From our previous blog, you’ll know that Bowen practitioners help many people who have developed problems from their work, including builders and their backs.
The week will focus on the back problems builders encounter as well as the stresses and strains on construction workers, as the building industry has the highest rate of back related injuries.
While we might all know the best way to pick up boxes safely, we tend not to think about the effect every day tasks like picking up shopping or children's toys have on our backs.
It's thought that 4 out of every 5 adults will experience back
pain at some point in their life.
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, there would be less nasty side-effects from heavy painkillers.
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.
