Bristol Bowen Therapy

I had been suffering from sciatic pain, numbness in my leg, pain in my glute and pain on walking for about 6 months. Being usually fit and active and only in my 40’s I was very distressed by this. I had tried osteopathy and physiotherapy but these had not really helped at all. I had also been using private medical insurance to get the appropriate scans and X-rays to understand what was causing the pain. I happened upon Bowen therapy totally by accident and am so glad I did. Louise is a gentle and understanding therapist, she really listens and makes one feel very comfortable. Bowen therapy has completely changed the quality of my life and the pain has virtually gone. I can walk without pain and am no longer taking several doses of painkillers a day. I now know much more about my condition through a combination of Bowen therapy and my spinal specialist, and how to manage it moving forward. The specialist advised me to avoid an operation at all costs and was very supportive of my using Bowen therapy.Moreexpand_more

After having pain in my knee for over 4 weeks, which left me unable to drive and carry out normal functions let alone my much loved hobbies, I visited Louise for some Bowen treatment. Her gentle, caring manner made me feel at ease straight away and I felt really safe in her hands. Two treatments later and my knee has no pain, and I am back to doing what I love. I am so grateful to her gentle touch, and would recommend her to anyone.

I have now had three treatments with Louise and it is no exaggeration to say that it has been life-changing. For years I have suffered from neck, shoulder and jaw pain, which is mainly stress-related. I would wake up every morning with a headache and it made me feel sluggish and lethargic. After a detailed consultation, Louise began the treatment. She has a gentle manner and made me feel at ease. Even after my first treatment, the effects were immediate and I felt 'lighter'. I didn't feel so achy and I felt relaxed. As Bowen works on the whole body, not only the area that is causing discomfort, I have noticed other unexpected benefits. For example, I have become more flexible and can now easily touch my toes!I have no hesitation in recommending Louise as a Bowen practitioner.Moreexpand_more

I am a hairdresser and I play the very physical sport of Roller Derby, both of which contributed to varying levels of back and shoulder pain. When I heard about Bowen, I had been seeing a chiropractor and having sports massages on and off for a couple of years, but nothing really made a difference, so I was ready to try anything. My first session evolved a extensive friendly consultation, and a very relaxing treatment. I felt a difference immediately afterwards and after a few weekly treatments the change was so surprising and made a huge difference to my well being. I would highly recommend Louise to anyone, particularly if you feel as I did. There is no need to suffer with aches and pains.
