Bowen Featured Therapist - Lin Gregory



Lin Gregory worked in commercial business management before starting work in the complementary health field in 1995.


She initially worked with musculo-skeletal problems using Remedial and Acupressure Massage. It wasn’t until she suffered a shoulder injury and was told she required surgery that she discovered Bowen.
Looking for a different approach to the injury, after all other avenues had failed, she found a Bowen therapist who resolved her frozen shoulder within three treatments.
Lin was so impressed at how gentle and effective her treatment was that she decided to add Bowen to her therapy tool box and trained in Bowen Therapy with the European College of Bowen Studies.
She has since trained in another four different types of Bowen, as well as an advanced post graduate course to enable her to manage more complex problems.

Bowen is a continually developing therapy and Lin, who is also qualified in Anatomy and Physiology and First Aid, is constantly updating her knowledge.
Lin moved her Bowen practice from Berkshire and has been established in Hastings, St Leonard’s, Bexhill and Battle since 2005. She works primarily with Bowen, using her knowledge of other therapies to support and complement her work.

One person who has had great results with Lin is Mark.
Mark said: “I was recommended to Bowen by my homeopath 3 years ago as I was always getting injured from my recreational running. The injuries were in my hip joints, knees, shoulders and back! These injuries stopped me from running as I became sick of the pains.

After my first visit my body seemed to rewind, all my aches and pains went away in the reverse order they had appeared. After 4 days I felt quite balanced and pain free.”
Bowen practitioners also provide advice on how you can help control your problem outside of therapy sessions.

Mark said: “On Lin’s advice I started to swim and cycle as ‘running is not a balanced exercise’ before starting to run again.
"I have completed several running races from 5K’s to half marathons and now compete in triathlon at sprint distance. Lin and her Bowen technique has enabled me to run pain free and also introduced me to Tri.

"As well as helping me be able to run again, Bowen has also helped my Asthma and hay fever! I used to have monthly reflexology treatments and monthly massage but I find I do not need them all the time.
"I see Lin every 5-6 weeks and I call her a white witch as her treatments are magical.

"Thanks Lin!”

  1. A good Bowen therapist is considered a facilitator and not a healer because it is the patient's own body that does the work. Bowen therapy is quick, cheap and effective in treating a number of ailments.
