'About two years ago, I was suffering from a stiff shoulder, cranky hip and bad cramp at night, together with other aches and pains. It was suggested that Bowen could help and, over the next few months, I had regular treatments from Alison. These treatments consisted of gentle movements and lasted up to 45 minutes. My mobility improved greatly and I was able to reduce my painkillers.  I now have a monthly treatment to maintain my present fitness and address any niggles.
I am very happy with her punctuality, professionalism and demeanour and would recommend Alison’s Bowen treatments to anyone suffering pain and discomfort.
I am approaching my 80th birthday, but most of my friends think I am much younger, due to my body's flexibility: so, with Bowen's help, definitely Spring Chicken!'

"I had been struggling with sciatica for over a year. I had pain in my hip and leg and found walking any distances painful.

​

Sleeping on my right side was also not possible due to the pain I experienced and I would wake up multiple times. This is when Bowen was recommended to me.

I had never heard of it so did some research and booked an appointment with Alison. At my first consultation Alison explained what the process was  after taking a history from me, within days I noticed an improvement in mobility and the pain had reduced.

I now have regular treatments to relieve the pain and help with mobility.

Alison is professional friendly and made me feel relaxed in my appointment always assessing each time and arranging a plan for my treatments so
I would recommend Bowen and Alison as a therapist."

'I woke up one morning basically unable to move my left arm – I couldn’t type and couldn’t drive. Luckily Alison was able to fit me in quickly – the treatment was very relaxing and completely painless. By the end of my first treatment, I was able to move my arm a little and the treatment continued to take effect over the next week. I was able to drive again within 4 days and by the time I saw Alison again, a week later, I had better movement in my shoulder than I’d had for months or maybe even years! The niggling pain/ discomfort between my shoulder blades that I hadn’t been able to shift for ages was also gone and thankfully hasn’t returned. I’ve since been recommending Alison to all my family and friends.'

'Bowen is amazing, I have had a Bowen treatments for different things but I think the most mind blowing being for chronic migraine and I mean totally debilitating unable to function neurological migraine that I have suffered all my life. I have had numerous drugs from the doctor over the years but to no avail. A Bowen treatment can send it on his way within hours instead of the normal 4 days. Regular treatments seem to stop them from happening at all. I'm so grateful I discovered this amazing therapy.'

'I had been kicked by a horse on my outer thigh so hard it lifted me off the ground and threw me. It hurt so much to bear any weight on it or even just to move it. I was limping all of the next day until Alison gave me a Bowen treatment. It had been 24 hours since the kick and to my complete amazement I got off the treatment table with almost no pain and barely a limp. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Bowen therapy is truly a great healer
and I recommend it very highly to all my friends.'

I began Bowen treatment with Alison in October 2023. I was told in 2016 the only option to relieve my hip pain would be surgery which I was against due to problems during surgery a couple of years prior, so I wanted to avoid surgery. In October 2023 the pain was getting worse, my friend recommended Bowen with Alison to see if it would relieve the pain. I have not looked back since starting treatment I am now pain free most of the time with regular visits. Having not used Bowen before I went in open minded, I can honestly say it has changed my life.

We started weekly visits for the first 3 weeks then went to monthly, my body responds amazingly every time. Alison made it very clear she doesn’t just treat the problem; she treats the body as a whole. My whole body feels more relaxed with improved mobility throughout with a better posture. I run 3 times a week and go to the gym 4 times a week being in constant pain hindered my ability to exercise and limited what I could do but now I run pain free and my PT has noticed how much more flexibility I have now in my whole body. I had Long Covid for a year and 2 years on I was still suffering every few weeks from what I used to call “my covid days”, these were days where I would experience covid symptoms without having covid, since starting Bowen I have not had one “covid day”. The other major change I have noticed is a vast improvement in my menopause symptoms, Alison does manoeuvres to help my hot flushes as well as help improve my sleep both of which have vastly improved.

Alison always makes me feel welcome and explains what she has done and continuously asks me throughout the treatment how I am feeling and how my body is responding to the treatment.

If I ever have any niggles between treatments Alison is always at the end of the phone to advise. The studio is very clean and tranquil and makes me feel relaxed. 

I started Bowen to relieve my hip pain but it has had such a positive impact on my whole body. I would recommend Alison to anyone who is considering Bowen, for me it really has changed my life and is now something I plan to keep up monthly long term to keep me pain free and feeling better.

'I had my first Bowen treatment on 20/1/2015 for referred pain in my back and knee. I stopped taking my painkillers immediately as a test ( i was taking naproxen and 8 co-codamol a day) and haven’t taken one since.
I really don’t understand the science of how it works but all I know is that I have been on painkillers of varying strengths for 20 years and within a week I became pain free and have continued to be so ever since.
I am due to have my hip replacement next week and will continue with Bowen to aide my recovery.'

'Due to her age and previous injuries, Dolly has arthritis and muscle tension which cause her a lot of difficulty  day to day.  However, some years ago, Alison introduced us to Bowen and I can't tell you just how much this has helped improve Dolly's quality of life. Its totally non invasive, enjoyable for Dolly and in fact she goes to sleep during most treatments.  In our case, the improvement each time is immediate with Dolly much happier and her movements are visibly so much better.  I have no hesitation in recommending Alison's bowen treatments.'
