| Sex: | FEMALE | Age: | 17 | Treatments: | 4 |
| Synopsis | Samantha’s
GP diagnosed a suspected trapped nerve. An area around her right
scapula was raised, appearing to be in spasm. After the first
treatment, she experienced extreme pain. However, within 2 days
that had subsided. After the second treatment she reported no
apparent pain or problem but just a slight stiffness. After the
third treatment the stiffness had gone and a pain free state
was holding. |

| Synopsis | Shelli
is now age 28, but when she was 20 she developed problems that
left her exhausted all the time and with serious problems in
her right shoulder including pain and loss of mobility. and pain.
Among the diagnoses she was given were fibromyalgia and frozen
shoulder. In efforts to find relief during the next seven years,
Shelli had cortisone injections, strong pain killers, aromatherpy,
massage, reflexology, osteopathy, cranio-sacral therapy and physiotherapy
at the hospital. Nothing helped. Finally, in June 1999, she went
to see Bowen therapist Paula Esson. Paula gave her 4 treatments
and the problems were resolved, mobility back, pain gone and
decent sleep! Shelli was so amazed and impressed with the experience
that she is now training with E.C.B.S. as a Bowen practitioner
herself |

| Ailment | NECK/SHOULDER INJURY | ||||
| Sex: | FEMALE | Age: | 43 | Treatments: | 3 |
| Synopsis | “I
recently had the Bowen treatment for a stubborn and painful
neck/shoulder injury, which I have suffered from for over three
years. Although I was very sceptical at first - after all,
how could so small and gentle a movement make such a difference,
when all other treatments I had tried via my GP’s recommendations
had only eased the symptoms for a short time. I was amazed
at the incredible results, even after only the first proper
treatment on my neck and shoulders.” |

| Ailment | GOLFER’S
ELBOW, FROZEN SHOULDER & MIGRAINE |
||||
| Sex: | FEMALE | Age: | 48 | Treatments: | 3 |
| Synopsis | M. was suffering from neck
pains, migraines (up to two a week) and ‘creaky
knees’. A former frozen shoulder had recently developed into a ‘golfer’s
elbow’ and she had been referred on by a reflexologist. During the
first treatment she felt that her neck kept ‘extending’ and
her elbow started to free up. After four sessions her energy level was
good, the shoulder was no problem, the migraines had stopped and the knees
were better. Still a little soreness in the elbow, but a year later she
is ‘feeling fine’. |

| Ailment | FROZEN SHOULDER | ||||
| Sex: | FEMALE | Age: | 48 | Treatments: | 3 |
| Synopsis | Susan’s
doctor diagnosed frozen shoulder and sent her for cortisone injections,
of which she had many. The problem would subside somewhat but
always came back. Susan was a keen tennis player and, of course,
could now no longer play. After two years of this, she was sent
to a specialist who then diagnosed bursitis. He told her that
she would have to have injections for the rest of her life to
manage the condition. At this point, depressed and feeling written off by the medical practitioners who could offer nothing but cortisone injections, Susan decided to try The Bowen Technique. Two Bowen treatments resolved her frozen shoulder and she has had no problems since - and is playing tennis again very happily. |
