Migraine vanished!

The most dramatic use of my Amega Amwand recently was in the case of a woman who has frequent migraine headaches. When I greeted her in the reception area, she was holding her head in her hands because the light increased her discomfort. Before we began our bodywork session, she reported her headache pain being a 10 on a scale of 0 to 10 (10=most painful). Before starting the Bowen Therapy treatment, I used the Amwand, moving it in a clockwise circular motion around her head. She could feel the energy of the wand, stating that her headache was subsiding a little.

I used the energy wand at different intervals during the Bowen Therapy session. At the end of her treatment session, she stated that her pain had subsided to a 3 on a 0-10 scale. The next morning an excited client called to say that her pain had TOTALLY disappeared. And her most remarkable comment was that these headaches usually last for 7 or 8 days. It has been about 6 months, and this client has not needed to come in again for another treatment for headaches.

I’m sureI have never had migraines, but I experience headaches as an on-going lifestyle almost all of the time—a long time ago I simply accepted it with a self-resolution to be Tough. These are greatly exacerbated by arthritic pain in my neck(C3).Chiropractic helps, but only in a temporary way. I wonder if Bowen could alleviate this too with some permanence?

Are you for Healthcare Reform?

Bowen Therapy, Health News / By admin

I don’t know about you but for me, I don’t want the federal government to say I have to buy health insurance. People should be able to make this decision on their own. As insurance premiums rise, more people are choosing to be proactive in their approach to health care, meaning they are all about prevention rather than “fixing it once it’s broke.” It’s less expensive to take care of good health.

A proactive approach includes getting plenty of daily exercise, rest, hydration, and good nutrients through a healthy diet. If everyone did this, we’d need insurance less. And perhaps with less use of insurance, except for routine visits, our premiums would go down.

I like the idea of a Health Savings Account because it can be used for anything related to healthcare: chiropractic, acupuncture, massage (including Bowen Therapy), etc. (for prevention and maintenance, as well as for rehab). Of course, these accounts are usually only offered along with a health policy. But at least you can choose a high deductible and low premium, if you are relatively healthy and not likely to make a claim.

Traditional insurance companies are slowly but surely being forced by the public to include alternative healthcare. But we are not quite where we want to be with this. There are only a few insurance companies right now that I am aware of that will reimburse my clients when they come to see me for a Bowen Therapy session.

If we all join efforts and continue to place a demand on our insurance companies to cover more alternative therapies, they will do it eventually. Until then, I’ll spend my money on natural therapies designed to work with my body’s systems — not against them — to keep me in optimal health. In other words, if I have a thyroid problem, I don’t want to have it surgically removed or take a drug to shut it down and do the job it should be doing. Both of these choices have a detrimental effect on other organs and systems of the body. Instead, why not take an herbal remedy to nourish, strengthen, and build up the thyroid’s energy in order to salvage it so it works in harmony with the rest of the body?

Let’s use our hard-earned dollars toward maintenance and prevention so we won’t need health insurance except for catastrophic situations and emergencies (which are rare if we are taking good care of ourselves).

I think westerners are veryclose minded about any form of ancient/chinese medicine. They (I mean we, I am British) forget that we didn’t know what electricity was 200 years ago. There are more forms of energy to be explored and I think we need to think about science from as many angles as possible.

Fortunate I found a link to this site in Bing quite accidently. I’d never have found this useful site otherwise.

Bowen Therapy for Children

Children - ADD/ADHD / By admin

Bowen Therapy is well-suited for children for so many reasons. It can be done with very gentle pressure and still be effective. It is done with clothing on, making them feel more comfortable. Children are generally more active, thus helping the energetics of the therapy to work better and faster. They do not have ideas about whether a treatment is going to work or not. Their minds don’t really go there. So, they tend to be more receptive than adults. Adults can be rather skeptical, especially if they have tried everything and to no avail.

I have seen remarkable results using Bowen Technique with children who have ADD or ADHD, autism, sensory integration problems, asthma, constipation and, of course, acute injuries to name a few. In a typical Bowen session, there are required breaks, or pauses, between some of the procedures within a session. But with children, the breaks are not needed because they process the nerve stimulation much more quickly, so the therapy session is over in less than half the time of an adult’s session.

Children report back to me, saying they are able to concentrate at school better and feel less anxious. Parents see a difference in their attitudes in that the children are easier to be with and are much more cooperative. Tasks at home and at school which had been a problem in the past seem to be done with ease after getting a treatment. The children tend to be willing to eat healthier because their glandular systems become more balanced. They don’t crave the snack foods and sugar so much.

Acute injuries – e.g., recent muscle pulls and strains, sprains accompanied by swelling – are resolved much quicker than in an adult having the identical injury. So, for young athletes, this is a great treatment, as it rarely takes more than one session to get back into their athletic activity after an injury.

If you know an athletic child or one who is accident prone, their parents may want to know about this gentle but profound treatment which quickly resolves injuries by unravelling neuromuscular compensations, activating the nerves and sometimes creating new nerve pathways.
