<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial;">Bowen therapy is the gentle rolling movements, which sets the
scene for the body to heal itself. It is a drug free, non-invasive treatment ‘asking’
the body to change rather than forcing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a data-mce-href="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/osteoporosis2.png" href="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/osteoporosis2.png"><img alt="osteoporosis" class="size-medium wp-image-384 aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/osteoporosis2.png?w=300" height="66" src="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/osteoporosis2.png?w=300" width="300" /></a> </div>

How well do you take care of your bone health? Osteoporosis is the condition that makes the bones weak and fragile and more likely to break or fracture. Some of the factors that cause this are ones that cannot be changed. However, promoting a positive lifestyle and treating breakages with care can help to make experience of Osteoporosis better. This is where Bowen comes in to play.<br />
<br />
20<sup>th</sup> October sees the launch of the yearly campaign by the IOF (International Osteoporosis Foundation) to promote awareness of all aspects of Osteoporosis. Pair the pain of Osteoporosis with Bowen therapy to support the campaigns strap line of ‘strong bones make strong women’.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-mce-href="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/bowen-405.jpg" href="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/bowen-405.jpg"><img alt="bowen-405" class="size-medium wp-image-385 aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/bowen-405.jpg?w=300" height="200" src="http://getyouseen.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/bowen-405.jpg?w=300" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Advice given to sufferers of Osteoporosis is to avoid negative lifestyle habits. Bowen therapy is the small rolling movements with fingers and thumbs to help you to relieve stress. Bowen is a relaxing treatment, rather than forcing the body to change Bowen ‘asks’ the body to recognise and make the changes it requires.<br />
<br />
Bowen is also useful for dealing with breakages and fractures. A patient who was suffering with problems due to breaking her neck said that “my neck muscles returned to normal and my rotations steadily improved with each session” and that she was “so impressed with Bowen”.<br />
<br />
What better timing to consider Bowen therapy than the celebration of Osteoporosis World day.

<span style="color: grey; font-family: Arial;">Bowen Therapy has
long established itself for its ability to transform the lives of patients. One
of the biggest draws to the technique is the versatility of the treatment –
each session is tailored to the individual. Because of this, it is essential
that therapists are constantly being refreshed and updated on methods of
treatment. </span><br />

The first day
features a choice of two workshops; either <br />
<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">a seminar on pregnancy and birth designed to help
take into account the processes from the baby’s point of view, or an Emm-Tech
muscle management workshop. The former will be presented by both John Wilks and
midwife Lina Clerke, who will work with the group to explore the physical
ramifications of different birthing procedures, as well as looking into issues
with fertility, conception and pregnancy. This day is exclusively for those
already trained in Bowen Therapy. The Emm-Tech seminar is a short-course on
releasing tension and tightness in eleven key muscles in the body. All of the
techniques taught have shown exceptional effects on children and no previous
Bowen experience is required. Both courses are priced at £90. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white; color: grey; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The second day is open to both Bowen and non-Bowen
therapists and consists of a timed agenda running from 9am until 5pm. Within
this time-table, there will be the speakers including a paediatric consultant
and a representative from social services. In the afternoon delegates can
choose two out of the four workshops available. The cost of the day is £85 for
BTPA members and £105 for non-BTPA members and the price includes lunch and
refreshments throughout the day. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

the mind and allows the body to actively explore its own healing process. The
technique is carried out by using the fingers and thumbs to make small, rolling

