It’s an opportunity for those with plots to show off
their hours of hard work and those without allotments to put pressure on local
authorities to supply further plots.
Those of you that are green-fingered will
know that gardening and tending to an allotment can be tough on your muscles
and joints, causing strain and excess muscle tension.
Back pain is a common problem for keen
gardeners and allotment-keepers.
Bowen
Therapy is a natural, drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that has
had some marvellous results with back-pain sufferers.
A national study, carried out by The
Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA) in the summer of 2006, showed
that 95 per cent of back pain sufferers experienced either complete relief or a
marked improvement, after a series of no more than three Bowen treatments.
As it prides
itself on being able to trigger
the body’s own healing systems, you wouldn’t suffer any of the side effects
that you may with prescribed drugs.
Rather than 'making' the body
change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise and make the changes it requires. With primarily fingers and
thumbs, 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.
