People with Fibromyalgia are seeing great results after Bowen sessions…
As you probably might guess we can’t claim Bowen cures Fibromyalgia… But we can’t deny how many people affected by this chronic condition have changed their lives with the help of Bowen technique! This is the reason why I love working with people affected by Fibromyalgia. When they come to me for the first time for Bowen they have usually more symptoms: aches and pains, tight chest, tummy problems and tight abdomen, bloating, headaches, sleeping problems, tiredness/fatigue…
Because of these reasons, some people cannot even work whereas those who are less affected can work. However, after work they can feel so exhausted when they are returning home, they need to have a sleep before they can even prepare their evening meal.
After the first session […] I slept like a baby and anyone with Fibro will know that is huge. After the next session, the fatigue was lifting and my daily ‘exhaustion’ nap after work was a thing of the past. I clearly remember after the 3rd session I felt so euphoric on the way home, the sun was shining and the realisation that I felt as well in that moment than I had in 20 years. said one of the ladies I’ve been working with.
The first thing that we usually notice after a few Bowen sessions is that they have more energy and need less sleep during day time. Everyone responds different, there is not a body like another, but usually we can see improvements on several aspects of the condition: pains reduce; according to their doctor they reduce also the medication/painkillers, less tightness, they can stand and walk longer, feel happier, better mood…
The Bowen moves are so gentle and I remember a few patients who were afraid even the gentle Bowen moves would hurt them. Some of them can’t even have a massage because that would increase their pains. But with Bowen it was the opposite, they enjoyed every single session and got so relaxed during it that they felt asleep or drifted for most of the sessions.
Suffering from Fibro made me dread that it may be a full-on massage, however, I need not have worried. The procedure is so gentle I wonder how it even works. says a beautiful woman who just changed her life with Bowen.
Here is what patients with Fibromyalgia wrote from their own experience with Bowen.
[…] I was living in constant chronic pain, sciatica and pain in 16 out of the 18 trigger points, and suffered from fatigue which meant I would sleep for 3-4 hours every afternoon (sometimes longer). I have tried every method of treatment available – physiotherapy, acupuncture, injections, even surgery but nothing has worked before Bowen, and I’ve been left managing my pain through high doses of strong medication. I was extremely sceptical about whether Bowen would be effective but had nothing to lose by trying it. […] I cannot believe how much life has changed for me – there’s been a great reduction in my pain and I have more energy, I no longer need to sleep every afternoon. I’ve reduced my medication. Friends and family can’t believe how much I’ve improved – Bowen has given me a quality of life back! I wholeheartedly recommend people to try it.
I have suffered for many years with Fibromyalgia and general illness associated with this condition. After being recommended by a work colleague who had great success with his treatment I visited Bowen practitioner Camelia Pop. I had visited several times and after managing years of pain I was amazed at the improvements in my all round well being. My pain reduced to a level where I no longer have trouble with walking and standing. A huge Thank You to Camelia.
If you are not sure, give it a try, as it’s a noninvasive and complementary therapy. Some of my patients first come to me and say, ‘I’ve nothing to lose so giving it a try’ and get great results! Maybe Bowen is just right for you, but you will only know if you give it a chance and you might be one of the many people who feel good again, younger and find that you can start doing the things that you enjoy again.
I would love to be able to help you in your journey towards a better you so just call me on 07530284930 to discuss what Bowen may do for you.
