  • Bowen therapy eases runners’ post-race strains Posted February 28, 2020

    Off

    PROVIDING post-race Bowen treatment to runners following a 30k event recently was an ideal opportunity for me to hear more about some of the problems that can affect athletes. 

    Most of the people who asked for help had taut hamstrings and strained calf muscles which are among the more common afflictions. I also learned about lots of other problems including one guy who was limping when he found his way to me. He appeared to have a strain in the quadricep muscles and after treatment, I suggested he went over to the paramedic team just in case. A thorough check-up showed no cause for concern, and he came back to say he felt much better after the Bowen session… hurrah! 

    Organised by local club Stamford Striders, the event attracted a full entry of 750 in what has been recognised as one of the Top Ten events of its kind in the country by Runners World. It’s considered a tough event, a good training run ahead of the Spring marathon season. The first ones back started arriving within one hour and 40 minutes and by 1.15pm queues were forming for ‘cool down’ and assistance with specific problems. 

    I was one of four complementary therapists offering our services, and was able to ask for a charity donation in return for a bag of Bexters Bath Crystals so runners could enjoy a soak and ease their aches and pains when they got home.  The donations went to Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough where I have been a volunteer for many years. 

    I very much enjoyed the day and delighted to have already been booked for the same St Valentines 30k event next year.

    Now here's a question for you... why is it that women suffer more badly from joint problems?
    Here at Bowen Supplies HQ we've been pondering this question after spotting a survey from Nuffield Health which showed eight in ten women had experienced joint pain at some point. Out of 8,000 people (over age 16) surveyed almost half of women with painful joints said it was so bad they couldn't sleep, with 40 per cent reporting it affected their mental health. This compared to only 34 per cent of the men.
    Helen's experience shows that men often present with knee and ankle pain from sport-related injuries while for women it often leads to arthritis-related conditions. And of course, work-related conditions can impact the way joints respond.
    Whatever the cause, be it men or women of any age, we know from positive feedback that our natural award-winning products can bring relief from pain, swelling and inflammation.
    As we reach the end of Rheumatoid Arthritis Week, we invite you to take a look at our website for details of Bowtech Ease oil and Bexters crystals to read how others have found them beneficial.
