If your answer is yes, the answer could also be Bowen Technique!
For many, they have not heard of Bowen Technique despite it being a popular treatment since the mid 1900s
when Thomas Bowen devised it.
As of June 12th 2023 I will not be taking on new bowen clients . The link below will help you find a pracitioner.
Service as normal for existing or previous clients.
"Sue Woodriffe has the lightest, kindest touch in her hands and an intuitive measure with which she performs Bowen. As I write this, I can hardly believe that there was a time when I shuffled through her doors, hardly able to move with back pain, as her treatment of me has now given me such freedom in movement and put me back in the flow. What a gift she has. Thank you Sue"
Bowen Technique or Bowen Therapy basically involves very gentle movements on the skin surface without crunching or clicking of bones. These light moves over muscles, tendons and nerves also work on the fascia, a band or sheet of connective tissue fibres that forms beneath the skin. It attaches, stabilises, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs. So, it’s rather like drawing a bow over a violin string making the whole string vibrate. One move over the fascia in a specific place can have effects elsewhere.
The practitioner leaves the room from time to time to allow the body to process the changes taking place. By leaving the room even the primitive reptile part of the brain that is always on the lookout can relax to allow the full benefit.
Bowen Technique is an extremely versatile procedure that can be applied for many different situations depending on your needs.
Ultimately Bowen Therapy helps the body to balance and realign itself on many levels. A truly holistic therapy!
This morning I am remembering the many sessions of Bowen I have received from Sue for back pain and my sacro-illiac/hip/pelvic girdle pain.... Bowen has always been brilliant for recurrent back issues and Sue's total allowance of my emotional state whatever that was and her ability to witness and hold the vision of my potential has been a potent force along my healing journey.
This winter I contracted a lung infection that went on for 2.5 months. I didnt know that Bowen could also be utilised to unstick lungs....once Sue got hold of me, it took just two sessions of Bowen to free up my congested, contracted chest and lungs.
Wondering what else Bowen with Sue can facilitate?
A gracious bow to you Ms Woodriffe and blessings on your practice, muchos gratitude and appreciation.
For some conditions I use Red Light Therapy as well
Baby Bowen is great for colic, feeding better from one breast than the other, and can often calm a restless baby
Lymphatic Bowen is a whole body treament the can address the whole body in a different way
I went to see Sue with stiffness and pain in the left side of neck, which had resulted from a strained muscle.
At first the neck strain appeared to intensify but after a couple of, deep, sessions the problem did get better, I also had a series of ‘emotional release’s’ which I can only say were an added and expected bonus of the treatment.
Sue instantly made me feel relaxed and talked me through the treatment she would be carrying out, I found the Bowen treatment to be an amazing experience and have since recommended Sue to many of my friends and colleagues.
Allow me to introduce you to the top trainers, practitioner and researchers from all over the world...
Bowen Technique is suitable for everybody
Some people experience sensations such as tingling or pressure during the treatment which indicates there are changes taking place during the treatment. Bowen Technique is a gentle therapy where the effects can be subtle but powerful.
In a Bowen session the practitioner applies light moves to specific places on the body. Ideally the moves are made directly on the skin while the client lies on a couch (always decorously covered by towels!). The work can be done through light clothing if necessary. The practitioner leaves the room from time to time to allow the body to process the changes taking place. By leaving the room the reptilian or primal brain, which is always on the lookout, can relax to allow the full benefit of the Bowen Therapy to be absorbed unencumbered by anything else.
I usually recommend three sessions for acute conditions (all 5-10 days apart) and suggest more regular visits (every six weeks or so) for chronic conditions or for the ongoing benefits of maintenance.

My couch and chairs are sanitised before each client. I wear scrubs and will wear a mask if that helps you relax. Bowen works best skin on skin and in order to assess your body it is best if you can strip to your underwear - again I can wear gloves when I work if you like. If you are not comfortable stripping to underwear please wear light weight cotton clothing.
So if you can get to Southsea where I work (easily accessible from Hampshire and West Sussex) for your Bowen Treatment then I'd love to meet you.
