  • 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!

    Stress Awareness Month
    Helen's top tip if you're feeling stressed is to take a bath!
    We know that warm water promotes blood flow and can help loosen tight, aching muscles. So it makes sense that relaxing in a bath can be an effective way to relieve stress.

    As a Bowen Technique therapist and instructor, Helen also understands that by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (which helps us relax) in this way lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and releases serotonin... in simple terms, helps reduce anxiety and encourage more restful sleep.

    So much for the science... for an extra tip, add a handful of #bexterscrystals with magnesium to enhance the effect.