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Quitting
smoking comes with all sorts of problems, like finding an alternative to
relieving that stress. Stoptober is the national challenge to stop smoking for
the 28 days of October. While there are all sorts of products to help you quit
for Stoptober, there is a natural alternative too, Bowen Therapy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The
Bowen technique is a natural, non-invasive therapy that can help to relieve you
of stress. Be it work life, home life or a chaotic life, stress can come from
all directions. During the 30-60 minute treatment, small rolling movements are
made over muscles and soft tissue to relax the body and to ease the thought of
stopping smoking completely. Bowen is an extremely relaxing experience that can
be emotionally beneficial too.<span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">A
Bowen client expressed that Bowen was “<span style="background: white;">exactly
what I needed at a time when stress in my life has been at a peak and for quite
some time now.</span>” Figures show that if you fight the habit for 28 days,
you’ll be 5 times more likely to stop smoking all together. Combining this
statistic with frequent Bowen treatments, the process of leaving behind the
nicotine should be much lighter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The world of health and fitness is so full of
contradictions it is often hard to know what to believe. One day, sugar is bad
for our teeth; the next day, artificial sweetener is bad for our organs. We are
told to cut out saturated fat in order to reduce our weight, and then told that
low-fat options actually contain more calories. Everyone knows that exercise is
good for us, so what happens when exercising actually increases problems rather
than eliminating them? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Many people in the modern society choose
walking as a cheap and easy form of exercise – with some individuals choosing
to join walking or rambling groups which will make their walks safer, more
interesting and more sociable. It is an unfortunate consequence that extensive
walking can often lead to undesirable results such as muscle pains, foot and
ankle complications and bone issues. While these problems are usually minor,
they could be ultimately detrimental to your health and future walking
enjoyment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bowen Therapy is an alternative technique
designed to revolutionise the way that people seek treatment for a range of
ailments from exercise accidents to multiple sclerosis. One of the main draws
to the therapy is how non-invasive it is; specially trained therapists use
their fingers and thumbs to gently move over the muscles, ligaments and tendons
in a rolling motion at specific points on the body according to the individual
and the condition they are suffering from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Unlike a regular massage, Bowen Therapy
adopts a different approach by ‘asking’ the body to change, rather than using
physical force to ‘make’ the body recover. Between each set of movements, the
body is given time to relax and adjust to the new energy that it has been
given. The gentle pressure eases walking injuries and will improve future
walking ability after the initial few sessions. It is favoured among walkers
largely because there is no recovery time after each treatment, as opposed to
many other clinical or surgical procedures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: grey;">12th
August celebrates International Youth Day. The purpose of this day being to
generate awareness and direct attention towards youth issues worldwide. The
concern for the UN is to improve the situation of young people and this
explains the purpose for this special day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: grey;">With
the interest of young people being the purpose of International Youth Day, why
not think about Bowen treatment for the young ones that you love? Bowen is a
known treatment for use on the young with the aim for happier and more relaxed
children. It seeks to stimulate the muscles and soft body tissues through the
application of gentle pressure to precise parts of the body with unique
‘rolling type’ movements. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: grey;">A
child's Bowen treatment is very gentle. Many report finding it a pleasant and
relaxing experience. All treatments are carried out through light clothing,
whilst the parent/guardian remains in the room.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: grey;">Reasons
for the use of this non-invasive treatment on children include allergies, ADD,
ADHD, bed wetting, stress and chest infections to name a few. The benefits of
children receiving Bowen include improved sleeping patterns and enhanced motor
control and behaviour. Bowen treatment can help lead to healthier and happier
children with better concentration levels. So while celebrating International
Youth Day, take a look at Bowen therapy for children. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Take heed as there are some risks from suddenly becoming
much more active - properly warm up and warm down, stretch and drink plenty of
water. Push yourself as comfortable as you're happy to and remember it's about
having fun.</div>

All these activities can take its strain on the body. Bowen

Using light touches at specific points of the body, through

Between each set of moves, the body is allowed to rest for a

Why Bowen is great for both the body and mind.</h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
At the BTPA, we feel that Bowen is great, but here are the
top 10 reasons why you should think so too. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Bowen is:</div>
<br />
<br />
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Encouraging,
not invasive</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Natural
and drug-free</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Helps
aid the stress and start the relaxing</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Can
be taken alongside medicine</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">No
side effects</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">3
treatments is usually enough (with possible long-term maintenance)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Nationally
available</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Can
be used on everyone- children to elderly</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Can
even be used on animals (note - not all animals)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">An alternative
to conventional medicine</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
So in short, Bowen is a natural, drug-free, non-invasive
complementary therapy that can combat stress. Bowen takes an encouraging
approach by ‘asking’ the body to recognise and make the changes it requires
rather than ‘making’. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The treatment lasts 30-60 minutes and 3 of these treatments
is usually sufficient, with the possible need for additional treatments and
long-term maintenance. During these treatments the Bowen practitioner makes
small, rolling movements at precise points of the body over muscles, tendons,
ligaments and soft tissue, using only the amount of pressure appropriate for
the individual.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span class="detail141"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No hard-tissue manipulation or force is used and b</span></span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">etween 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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">One
Bowen client said: “</span>The results I am experiencing are beyond my expectations”.
Another said: “I will use this therapy again as it was wholly beneficial”. Read
more of these testimonials <a href="http://www.bowentherapy.org.uk/Bowen/bowen-testimonials.asp"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a>,
giving you even more reasons to try Bowen for yourself.</div>
<br />

