Bowen Technique for Sciatica
Sciatica can cause several uncomfortable symptoms and many sufferers have found relief with Bowen Therapy. Sciatica is the name given to any sort of pain that is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve that runs from the back of your pelvis, through your buttocks, and all the way down both legs into your feet.
The exact treatment of sciatica using the Bowen Technique will depend upon what has triggered the sciatica attack, however many patients have found that even a single session of Bowen can help relieve the pain.
Bowen will release, realign and rebalance soft tissue such as muscle, fascia, ligament and tendon and energises the circulation and lymph.
Sciatica is a very popular condition for people to come and see me with. Usually I would address the condition with Bowen but if deemed appropriate I will also incorporate Yamuna Body Rolling and possibly reiki into the session. Each treatment session is taylored to the individuals needs.
Testimonials
I have been treated by Helen for the past 2 years and really enjoy our sessions. I had immediate relief after just one session for sciatica and have continued to have treatment once per month.
Prior to seeing Helen I was taking very strong medication and couldn't walk for more than 15 minutes without experiencing severe burning pain. I am now pain free, with the odd twinge occasionally depending on my activity, and really look forward to seeing Helen every 4 weeks. Helen also treats me with Reiki and is a huge source of advice on supplements and exercises. Bowen therapy is completed with clothes on so isn't embarrassing. It is gentle but you are aware of any tightness when Helen finds it.
I always feel great after treatment and seeing Helen every 4 weeks works really well for keeping me on track.
Can't recommend enough!
