BOWEN THERAPY - SOME COMMON CONDITIONS THAT RESPOND WELL (THERE ARE MANY MORE CONDITIONS, BUT THESE ARE THE MORE FREQUENT CONDITIONS I AM SEEING IN MY PRACTICE)

SCIATICA
This condition is one of the most common conditions that presents at my clinical practice.  More often than not, the symptoms start as mild irritation and over time, increase to unbearable crippling pain.  Often if a western medicine approach is taken, pain killers, anti inflammatories and physiotherapy will be recommended.

From my experience, this approach often is a 'bandaid' and invariably when a client presents to me with these symptoms, they are unable to function or have significant interruption to their daily life.  In some cases, they are struggling to walk.  As with all clients I see, I will conduct a thorough consultation before commencing any form of therapy.  During this consultation, the 'whole picture' is discussed.  Often, there will be contributing factors that have been overlooked up to this point.  Once these factors are addressed, rather than a bandaid of painkillers and anti inflammatories, with  Bowen Therapy, the symptoms improve very quickly.  Sound like the cycle you have been in?  Get your health on track now and book in to see me.

SEVERE HEADACHES/MIGRAINES

Another condition that is often so easy to address if the right approach is taken.  Again, most clients presenting with this have been 'managing' symptoms for years with pain killers/anti inflammatories and physiotherapy/massage/acupuncture, etc.  Often contributing factors are overlooked and this is the key to resolving the pain long term.  My approach includes empowering my clients with stretches and other things that will allow them to manage their symptoms at home/work, etc.  I am not about locking clients into long term Bowen Therapy sessions.  With these symptoms, most cases are resolved or able to be managed by the client within 3 sessions.  Want to feel empowered and manage your symptoms in a cost effective way?  Call me now and lets start your wellbeing journey.  Get off those medications that are not doing your long-term health any good.

RSI/CARPAL TUNNEL

This condition is another one that presents to my clinic on a reasonably regular basis.  I have had clients that advise me that they have been advised to have carpal tunnel surgery.  Yet within 1 visit, they will experience significant improvement.  In one instance, a client had a severe magnesium deficiency.  I sprayed 'Wholistic Abundance Organic magnesium oil' topically onto the affected arm, BEFORE any Bowen Therapy was given.  (I didn't advise the client this was why I applied the oil - I didn't want to suggest anything about the symptoms improving - I wanted them to notice without prompting).  The client said without being asked, ' it feels like the pain has already significantly reduced'!.  This was before they even got onto the table for any Bowen Therapy.  In this particular case the muscles were tensing up due to a magnesium deficiency.  They didn't require invasive surgery!.  Another example of a western medicine diagnosed condition resolving by addressing the underlying cause!.  It really can be this simple.

These are just a few examples of the more common conditions that present to my clinic.  There are a wide variety of conditions that Bowen Therapy in particular can assist with.  I have had clients that have been in chronic pain for years in tears after feeling the immense reduction in pain after just one session of Bowen Therapy.  It isn't a miracle cure, it is addressing the direct issues surrounding the dysfunction in your fascia.

So don't delay any longer.  Lets work on your wellbeing together and get you feeling better fast.  Stop excusing issues as being due to old age.  I feel better in my 40's than I did in my 30's, by addressing issues that were overlooked for so long.

HOW TO OVERCOME THE DAILY STRUGGLE CALLED LIFE!

​Do you remember that boundless energy you enjoyed through your teens and into early adulthood?  Before life became a case of getting through each day?  I used to look back on those days fondly, thinking why didn’t I appreciate this at the time?  Until I stumbled across some very interesting facts and people that started to open my mind and teach me that life can still be fun with energy to spare on a daily basis and not just a constant struggle to make it to the end of the day!!
 
Before I lose you, THIS IS NOT A MULTI LEVEL MARKETING OPPORTUNITY OR ME TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING, other than selling you health and wellbeing, achieved by YOU!!!!  How can this be, you ask?  Well, I believe in empowering people with the knowledge to heal and be the best person they can be.  I’m not about getting people to spend oodles of money and repeatedly booking in to see me for treatments, withholding tools and information that can get them to a better place.
 
So…….what’s the secret?  It really is quite simple.  Eat well, drink lots of water, address any deficiencies and exercise.  Sounds easy in theory, but then you add in life and things become trickier don’t they?
 
YOUR FOOD SOURCE
 
DON’T LEAVE YET!  I can explain how this can assist you in being the best person you can be.  Firstly, I want to outline one thing that can be easily changed and ‘tweaked’!.  Your food.  I am in my forties now and gradually over the years I have watched our food source become less transparent with the labeling and laden with the most awful additives, colourings, flavor enhancers, antibiotics, etc.  I remember a time when manufacturing companies made food and you could trust what was listed on the label.  Most of the additives nowadays weren’t even available back when I was a kid, so any processed foods, still contained basic ingredients.
 
Remember when your grandmother would cook with Tallow or lard?  Now considered an artery clogger and frowned upon by modern medicine?  Tallow, to use as an example of those ‘old school’ traditions, that has gradually been lost, has so many wonderful qualities and health benefits.  Have a read of this article if you wish to learn more:

Another very old traditional food that seems to have been lost over the years is homemade stock.  Or now referred to in the natural industry as Bone Broth.  Life is too busy for most now to have the time to cook their own bone broth, let alone trying to find the free range or organic bones required to do this.  The store bought bone broth or stock is laden, again with flavor enhancers, preservatives and colourings.  It also does not contain the amazing collagen etc, that is obtained from cartilage, and much more, that gives that ‘jelly like’ consistency that homemade bone broth contains.  Did you know that this ‘jelly like’ substance helps to maintain your gut health and in turn, this assists with your immune system and also absorption of nutrients?  If you wish to learn more about making your own bone broth and the healing properties of this liquid gold, visit this site:

(I keep glass jars of this in my freezer for times of illness in my family and make chicken soup with this, very handy to have on hand and can also be used in cooking etc).
 
If you were looking at starting on a journey of health and wellbeing, these two things alone can help turn your health around.  But read on, I will also explain one other thing that can really be a big game changer!
 
Your meat source.  Whether you eat chicken, beef, lamb, pork or fish, these need to be bought from a trusted source.  Now this industry for me, has seen the biggest changes since I was a child.  I remember a time, as a child, when you had to really work mince down when you were cooking it as it was so viscous and difficult to separate.  I bought mince from the regular supermarket for years and then started splurging on the Woolworths Macro Organic mince thinking I was buying a better product.  What would happen with one pack of this mince in the cooking process was disappointing to say the least.  I would start off with a decent bulk of mince, but gradually as it cooked down, I would end up with what only could be referred to as mush.  It was so unappetizing, my family would complain that these mince dishes were ‘soggy’!  Very disheartening to say the least when I am trying to cook flavourful nutritious meals!.  There was no indication on the labeling to explain this issue.  However, I am of the firm belief that water (I have no doubt tap water too!!!) was added to this mince in the processing stage to ‘bulk’ the product up which would yield a better return financially for woolworths.  I stopped buying this mince and started sourcing all my meat from farmer’s markets.  I would strongly encourage people to start sourcing their produce from farmer’s markets.  These are popping up all over the Perth metropolitan area on many days, offering the opportunity for most to access them.  Visit this website to find the closest farmer’s market to you:
