Joanne has been a hairdresser for her whole working life. She had noticed that at times her shoulders were very tight, which was resulting in her being unable to lift her arms without pain or stiffness. Her back felt stiff and sore and she had experienced pain on and off down the outside of her thigh over the last 3 years. On treating her I noticed that she had a tightness throughout the right side of her body and some misalignment in her pelvis.
A week later she returned for her second visit and reported that her neck and shoulders "feel so brilliant, I'm so pleased!" During her treatment I found tension in the side of her neck and at her jaw. In Bowen we are looking for the source of the pain, rather than treating the symptom, and this is one reason why Bowen can have long-lasting relief.
She returned 2 months later for a check up and top-up treatment and reported that she had no shoulders issues, and that her back was feeling fine.
