Having had intensive back surgery I thought, despite Physio, that pain and weeks spent in bed were my lot. Bless the person who recommended Bowen Massage! I am now almost always pain free and can exercise without fear of causing damage. Gentle, non invasive but effective, it can seem like the therapist isn't doing much, but basically these small actions remind the body of where muscles should sit and, with a gentle 'ah' as they settle back in place, suddenly pathways are cleared for toxins to be released and chemicals to travel around the body like they should. Have recommended this practitioner to so many friends who have gone: 'wow', that it can be hard to get an appointment if its not urgent. (If it's really bad, Fred can also come to you.) Fortunately usually all I need now is the occasional gentle reminder to my body to keep things travelling well. If you are in pain, I totally recommend Bowen. (P.S. claimable on BUPA)

Every time I put my neck out or just need a refresh I call Fred Clough bowem therapist from Aspley bowen clinic, great prices, mobile service available so you don't even need to leave the house. Gentle movements done help relieve injuries or strains and I would highly recommend Bowen Therapy to anyone suffering with pain. My 5 year old son suffered with asthma for years but not anymore.
