Prevent pain in your Olympic and Paralympic-inspired sporting quest!


The Olympics may seem like a distant, happy memory, but fear not, the Paralympics start today, hurray! Olympic fever is once again gripping the world, seeing us all glued to our television sets for more inspiring sporting endeavours, and glued to our computers as we frantically refresh the Paralympics website in an attempt to get our hands on an illustrious ticket to cheer on Team GB at the Olympic village.


With all this sport around, and with even more inspirational sporting stories to come, we are all no doubt feeling inspired to get active ourselves! Whether you aim to become a Rio 2016 gold medal hopeful, leader of your local gym floor, lose a few pounds or just get a little bit fitter, the incredible successes of the Olympics, and the inspirational stories of Team GB’s Paralympic hopefuls have inspired a nation to take up sport. However, with all this sport comes the possibility of sports injuries; not ideal as you start off your burgeoning sports career! With the top sporting heroes of team GB even experiencing the wrath of sporting injuries, the women’s hockey team and men’s basketball team to name but a few, the possibility of sports-related injury is one that you cannot ignore in your quest to get active.



Why not let Bowen sort out your sporting injuries and ensure that your quest to get fit isn’t hindered by pain. Bowen therapy is a technique that treats deep muscular stresses by encouraging the body to recognise its injury and heal itself, as opposed to manipulating an unnatural muscular change. This ensures that injuries are treated efficiently, and is a treatment that is a lot more effective in the long-run.

A footballer that chose to have Bowen therapy for ongoing sports-related injuries to his back, groin and leg noted how beneficial Bowen has been to his sporting performance, stating “From the time I started having treatment until the end of the season, I scored 10 in 12 and from my point of view that says it all! I also didn’t miss a game through injury.”

So why not let Bowen help you in your sporting quest? To find out more about the treatment, and how it can help not only your sports-related pains, but many more complaints, visit their website: http://www.bowen-therapy.co/

Another victory and another injury for Team GB's women's hockey


Yesterday saw yet another glorious victory for Team GB’s women’s hockey, the girls winning 5-3 over South Korea, following on from the epic hands-down 4-0 victory over Japan on Sunday. Well done girls!



But another great victory saw yet another damaging injury for the team, leaving Britain speculating whether the girls can sustain this level of success with these continual injuries cropping up. With the team’s captain, Kate Walsh, already recovering in hospital from surgery to place a metal plate into her jaw after a blow to the face in Sunday’s match against Japan, last night saw top GB scorer, Alex Danson, stretchered off the pitch in agony 3 minutes from time after sustaining a twisted ankle in a tackle. Although the girls appear to be unfazed by these injuries, failing to let it beat their great record of victories so far in the 2012 Olympic Games, it appears that the team are dropping like flies!



The girls could really benefit with a few sessions of Bowen Therapy to ensure that these injuries are treated efficiently, and that they do not affect our great chances in getting the gold! Bowen therapy is a technique that releases muscular stresses from deep within, and encourages the body to recognise its injuries and heal itself, rather than manipulating an unnatural change. This means that Bowen Therapy treats muscular injuries from deep within the muscle, leading to an efficient treatment for injury not only in the short term, but also in the long run, meaning that out injured Olympic hopefuls have a greater chance of getting back to the competition, whilst ensuring that their sustained injuries do not cause any problems in the long run.

To find out more about Bowen therapy, and to see how it can help you and your own sports injuries and much much more, visit their website: http://www.bowen-therapy.co/ Their long list of glowing testimonials speak for themselves!

We wish both Walsh and Danson a speedy recovery, and wish the girls good luck and to keep up the good work- GO TEAM GB!
