  • 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!

    Who would have thought we would see the word 'musculoskeletal' in a newspaper article about the perils of wearing high heels!

    While the ubiquitous trainer trend that started during Covid is still with us, for many women wearing stilettoes is still the norm.

    The advice now coming through loud and clear from sports scientists in China recommends a heel no higher than three inches to avoid taking a tumble and reducing the risk of joint injury, back pain and even foot deformity including #bunions.

    As a Bowen therapist and reflexologist Helen sees many clients with these kind of problems... a reminder to them to #loveyourfeet

    As you know, we love a bath rather than a shower and this quote we spotted recently sums it up perfectly: 'A bath is liquid Valium for stress relief'
    Helen recommends adding a handful of #bextersbath crystals for a truly rejuvenating soak... rubber duck optional!

    The month of May is a timely reminder that walking is good for our health #NationalWalkingMonth As a Bowen therapist Helen encourages her clients to walk more after a treatment (as advised by founder Tom Bowen) to integrate the 'shifts' that take place within the body during a treatment.

    But she also advocates the wider health benefits of walking in her article Gait Ways https://helenperkins.com/news/walking-for-health/ whuch first appeared in ARCHIVE magazine.

    "Nor should the importance of good footcare be overlooked, to reduce the risk of hard skin and fungal infection which can affect the way we walk and run," she told us.

    Start with the basics, a foot soak with #bexterscrystals and be sure to dry between the toes! Cut or clip the nails straight across, file rough edges and massage with good quality lotion containing essential oils. #loveyourfeet
