In a newspaper article, I read of a lady who had suffered similar symptoms to those I had been experiencing for some time, a very painful cheek and jaw which made chewing and speech quite difficult. The lady had received Bowen therapy which had a remarkable effect and had cured her problem.

In Carlisle I found Freda Hodgson and after the first treatment the pain had almost disappeared and with two more visits, had cleared completely. I have now been pain free for 2 years. This was amazing because my dentist had told me that nothing could be done, yet Freda’s gentle treatment had worked.

From the age of 18 I had persistent problems with my jaw; whenever I yawned or had to open my mouth wide it would lock so my mouth was actually opened very little. I would have to press the joint and move my jaw from side to side in order to release it. This was an ongoing problem that was extremely noticeable in everyday activities, including eating. I stopped playing the clarinet because the tension around my jaw made playing painful.

I had 3 Bowen treatments and was surprised by how quickly the pain and the locking problem were alleviated. Three years after having this treatment I am not experiencing any discomfort or locking of my jaw at all.

Insomnia, Grief, Chronic Pain, Lethargy

When months of aches and pains and lack of sleep had quite worn me out, I decided to see if the Bowen Technique could help me, since sleeping pills and painkillers weren't working.

In the first session, Jo worked on my leg which had been so painful; I'd been limping for 10 weeks. The doctor said it was probably a trapped nerve. I limped in and skipped out! In 5 sessions Jo worked on the various painful areas - feet, hands, hips, shoulder and my jaw, which Jo felt was probably the cause of the facial pain that had troubled me frequently for many years.

Each week I felt better - not just a reduction to pain but sleeping more soundly and waking feeling more energised. Now, I've resumed swimming twice a week, I go to over 50's aerobics and look after my large garden with renewed pleasure, as well as once again, being able to knit and crochet without pain in my hands.

I heartily recommend the Bowen Technique to anyone who wants to remember how it feels to wake up refreshed; looking forward to the new day knowing you can deal with whatever it may bring.

I am now feeling much better, fitter and younger than pre-treatment. Thank you for revitalising me!

TMJ Pain (pain in teeth, jaw and neck)

I started Bowen treatment mainly to help resolve a very painful case of TMJ from which I had suffered for over three years and had given me constant pain in my teeth, jaw and neck. After just one treatment my jaw moved position and the pain began to diminish. It took a number of treatments to finally resolve but now, thanks to the Bowen treatment combined with neck stretching exercises, I no longer suffer from TMJ.

I have also found the treatments useful to help resolve problems with my back, stomach and my general wellbeing. I would highly recommend it to anybody who has a muscular or postural problem, as well as those who have physical issues as a result of stress.