<span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;">With the tennis season in full
swing, sport related injuries start to become an increasing pain. This year the
<st1:place w:st="on">Wimbledon</st1:place> championship runs from 24th June to
7th July. The odds on <st1:place w:st="on">Wimbledon</st1:place> aren’t looking
too good with the early exit of both Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Nadal also exited in the first round. Don’t let the odds be against you too
when it comes to sporting. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
<o:p><span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqwe5WM9p9jL81mQRBKVjf7uNq7Zkmea8xZaB94b9exFhRWzY0ZVMRjGlut_6R2xM2KEyTCsw7CZ_mAvf2tG6LOOtRF1JWhF9yf4KfxKL9f9cNdtMX0qop1t6GfwCjsQ2qaRJ6_z21rY/s420/tennis-injury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqwe5WM9p9jL81mQRBKVjf7uNq7Zkmea8xZaB94b9exFhRWzY0ZVMRjGlut_6R2xM2KEyTCsw7CZ_mAvf2tG6LOOtRF1JWhF9yf4KfxKL9f9cNdtMX0qop1t6GfwCjsQ2qaRJ6_z21rY/s320/tennis-injury.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: grey;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Bowen could be the solution to your
sporting pains. Strains and aches through playing sports? Suffering from
discomfort and muscle problems? Bowen is the gentle non-invasive therapy
through <span class="detail14">small, rolling movements using only the amount of
pressure appropriate for that individual. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span class="detail14"><o:p><span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;">Bowen can be used to ease those
sporting strains and aches. A client testimonial related to a hamstring
injury/strain states that with each Bowen treatment they felt a noticeable
decrease of pain. This client said “after one more Bowen session, I will have
almost full resolution”. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;">Another problem that Bowen can help
to relieve is the aptly named tennis elbow. Tennis elbow can result in pain
during exercise. One client said that after Bowen therapy that “All joints feel
like new!”</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: grey; font-family: Century Gothic;">So as the <st1:place w:st="on">Wimbledon</st1:place>
championship draws to a close take a look into Bowen therapy so you can start
exercising without any aches and strains. Visit their website for more

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">There is no known cure for
Cystic Fibrosis, meaning that any and all treatments currently available are to

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Along with bronchodilators
(medication that helps to expand the airways inside the lungs, making it easier

