Fatigue and joint pain

Working with clients who have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or any other condition where the physical body is tired and in pain? The Bowen technique could be the answer. It is so gentle, no pressure on the skin, no hard manipulation – just simply absorbing the therapy into the body, waiting five minutes or more between each set of moves and then waiting a week or more between sessions.

I always start with the lower body moves and may only carry out four moves on the first session. This may be repeated on the second session and on the third I may be able to do another further two moves. The client may or may not respond and it might take a course until small changes are apparent, such as better sleep or less ache in a certain joint.

In my own experience, I have found not treating the shoulder blades until after three months greatly increases the chance of improvement in these conditions. It may simply be this is the area of most tension or because there is so much need to use the arms in everyday life – they are like the powerhouse of the body and not surprisingly, in constant use.  Hail to the Bowen technique…

Busy practice

I was very busy with clients in between Christmas and New Year. Good timing for those who were able to take that time off to pamper and treat themselves. Reflexology was the biggest hit and I was kept busy photocopying foot diagrams showing which reflexes had been worked on and any homework they could carry out on their hands - I did not press too hard on the digestive system! 

Orders were busy too including the B-Line promotion, but with a backlog of parcels especially for Scotland and Europe due to the inclement weather I would hope that most of you will receive yours by next week. I’m going to extend the B-line offer into February, while keeping it at the same price for you.

I have found B-Line Feet Treat good to apply after a reflexology treatment on dry skin areas and would advise the use of B-Line’s Anti-Stress Relaxation Oil at home after a shower particularly to massage around the feet and toe nails for any fungal problems - my toes nails are now clear.
