Bowen Technique Testimonials
Bowen therapy is been helping many people, see how our customers changed their lives
After being diagnosed with Forestier’s Disease (also known as Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis D.I.S.H.), a rare degenerative spinal condition, I was told that there was no treatment available other than pain medication, it was such a relief to come across Camelia. I was in excruciating pain and vert distressed that I had just been written off by the top spinal specialists.I had very limited movement and a bleak prognosis. On the first session, I would say that 90% of my muscular pain melted away. I couldn’t believe it. After following an anti-inflammatory diet and a few more Bowen sessions, I completely came off all medication and resumed a normal life. I maintain my condition with Bowen alone. I have had minor flare ups, but they haven’t been as aggressive or lasted as long. My Bowen sessions with Camelia have literally changed my life.
After suffering from severe headaches for most of my adult life & seeking assistance from my doctor to no avail I was introduced to Camelia through a work colleague. My headaches were dishabilitating & I had many days off work with them especially when I was pre-menstrual. Our first consultation involved an in-depth discussion on my medical history, diet & possible triggers of my headaches. Camelia then informed me of what the treatment entailed & anything I could do to help with the treatment i.e. reducing my caffeine intake & increasing my water intake. The treatment itself was extremely relaxing, in fact, I fell asleep at one point. It lasted approximately an hour & I felt totally confident with Camelia’s work. After one session I noticed a dramatic reduction in the intensity of any headache I had. Each session I had reduced the number of headaches I experienced & the intense pain I was getting totally disappeared. I have had no pre-menstrual symptoms since my treatment & no time off work. Camelia showed me simple Bowen Techniques that I could practice on myself on a weekly basis. (*) Bowen has turned my life around in a relatively short space of time & I would recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from similar problems.
Camelia is a great specialist and a lovely person.
D. suffering from Hay Fever, came for a Bowen treatment when on up to 3 antihistamines per day, very congested and suffering from sore eyes and nose bleeds. After 2 treatments the nose bleeds and sore eyes had reduced, only taking 2 antihistamines. After 3 treatments, only taking 1 antihistamine per day and sometimes forgetting to take the until the afternoon when noticed sneezing. No sore eyes or running nose. After 5 sessions, D. has not taken any histamine. Since the last visit, eyes are clear and no nasal congestion.
I am glad I have discovered the Bowen Technique, as it helped a lot after surgery for knee anterior cruciate ligament rupture and meniscus tear. I regained knee flexing and extension in a very short time, after a mere three sessions, not to mention restoring walking. Two and a half months after the surgery I could already run. I recommend trying with confidence the Bowen technique and I believe in the “Back on your feet!” slogan. Thank you, Camelia.
This was my first Bowen experience and I really enjoyed it. I hurt my foot while pregnant with my 3rd child so I found a lot of walking hurt. After one session the pain has not returned. I found it a deeply relaxing experience and I was a lot happier afterwards. Thank you, Camelia.
I am 83 years old and live in Tarragona, Spain. My health has been poor these many years, especially since I suffer from IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome and destroyed intestinal flora. The Bowen Therapist, Camelia Pop, recommended the Bowen Therapy and advised that this would positively aid the healing process. I began the Therapy with Camelia and after few sessions, I started to notice improvements and in a short space of time, it made me feel much better. I’m sorry she is moving to another country. I think that had we continued the treatment I would have healed completely and I am truly grateful for her help.
After recovering from a neck discectomy and in addition to being diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome I was in quite a lot of pain which has been built up and sustained over a number of years. This ranged from joint pains, tinnitus, stomach/intestinal issues, neck & shoulder pains. Although the operation to my neck was a success and freed my nerve from further damage, I had still not recovered full mobility to my left arm and have nerve damage to my right arm effecting my thumb and first finger. A friend at work recommended me to give Bowen a try after they had experienced great results, they recommended Camelia as the practitioner, and in a surprisingly short time, this has radically changed my quality of life!!! The difference within a few weeks has been unexpected and unbelievable! For the first time that I can recall I have been able to do the ironing without being crippled in pain and reaching for a selection of painkillers, this is an amazing result for me. I was taking painkillers every four hours without fail to manage the pain and at the moment, I am only taking pain killers once per day and hope further treatment may enable me to stop completely. As working mum with two active boys and the last few years have been difficult. I can now stand straight pain-free, my spine feels great, my head no longer feels too heavy to be supported by my neck. I can now lift my left arm right up to my head which I could not do before. My stomach issues have also calmed down significantly. Being able to “enjoy days” instead of “coping with them” has made such a difference to me and family life. Friends, family and colleagues have all noticed and commented on how different I look and I put this to the fact I am no longer being ruled by pain. I was sceptical at first about trying the treatment however I saw this as a chance to take because the hospital and doctors were recommending some heavy duty medication as the next step. For me the improvements happen subtly, Camelia is thorough with her questions and care, and you slowly realise “hey I awoke today and could move with little or no pain” wow. Hay I have not had to use my inhaler for a few days, wow! Before starting I was worried in case the treatment would hurt but this is not an invasive treatment and Camelia takes great care not to aggravate any pre-existing conditions. I am still under the doctor and consultant and they are pleased with the improvement and the further medication solutions have been put on hold for a further review in a few months’ time. Really looking forward to continuing with the treatment and excited to see what further improvement will happen and I cannot thank Camelia enough!.
