Bowen Therapist of the week: Martina Grubmueller

Martina has been performing Bowen therapy since 2005 and been a member of BTPA since December 2010. Martina first came across the Bowen technique when a close friend who had trained in Australia offered her a treatment, as she had always suffered from multiple ailments. At first Martina had thought nothing of it as the treatment was so gentle, then a month on she noticed significant changes in herself, especially effecting her monthly cycle. Martina was so amazed by the results she decided to become a practitioner herself. Martina has said, “Bowen has changed my entire career path and I am eternally grateful for it!”

Here are a selection of testimonials from some of Martina's clients who had come to her with various ailments;

Hypermobility

My son (3 years old) has low muscle tone and hypertonia - otherwise known as hypermobility, this led to him being diagnosed by doctors with a "Global Developmental Delay".

The two together resulted in him being unable to move around and walk as early as other children and therefore had a knock on effect on his Gross Motor skills and subsequently Fine Motor skills development.  He drools (due to low facial muscle) and can be quite unsteady on his feet (due to extreme flexibility).  He was having trouble with co-ordinating both hands and general dexterity.

Bowen therapy "globally" addressed the situation and had quite a profound impact on almost all areas of is development. Not only did his mobility and balance improve but his dexterity and hand eye co-ordination as well as his comprehension and speech. I noticed a distinct difference in his awareness and general mood, I felt more connected to him and as a result we are calmer and he sleeps better. I also found he co-operates more and is certainly more aware of is surroundings. We have more work to do but he is making great progress and I would highly recommend Bowen to any parent concerned that their child could do with a friendly shift/ boost in the right direction. Clare N, London

Chronic Back Pain/ Pregnancy

I started receiving Bowen treatment nearly 3 years ago following a recommendation from a physio friend who thought if would help with an ongoing chronic back complaint.

As soon as I started treatment I notice an improvement in my back condition. I felt it worked straight away, experiencing sensations in my body which indicated to Martina where I needed additional work.

I continued treatment throughout my 2^nd pregnancy, which contributed to an easy and straight forward pregnancy and labour.

I have monthly sessions to keep my back in good working order and for general well-being. I always look forward to my treatment as they are very gentle and holistic, resulting in a very relaxing experience.

I would highly recommend Bowen to anyone with an ongoing condition and to maintain overall good health.

Martina puts you at ease and really understands and supports her clients. It is a wonderful treatment, which until you experience it, is hard to describe. Rachel R, London

Chronic lower back pain

In 1997 I had a number of accidents that left me with a chronic lower back problem. I have had various interventions over the past 12 years including courses of treatment with chiropractors and osteopaths. I was however Bowen healing with Martina Grubmueller that resolved the structural issues. I have been pain free for a number of months now – to the degree that I can now undertake massage treatments without stress or pain. If you feel that your body is ready to heal, I would recommend Martina as a professional and grounded Bowen Practitioner. Sue H., Liverpool

Shoulder pain

Message: Hi Martina, 

You asked me to let you know how my shoulder was following our taster treatment at the Natural Health Fair in Tolworth. Well, it’s good! I don’t have the stiffness associated with the shoulder and mobility is good. Thank you very much for your time and energy, and for helping my shoulder find balance again. Ladio M, London

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

I have heard of the Bowen Therapy sometime ago and of its beneficial treatments. Yet I never thought of learning little more about its system until this year when after a long illness, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. At that time I was very lucky to be introduced to a Bowen Therapist living and operating in my area, Mrs. Martina Grubmueller, who so kindly applied her skills on my body and managed after two sessions of therapy to make me feel considerably better, and on her third session my IBS complaint completely disappeared and I was well again, well and fee to eat all kind of food I used to eat before.

Lately, after my visit to my Medical Centre for a check-up they found out that my blood pressure was considerably high; I visited again my Bowen therapist for a “well being” session and after a week to the surprise of my doctor and mine, the blood pressure had dropped again.

I am so lucky and happy to have discovered the Bowen Therapy and especially Martina who with her gentle touch, sweet smile and kind approach is creating little miracles. Mrs. Vanda D, Kingston Vale

Frozen Shoulder

I had quite a few Bowen treatments from Martina especially for my Frozen Shoulder. Following these Bowen treatments my shoulder movements improved significantly and there was a marked reduction in the pain as well. Recently I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy. This left me feeling shocked and worried. The Bowen treatments prior to my surgery certainly helped me with my speedy recovery and I am extremely happy with the outcome. D, London

Wrist pain

“I was slightly apprehensive of the treatment at first as I am not exactly a ‘new age person’. However, I had heard good things and wanted to give it a try. Martina was very welcoming and warm and instantly set me at ease. The Bowen treatment was very peaceful and pain that I had been feeling in my right wrist started to fade away as my nervous and muscular system relaxed under her skilled hands. We have also done some NLP therapy to help me deal with a couple of insecurities and I am really looking forward to my next session." William B, London

Overall well-being

I was going though a very emotional time in my life and needed a boost both physically and mentally.  I saw Martina for a few Bowen sessions. She worked on not only the physical aspects but the mind / body connection which has made huge improvements to my health and my mental state.  I am feeling much more positive and my energy levels have improved greatly!  She is very warm and instantly puts you at ease - I would recommend her to any of my friends!  Thank you, Deborah
