  • Bexters to the rescue as Helen sprains her ankle! Posted May 19, 2019

    Off

    WE very much value the many positive comments that come into Bowen Supplies HQ endorsing the benefits of our specialist products, some of which we feature on this website and social media. This time I can share my own experience to illustrate the benefits of Bexters Soda Crystals in reducing swelling.

    Not paying proper attention when walking mum’s dogs, I stumbled over a kerb and twisted my ankle rather badly. By the end of the same day both ankle and foot had noticeably swelled up and it was painful to walk.

    Embracing this unexpected opportunity to follow the advice I give to others, I wrapped my ankle overnight with Bexters Soda Crystals, confident of seeing an improvement in the morning. Sure enough, the swelling had gone down, and the applicator wrap was damp with tell-tale residue where the crystals had hardened as the fluid soaked through the fabric.

    Although the ankle was still a little tender, I could walk quite easily. By coincidence I was running a Module 6 Bowtech class that weekend and was able to demonstrate the used wrap while inviting my students to perform the ankle procedure to improve function.

    The process reflects my confidence in Bexters, which can be used as a bath/foot soak as well as wrapping to assist recovery from injury through the reduction of swelling. We hear many similar stories where use of Bexters has relieved pain, and improved mobility allowing better rehabilitation.

    In my own case, after two days of being constantly on my feet running the training course, I repeated the wrap treatment which provided further relief as the tenderness vanished and a shapely ankle re-emerged!

    New year - new opportunity!

    Last call for Helen's #bowentechnique beginners' training course starting February 13-14 in London. There is still time to register, embrace a new challenge and possibly open the door to a more rewarding and less-stressful lifestyle.

    Helen teaches the Original Bowen Technique following the principles first laid down by founder #tombowen Accept no substitute!

    This is what one of her students told us: "Helen has a different approach which goes beyond teaching the Bowen moves. I now have a broader perspective on anatomy, client care and ultimately the extraordinary potential of the Bowen Technique to improve health and wellbeing."

    For further details DM Helen Perkins or pop over to her website https://helenperkins.com/

    These fabulous red boots were the highlight of a recent charity luncheon attended by Helen (spot her in the picture with the team who organised the event) in support of the new Cambridge Children's Hospital.

    Wearing the boots was guest speaker Steve Pateman, the original Charlie Price from the hit Kinky Boots movie and musical. It was fascinating to hear the true story of how the film came about.

    Helen told us: "Seeing Steve walk into the room in these high heels made me wonder how many of us wearing winter boots, particularly a design with high heels, truly look after our feet at this time of year? I recommend soaking those hot, tired feet in Bexters crystals to relieve swelling, keep feet feeling fresh and free from any nasty infections."
    And don't forget to apply our award-winning #BowtechEase oil to relieve itchy winter chilblains!

    Yesterday I ended up with a sprained ankle that swelled up so much I could barely put weight on it. By the evening, I honestly couldn’t walk. But I remembered the simple, powerful wisdom behind Bowen Therapy… and I decided to support my body the way Tom Bowen intended: 🌀 Did the ankle procedure 🛁 Foot bath with warm water & Epsom salts 💧 Gently oiled the leg with Bowtech Ease 🧂 Applied a pad with soda crystals overnight And this morning? The swelling was almost gone. I could actually walk again. Yes, there’s still a little pain, healing is a process, but the difference from last night to today was incredible. Our bodies truly want to heal. Sometimes they just need a gentle touch This is why I love Bowen Therapy. 💛 #BowenTherapy #NaturalHealing #TomBowenWisdom #HolisticCare #YouNiqueBowenTherapy #BowenTrainingUK
