Posture

 

Skeletal Realignment

I came to have Bowen treatment with Gillian La Haye as research for one part of a series of reviews I am undertaking for the Disability Times for which I am Health Editor.

I have severe musculo-skeletal imbalance and as a result suffer constant pain and considerable debility, so I am an excellent barometer to gauge any therapy that claims tension release and postural realignment.

I had no preconceptions which might influence any outcome. One symptom of my condition is that my wrists and ankles are very painfully gripped. After the first Bowen move on my back I felt a release in my wrists and ankles and a corresponding opening up/spacing out of my hands and feet. It was major and immediate.

After every Bowen treatment thereafter I have continued to feel astonishing releases and realignment. I can breathe more easily, I stand straighter and can sit for longer periods at a stretch. Thanks to Bowen I now have hope of regaining postural balance and a relatively pain-free existence.

In the article I am preparing for the Disability Times I will give Bowen the highest recommendation because whilst incredibly non-intrusive, it is unbelievably effective. For me it is a godsend.
