Testimonials
I have for a long time suffered from sciatica with the corresponding back and leg pain. I like walking and working my springer spaniel and found that I was gradually losing the flexibility and mobility that made these pastimes enjoyable...
My wife knew that my increasing stiffness and consequent discomfort and pain needed treatment. Conventional therapy had mixed success in the past so she did some research and uttered the fateful words "I have made an appointment for you". This was my introduction to Bowen Therapy and Jennifer Webster. Jennifer explains and administers the therapy in a friendly but professional way and explains the theory behind it very clearly. The treatment was non intrusive and non-embarrassing. Precise touches and light manipulation separated by periods of rest nevertheless caused a tangible reaction. I felt much more flexible and ache free immediately afterwards. This did not last however and a couple of days later I did feel quite sore but this seemed part of a healing process. Within a day or so I felt much better than before. This has continued to be the trend with a very steady but noticeable improvement after every treatment which has resulted in a big improvement in my flexibility plus a substantial reduction in the pain I have been experiencing.
I am pleased that my wife was more open minded than me and, with respect to Bowen Therapy, I am a reformed cynic.
I would just like to say how much Bowen Treatment has helped me. When I first came to you, I was having aches and pains all over, especially in my neck and in my knees...
I am pain free and my general health seems to be so much better. I can't explain what has happened! All I can say is thank you Jen for changing so many negative things and making everything much more positive for me.
'A Brilliant Bowen therapist' - Jen sorted out my back problem which enabled me to train for, compete in and successfully complete the New York marathon.
I first encountered this procedure about 8 months ago when I suffered badly from tennis elbow and physiotherapy did not appear to address the problem. I had a consultation with you at your treatment rooms and subsequently submitted to three sessions of treatment...
Initially, I was unsure, as I was unfamiliar with the method but after a few minutes I completely relaxed and felt "Quietly at peace" with myself. Subsequently before each visit I felt myself enjoying the whole experience. I was unprepared for such a rapid improvement in my symptoms and within three sessions my elbow was completely back to normal without the slightest twinge or pain.
Several months later I endured a pulled tendon in my hand which was sufficiently painful to warrant strapping and medication and I was advised that it would take six weeks and a course of physiotherapy to correct the problem. I attended one treatment using the Bowen technique and found after 2-3 days that my wrist has become more flexible and the pain has disappeared.
I cannot recommend this treatment too highly and feel this to be a suitable alternative, for similar complaints, to lengthy physiotherapy courses and continual tablet taking.
I'm a builder and had never ever had any form of alternative treatment, rarely even going to the doctors - Jen persuaded me to try Bowen for chronic shoulder and arm pain. After 3 sessions over a few weeks the pain level decreased dramatically. However, to my amazement after Jens' consultations and Bowen therapy she was able to address knee pain, which has disappeared and I realised after her treatments that I no longer suffer with excruciating eye pain that I have had for 20 years!
My knee had been increasingly uncomfortable for several weeks. I was conscious that my walking was being affected by my reluctance to put weight on that joint .I had reached a decision to visit my G.P. to ask for advice/help.
Jen offered some Bowen treatment to help with the problem. After the initial session my knee joint felt relaxed and very comfortable. It was a miraculous relief from the pain and discomfort I'd, 'put up', with for so long. I was amazed that such a simple treatment was so effective.
'Absolutely brilliant! I'd been in agony for months. After the first session I immediately had much more movement in my lower back and hip and by the end of the 3rd session the pain was a distant memory. I particularly liked the way that Jennifer explained the Bowen treatment - I felt I was in safe hands.
I believe in Bowen - yes I have had Bowen treatment too, and it really works! I had treatments in January (2010) for a fractured shoulder - an injury which could only heal by itself. I had 3 Bowen treatments which gave immediate relief from pain and increased flexibility. Both my orthopaedic consultant and physiotherapist, independently, were amazed by the speed of my recovery
