DUBAI BOWEN THERAPY

Having completed three weeks of Bowen therapy, I have become aware of some very interesting changes. I was surprised at how tired I felt after the last treatment and took this as my body working through the treatments I have received. My lower back pain, which has been troublesome for years feels much better and I have been riding my horse without a back brace without the pain I used to experience. I can’t get over how much better my anxiety feels. Its as if space was created where I can gather a sense of perspective. My asthma feels more settled and I am not waking up with such pain in my jaw from teeth grinding.

It has been such an interesting experience as I still cannot fully understand how this works, but I certainly feel much better overall and would recommend this therapy as a way to feel a sense of balance while working on specific problems and concerns.
