Fantastic that you tried it.

I'm really glad you've given Bowen a try - I hope partially due to the mention of my website. Remember it's very important to keep up the aftercare - no hot showers, no serious stretching, no vigorous exercise - just plenty of water, don't sit in one position for more than 30 mins (on same day of treatment) and walk as much as possible. That way you are giving it the most likelihood of working.

I am bemused as why you started off on your back (e.g. working on your front). I always start on the back and put in the 'stoppers'. That is the way I and other members of the Bowen Technique Academy of Australia (Original Bowen Technique) were taught by Ossie and Elaine - who were 'taught' by Tom himself. There were 6 pupils of Tom to begin with and some of the others have also started their versions of the Bowen Technique training. However, it is very strange that the methodology is different at such a fundamental level. The 'stoppers' have to go in first, especially when treating the lower back!

Hi,

Thanks for your comment - I've got a bit more to do to update the page.

I think also you caught a mistake - I did start by lying on my front and then turning over to my back. I'll sort that out when I update the page.

Cheers - steve

My Lower Back Pain

Please note that I have no relationship with the products or services I describe here. I developed this site partly to encourage me to put more effort into fixing my own back, but also to inspire others to go take control of their own back care.

Hopefully you may find some of the ideas here useful, and maybe can discuss them with your doctor.