physiotherapy is used to aid clear mucus from the lungs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<h4 style="line-height: 150%; margin: 1.33em 0cm;">
<span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This week sees Homeopathy Awareness Week coming to an end. 14<sup>th</sup>-
21<sup>st</sup> June 2013. <o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<br />
<h4 style="line-height: 150%; margin: 1.33em 0cm;">
<span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As summer quickly approaches we all want to keep on top of our health to
make the most of those irregular bursts of British sun.<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Homeopathy is the ‘like with like’ treatment for illness with
highly diluted medicine. The aim of this treatment is to trigger the natural
healing process of the body. This might be of interest to those of you too
scared to try out any hard hitting medication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The term homeopathy is based on the ideas of German doctor
Samuel Hahnemann in the 1790s. It is believed by many practitioners to aid any
condition; however the most common include asthma, allergies, stress and
anxiety amongst others. Some well known users of homeopathy include David
Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman";">If homeopathy seems tempting to you, perhaps you should
consider Bowen. Similar to homeopathy, Bowen Therapy promotes the self healing
of the body. Bowen is not a forceful treatment, rather a complimentary aid to
start the natural healing of the body. Gentle pressure is applied to precise
parts of the body with unique ‘rolling type’ movements to stimulate the muscles
and soft body tissues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">After being made redundant, Kim found the
opportunity to change career path and pursue something she felt passionate
about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Kim trained and became fully qualified in
Bowen Therapy, achieving a VTCT qualification in Reflexology, Aromatherapy and
Massage therapy. She then gained further qualifications in anatomy, physiology
and emergency first aid procedures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Initially training in Bowen to work with
animals Kim first studied Bowen Therapy for people. She found the course so
interesting and inspiring (also beneficial to her own asthma), that she
dedicated herself to providing Bowen Therapy for people to this day and is
still amazed and inspired by the therapy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Now that Kim offers her own service of Bowen
therapy, she adds “I am constantly amazed at how effective this therapy is, and
delighted that my clients experience the benefits of Bowen, with noticeable
improvements in their day to day activities and function.” As well as treating
musculo-skeletal issues, Kim works with people living with neurological
problems such as MS and Parkinson's, and works with the West Yorkshire MS
Therapy Centre. She also has a number of clients living with fibromyalgia and
ME/CFS.<span style="color: #4f81bd;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Just over a year spent as treasurer for the
BTPA, Kim brings her accountancy skills, as well as energy, enthusiasm and her
love of Bowen treatment to the role. </span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I find
the experience of Bowen really relaxing, Kim made me feel completely at ease
& the fact she managed to not only get rid of the initial issue but improve
other areas of my health and wellbeing was a great bonus. Couldn't recommend
her highly enough!”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">One client that is “constantly singing Kim's
praises and the benefits of Bowen, telling everyone whatever their problem to
go and see her” is Linda from <st1:place w:st="on">Bradford</st1:place>.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Linda suffered a lot of pain in her legs and
knees and was suggested to go to and see Kim for some Bowen treatment. To
determine the route of where the pain stems from, the treatment involves
clients talking with the therapist beforehand so that they can establish the
problem areas and feel comfortable. A full consultation is undertaken to
determine the problem more fully, to include any history behind it. This allows
for a more thorough diagnosis and allows the therapist to target the problem
more efficiently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">After Linda expressed that every step she
took was painful, the gentle treatment managed to get rid of the tightness and
pain in Linda’s legs and she found that “one treatment a month it keeps away
the pain.”</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">As a result of Bowen, Linda no longer has to
worry about being in pain when getting out of chairs and can now do it with
ease. She also finds going up and down the stairs a lot easier than she used
to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Taking place in the second
week of June, International Men’s Health Week (IMHW) focuses on promoting men’s
health and wellbeing across <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Falling on the 10<sup>th</sup>
– 16<sup>th</sup> June this year, the objective is to encourage national and
international organisations to implement policies and agents that can improve
the prosperity of males within different areas of activity.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Research (commissioned by
Mind) has found that work is the most stressful factor in people’s lives. We
don’t exactly need statistics to understand that working within an institution
can stimulate pressure – especially amongst men.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The consequences of stress
can lead to the body’s mental, emotional and physical response to change from
what it’s used to. Although it is considered a normal part of life, many men
still struggle to deal with the effects and it is only then that stress becomes
a negative possession – when there is no form of relief!</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Bowen Technique is a
natural, drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can help combat
stress.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Rather than 'making' the
body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment and make the
changes it requires.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With most men
expressing that their biggest anxiety is “the pressure to be successful” in the
workplace, Bowen can be of assistance in many cases of emotional stress, where
relaxation is a prime factor in easing pain and anxiety. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The treatment is
collectively known for its soothing qualities for physical complaints and is an
extremely relaxing experience that can have many emotive benefits too. We
believe that The Bowen Technique is ideal for the promotion of men’s health and
wellbeing and is most definitely an agent that can improve the prosperity of
health within males. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Alzheimer’s is a form of

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;">As our life expectancy
increases, so do the number of cases of Alzheimer’s. It’s estimated that 1 in

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Alzheimer’s is a terrible
illness regarding the mental decay of a person and it is often presumed that
sufferers don’t feel pain as sharply as those without the disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">However, this is not the
case. Often, older people with Alzheimer’s aren’t given as many painkillers as
their peers and they find it difficult to talk about their pain, yet that doesn’t
mean it’s not there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Awareness Week; a disorder that is also diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
(CFS).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">is a long-term debilitating condition that causes
severe tiredness that doesn't improve after rest. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Although there is uncertainty around the exact
cause, it is thought it can happen after an infection, or less commonly after
trauma such as an accident or an operation. Symptoms can range from mild to
severe and vary widely person to person.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">One client who used
Bowen for CFS said: “I have long term chronic symptoms of <strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">ME</span></strong><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>&<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">FM</span></strong> for 12½ years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have tried many
therapies including Osteopathy & Acupuncture and am now trying Bowen, with
Myofascial Release, finding this to be best for helping with pain and fatigue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It’s a very
gentle relaxing technique with the energy moving sensations within the
treatment, relieving pain and feeling of "cloak lifting" from me at
the end and feeling like my legs work again, when walking out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13.5pt;">

eight weeks of physiotherapy, which at the time only provided minimal

recommended for her to receive Bowen Therapy; after three Bowen treatments
(spaced a week apart) she was able to lift her arm and maintain it in an
elevated position; after 2 more Bowen treatments she reported increased
strength in her hip and the ability to control her toes – such that she could
wear sling back shoes for the first time since her stroke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for a massage and the masseur told me about something called Bowen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Awareness Week, 7 days acknowledging an illness that affects 100,000 people in

