The Bowen Technique helps
people to lead more comfortable and fulfilling lives as the following
case studies and testimonials from Jans clients demonstrate.
TENNIS & GOLFER’S ELBOW
Male Radio Presenter aged 39
J. suffered back pain and golfer’s elbow. He reported,
“After two treatments both my back and elbow were fine. I
don’t know how it works, but the problems did not return and I
was able to play golf and football again.”
SCIATICA
Female aged 82
M. had a bad fall hurting her hip and back. She had received various
therapies, with little success until a report on a radio show
encouraged her to try Bowen. After one treatment she felt
‘normal’. Following a second treatment she was free of pain
and she said, “I found it a relaxing and enjoyable experience and
I am delighted with the result.”
SPORTS INJURIES
Male Writer/Architect, Rugby Player aged 46
R. recently damaged his back after falling out of a tree which, added
to his previous rugby injuries, made walking and sitting very
difficult. He was advised to see a Bowen Therapist and after one
treatment the pain eased, much to his relief. He had a further three
treatments, followed by regular maintenance ‘top-ups’. He
said, “although the treatment is so gentle, it certainly sorted
out my back problems!”
Many famous wellknown people have had excellent responses from Bowen to include Jamie Lee Grace amongst others.
JANS CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS 2009-10
I had a water-skiing accident over 15 year ago which left me with neck,
shoulder and elbow pain. I tried acupuncture, physio, saw an
osteopath and chiropractor none of which releived the pain. After one
Bowen treatment my daily pain was reduced, after the second the pain
had gone. I opted for a third treatment as it made me feel so good. I
only wish I'd met Jan and known about Bowen 15years ago! E F 37 Brighton
A professional and thoughtful
service with remarkable results! Within 2 sessions my back pain and
tendonitis in my shoulder had dramatically improved thanks to Jan and
the Bowen treatments. I would highly recommend it. WB Brighton (husband
of a pilates client)
Bowen has changed my life.
When I was at my lowest point physically and mentally I had my first
Bowen session and it changed my life. It made me focus on myself and
relieved the physical pain I was in and helped me to fight back winter
colds and flu. It really has changed my life. I would reccommend anyone
to go. I'm now virtually painfree and have so much more energy to
tackle anything that comes my way. I feel mentally and physically
stronger and confident. I'm definitely happier as a person. Going to
weekly pilates classes as well makes a huge difference. Bowen and
pilates really complement each other. It's a life changing expereince
that will last a long time. HK Nurse Brighton.
After spending almost 2 years
improving my core strength via the NHS, having suffered a pro-lapsed
disc in my lower back, I went to see Jan following the recommendation
from my physio and a very trusted friend. Jan taught me valuable
pilates based lessons about breathing, posture, balance and perhaps
most of all, to relax. The treatments came at a time in my long journey
of recovery where I could finally look forward to regaining the
strength to swim, go for walks, and sit comfortably again. I found Jan
to be attentive and very knowledgeable about her art. She also presents
herself as openminded and very practical - a must in this fast paced
world of ours. She also seems to have a certain degree of ingenuity
about the damage we can do to our core physical being through the
demands of an unbalanced work/life ethic. HD Brighton
After the first Bowen session
I could feel the condition of my right shoulder improved each day.
After 3 treatments the pain had virtually gone and my shoulder felt
much lighter. Even my mind seems clearer! It was extremely relaxing
during and after the session - this aspect alone exceeds all other
therapies I've tried before. Bowen Technique is a gift to human
beings and Jan certainly knows her art. Would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you Jan! JcY PhD student Brighton.
I had a stroke 6 years ago
and have ME along with many other medical problems. I met Jan at the MS
Centre in Southwick and started weekly Bowen treatments with her
about 4 months ago and am still seeing her. This treatment involves
gentle movements over the skeleton and muscle tissue. It is very
relaxing and effective in controlling pain and tension giving me more
freedom of movement. My confidence has grown and I have found Jan to be
very supportive and a wonderful listener, allowing me to talk out my
problems hwilst having a relaxing, gentle and effective treatment at
the same time. JT Southwick.
"With the combination of
Pilates and the Bowen Treatment, I have been able to forstall problems
caused by a long-standing back problem. Pilates helps me make me
more body-aware, so that I know when I need a top-up Bowen treatment to
settle my back pain. The treatment is also very gentle, even more
so than osteopathy, which can be gentle but which still can make me
feel exhausted."
Mrs S H, Winchester (Pilates client)
"Very helpful and knowledgeable. I have every faith in you."
Mrs E K,Brighton
"As a Parkinsons
sufferer, I am used to living with problems of poor movement and
balance. I was, therefore, absolutely delighted when, after only
my second treatment with Jan, I felt an immediate all-round
improvement. Although this could only be temporary, it did show that I
am responsive to the Bowen method and not only did I benefit from
further sessions, but I also intend to book more for the future."
N S, Brighton
"I found Jan to be attentive
and very knowledgeable about her art. She also presents herself
as open-minded and very practical - a must in this fast-paced world of
ours. She also seems to have a certain degree of ingenuity about
the damage we can do to our core physical being through the demands of
an unbalanced work/life ethic."
H C Brighton
"I found the treatment
non-invasive and did wonder if it would have any benefit - after the
first session it did make me tired. However, the benefits
quietly crept up on me and resolved many small issues as well as a
general uplift. It was best described as a 'good service' at
least, and at best, a form of healing."
N B Brighton (Pilates client)
"Having had a couple of quite
serious bouts of sciatica, my back remains a problem area for me.
When the lower back pain returned, three sessions of Bowen
miraculously sorted it out. I say 'miraculously' because I do not
understand how it works but 'work' it definitely does!"
J D Winchester (Pilates client)
"I recently experienced
niggling back pain that was proving difficult to get rid of, despite
continued attendance at Pilates which usually is more than sufficient
to keep my long-standing problem in check, so you suggested Bowen.
I have never experienced anything quite like Bowen before, so
wasn't sure what to expect, but I have a lot of trust in you as a
Therapist so gave it a go. After the two sessions, held a week
apart, the pain had eased significantly and I felt much more 'balanced'
both physically and psychologically. I found Bowen to be a very
relaxing, non-invasive, gentle and effective treatment and as a
therapist/teacher I always find you very 'attuned' to the needs of the
individual client - I would certainly recommend it."
N C Winchester (Pilates client)
"Through talking to Jan, I
was able to identify some areas of my health that would particularly
benefit from a Bowen treatment. These included being able to
breathe more easily when exercising. The technique itself was
fascinating, and my lungs definitely felt more open and breathing
easier for months afterwards."
Z G Brighton (Pilates client)
"I had a frozen shoulder
which I had been to other Therapists about. Although I got some
relief, it was not until I was treated with Bowen by Jan Davies that
things really started to shift. I am now a complete convert to
this therapy and would recommend it to anyone."
