had no further problems with my shoulder. 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.

I have longstanding injuries to my ankles and right shoulder dating back 25 years. I have had may therapies over the years, including osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, chiropractic treatment, physio therapy and acupuncture. I am well aware that no treatments can “cure” me, but I have suffered debilitating pain in walking with many other areas of pain all caused by compensating for the damaged ankles and right shoulder. After 3 visits for Bowen Therapy I felt much more energy, felt better comfort in my body and feel I can walk better with less pain.

Having broken 3 metatarsals, my foot was immobilised for 3 months. After the hospital released me with no aftercare at all I had a bad limp and swelling, so following a recommendation I went to Fiona for a Bowen treatment. My first visit resulted in the limp completely gone and after 3 visits the swelling has virtually disappeared and the added bonus is that my posture has gratefully improved.

Having had a problem with Plantar Fasciitis for a few months and having seen podiatrists, had massages etc. I thought I would try Bowen. I was amazed after 2 sessions how much better my heel was. I now have hardly any problems with it at all unless I been wearing heeled shoes for long periods.

I had Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. The first steps of the day – arising from bed were extremely painful, the thought of going on a car journey where my foot would be ‘at rest’ then to walk the pain would be as bad as the first step of the day again. The impact on my life was quite severe. After several Bowen [treatments] I felt relief and within weeks it had gone altogether. Bowen has also helped my sinus.
