Approximately 65% of clients the clients I see have back pain of some sort.
This may not necessarily be their primary concern but somewhere amongst everything else that maybe going on this pain is affecting their lives.
Some of the causes of back pain I see are…
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Disc degeneration
- Muscle strain
- Muscle tightness (which can lead to headaches)
- Spinal misalignment
These may caused by..
- sporting injuries
- pregnancy
- accidents (vehicle, home, holiday, activity, work etc)
- a previous operation
- degeneration due to ageing
- weight issues
- skeletal conditions
- stress
- emotions
- coccyx problems
- celvic problems
At Bowen Relief I have around a 85% success rate with achieving significant relief for the client. Sometimes this is achieved in the first or early treatments, other times it takes little longer. Occasionally however the condition is such that it is beyond what I can assist with.
Back pain most common in the lower back, but is also often noticed in the upper back and across the back of the shoulders. Less common but just as uncomfortable is thoracic region/ middle of the back.
How does Bowen Therapy work to assist with my back pain?
It is my job as your therapist to investigate all the presenting circumstances along with the greater history. It is my job to consider the obvious but also to go beyond that.
Once all the information has been given, discussed & considered the treatment is then started. This consists of gentle but extremely effective moves that manipulate the muscles in a specific sequence as determined by the situation. The application of Bowen Therapy is generally gentler than most other modalities eg massage, physiotherapy and chiropractic. This means the client does not have to endure the pain and discomfort often experienced in those modality’s treatments but still gets an extremely beneficial treatment.
It is very uncommon that Bowen Therapy cannot help with your back pain. If you are not sure, please call me for a friendly free no obligation chat.