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is
an inflammatory disease in which a substance called myelin, which protects the nerve
fibres in the central nervous system, is damaged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
Your immune
system, which normally helps to fight off infections, mistakes myelin for a
foreign body and attacks it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This damages
the myelin and strips it off the nerve fibres, either partially or completely,
leaving scars known as lesions or plaques.<o:p></o:p><br />

affects young adults but the age of sufferers can range. It is more common in
women than men and includes various symptoms.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
A person with MS can suffer almost any neurological symptom or sign,
including changes in sensation, muscle weakness and spasms, difficulties with
moving, coordination and balance, problems in speech or swallowing, visual
problems, fatigue, and bladder and bowel difficulties.<o:p></o:p></div>

Bowen Therapy is known for its healing qualities and has had amazing
results with MS sufferers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The Bowen Technique is a natural,
drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can also help people with
MS.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Rather than 'making' the
body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment and make the
changes it requires. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
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.<o:p></o:p></div>

One client with MS who used Bowen to manage
her symptoms said: “I discovered Bowen therapy
during my last M.S. episode. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
“This was a particularly bad episode and I
have been treated with steroids. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“Unfortunately I had a lot of the side
effects from the steroids and consequently I felt worse. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“I had great difficulty walking; my energy
levels on a scale of 1 to 10 were about 4. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“My hands and arms were affected with lots
of muscle spasms, which meant I was unable to write, sew or feed myself. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“Although I have a positive outlook, all the
above symptoms eventually got me down and I became quite depressed.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“Twenty four hours after my first Bowen
therapy session I felt so much better. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“By my fourth session the spasms in my arms
and hands had almost disappeared, my energy level had risen to an 8 and I

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Today sees
the start of Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">It is
estimated that around 1 in 500 people are affected by Parkinson’s disease, a
neurological disease that is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the
brain called the substantia nigra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">The loss of nerve cells
leads to a reduction in the amount dopamine in the brain. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Dopamine plays a vital role
in regulating the movement of the body and this reduction in dopamine is
responsible for many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Symptoms include involuntary shaking
of particular parts of the body (tremors), muscle stiffness that can make
everyday tasks very difficult and physical movements becoming very slow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Sufferers can also experience
non-motor symptoms such as depression, daytime sleepiness and dysphagia
(difficulties swallowing).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">There is currently no cure
for Parkinson’s disease, though a medication called levodopa has proved
effective in relieving symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Unfortunately after around

<span style="color: #2a2d2e; font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">IBS is a

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="color: black;">As the cause of

tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at precise points on the body, using only
the amount of pressure appropriate for that individual.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

'making' the body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise and make the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Water
is essential to your body's temperature regulation, keeping it cool through
perspiration. It flushes out toxins and wastes and is a major component of
blood which carries nutrients and oxygen to and from all cells.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Water provides a moist
environment for all body tissues. <span style="background: white; color: #333333;">According
to Dr. Michael Colgan if you dehydrate<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>a
muscle by only 3%, you will lose 10% contractile<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>strength and 8% of your speed.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">It is advised that you drink
at least 5 glasses of still water each day and, if you have ever had a Bowen
treatment you will know that water is especially essential before and after a
treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Before commencing treatment, the therapist may
request you drink water due to the technique requiring fully hydrated cells and
tissues.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Following a treatment, a common reaction
can be headaches - this is due to dehydration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Also, after your treatment, the
body starts to increase blood supply to nerve endings which, in turn, affects
the movement of lymph around the body. The effective functioning of these
systems is entirely reliant on water and on average the recommendation is that
everyone should drink at least two litres of water per day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">Water should be taken is small quantities in order to
avoid excessive increase in urination, therefore have small, regular sips over
the day.<span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
