Migraine and Neck Pain

I have suffered from regular migraines since puberty and I am now in my mid thirties, they were so bad I would sometimes be off work for several days – the pain would be so intense that it would affect my vision. No other therapy I have tried has ever worked, and pain killers were a waste of time. I had just four treatments of Bowen Technique with Austin and so far I have had only one serious migraine in the last 2 years (2008).

Hormone Imbalance, Stomach Migraines

For two years K has been unwell. The doctor said it was stress, then said "hormonal problems" K was off school 1 week in 4. She had pains in her stomach, she was pale, washed out - all she could do was sleep for 3 days at a time. Scans and blood tests came back clear. All doctors could do, was increase her drugs, with suspected "stomach migraine". 18 months later, we spoke to Jo and once a week K had a Bowen treatment.

K gradually began to improve. The doctor said to cut out all drugs, continue with Bowen treatments and then report back to him, which we did. The doctor now only gives K a very mild pain killer once every 2 months. K is now 80% better.

Thanks Jo, for all your hard work. Life is for the better now.

Migraine

I heard about Clare and Bowen treatment through a friend. I have suffered from Migraines from my teenage years to now, and I am now in my 30's. The Migraine attacks came on firstly with excitement and anxiety, much later after my children and hitting my late 30's my attacks have been related with menstruation.

I spoke to Clare, she gave me a course of treatment and during this course over 3 weeks I experienced that the treatment was definitely having some effect on me. I awaited my next menstrual cycle and I didn't get the migraine I was expecting. As a patient, I can't tell you how the treatment worked, however it worked for me. I am now a believer in Bowen and have told lots of friends about this unique treatment.

Clare is a professional and understanding person and is passionate about her work. I fully recommend her to anybody seeking the Bowen treatment.

I have no connection with Clare other than as a very satisfied client/customer.

Migraine, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Arthritis

After suffering from migraines and irritable bowel symptoms for some time, and painful arthritic fingers for a few months, I had 4 sessions of Bowen Therapy. Even after the first session, I felt much more relaxed and my energy level increased. I have had only two migraines (I would have expected at least twice as many) and they have been less severe and shorter in duration. I have had some improvement in my IBS although it comes and goes. The finger pain has reduced considerably so that only one finger is affected now and that not all the time. A tight and painful left hamstring has also improved. I intend to continue with top-up treatments at intervals as I feel Bowen has really helped me.

Every day at work I would return home with a migraine. Feeling totally fed up and at the end of tether. I tried Bowen. After 2 sessions my migraines went. Nothing at work or home changed, so I can only put it down to Bowen treatments.

I have been suffering from migraine headaches for many years, generally I assumed hormonally triggered due to their regularity, Janet was recommended to me and I went for 3 treatments in close succession. I waited for my usual migraine to occur, but it didn’t happen. I’ve kept appointments as top ups roughly every 6-8 weeks and have only experienced mild headaches occasionally sine. As the usual migraine would see me in bed for 2-3 day at a time, I can really say this has been a life changing experience. My visits are relaxing and refreshing.

Spina Bifida Occulta / Migraine

I am a forty-five year old woman, who having suffered years of chronic back pain and being told there was nothing the medical practitioners could do, I was recommended Bowen therapy.

I could not believe the difference in how I felt after the first session with Sandie Hamer.  Subsequent sessions proved even better, not only has it significantly relieved by back pain it also appears to have stopped my migraines!

I go every few weeks now just for a ‘top up’ and I feel wonderful.  I have recommended Bowen therapy to many friends and colleagues all of whom have felt the benefit.
