From Friday, you will be
able to see the Games, which include tennis, judo, athletics and diving, in
full swing.
However, if Olympians swing
a little too hard, an injury could cost their country.
Also at the 2008 Beijing
Olympics, Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai bent his right arm backwards
and collapsed whilst competing and had to be taken to hospital.
And it’s not only athletes
that could strain themselves.
During the run up to the
Olympics, the public are encouraged to get involved with a lot more sporting
activities which can lead to a lot more sporting injuries.
Typically to recover from a drastic sporting injury, months of rest and
physiotherapy are needed.
However, on top of regular
physiotherapy, Olympians (and aspiring Olympians) could benefit from Bowen
Therapy.
The Bowen Technique works to heal niggling
problems, pains or injuries in an extremely gentle but effective way.
Bowen is a natural,
drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that 'asks' the body to
recognise the ailment and make the changes it requires as opposed to ‘forcing’
the body change.
During the 30-60 minute
treatment, the Bowen practitioner makes small, rolling, movements over muscles,
tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at precise points on the body, using only
the amount of pressure appropriate for that individual.
No hard-tissue manipulation
or force is needed or used.
Between each set of moves,
the body is allowed to rest for a few minutes, to allow it to absorb the
information it has received and initiate the healing process.
One client said: “I received Bowen for a sports related prolonged groin
strain.
“The treatment
was beneficial and greatly enhanced my quick return to sport.
“Since
treatment I had had no further problems.”
