Many people may know the
symptoms of Fibromyalgia but may not have heard of the condition.
Fibromyalgia is a widespread musculoskeletal pain
and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. Fibromyalgia means
pain in the fibrous tissues in the body.
Most patients with fibromyalgia say that they ache all over and are tired a lot of the time. Their muscles may feel like they have been pulled or overworked and can sometimes twitch and at other times they burn. More women than men are afflicted with fibromyalgia, but it shows up in people of all ages.

The Bowen Technique is a natural,
drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can help with fibromyalgia,
chronic pain and fatigue.
Rather than 'making' the
body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment and make the
changes it requires.
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 who
used Bowen for Fibromyalgia said: “I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2008,
after suffering for 2 years with chronic pain and fatigue.
“I had been for
massages, which hurt so much afterwards and only really helped for about a week
before the pain returned.
“One day I went
for a massage and the masseur told me about something called Bowen.
“On my first
appointment, I was asked about my health and the list of problems was long… I
sounded like a helpless case!
“I didn’t know
what to expect, but my first treatment was so relaxing. I was a little unsure
how effective it would be as it was so gentle.
“At first I was
having treatments every week, then every two, then less frequently, I now go
about 6 weeks between treatments.
“After the first
few weeks I was amazed that my levels of pain had dropped by about 50%, at
first I thought it was maybe a coincidence, and maybe I was just going through
a good spell, but almost 10 months later, I swear by it.
“I have taken
leaflets to my doctor’s surgery for them to recommend it to other sufferers,
and tell everyone how amazing it is.”
