  • The Mighty Quads Posted October 14, 2011

    Off

    I use the Bowen Technique with lots of runners and swimmers. Certain muscle groups are the power houses of the body: these are the galvanising gastrocnemius which defines the shape of the calf and the hamstrings at the back of the thigh propelling us forwards. The mighty quadriceps, namely the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and the satorius pick up the thighs and knees to move forward but also support the hips and pelvis.

    The Bowen pelvic procedure also assists hurdlers with shin splints and gymnasts with landing on their feet correctly. In a similar fashion, anyone can develop these concerns even if they are not into sport, just life! A sprained ankle after stepping down a kerb, a strained back from gardening and even a ‘text neck’ or stiff neck from using a phone or iPad with the head bent forwards.

    After the initial two or three treatments, a person may only need another session if the injury returns or the condition is ongoing as in the case of a torn muscle, a neurological issue or medical problem. In all cases exercise alternating with relaxation is encouraged in the client’s own time to allow for a successful outcome.

    We've long known about the benefits of a relaxing soak in the bath, to aid restful sleep or ease tired, aching muscles. Now some new research claims the precious #metime that comes from locking the bathroom door and enjoying a soak can also be a powerful antidote to stress, helping us to feel more rested. Any restful activity, counter-intuitively, has been shown to improve productivity and cognitive ability. So, next time you feel frazzled, go for a long soak. Helen recommends adding a handful of our Bexters Bath Crystals... natural, safe and environmentally-friendly.

    CLAUDIA HAMMOND: When we rest, we set our brains free and our minds start to wander. This allows neural activity to increase in a combination of areas of the brain known as the default mode network.

    As we near the end of Complementary Therapy Week (March 20-25) we share this inspiring feedback from a client of Helen's for whom #bowentherapy has been life-changing. Please share your story to spread the word about the benefits of complementary therapy.
    Brenda says: 'Living with #rheumatoidarthritis for over 30 years, Bowen Technique has hugely improved my quality of life. It helps with my mobility so I can keep driving and retain independence and maintain a more positive outlook. Bowen has been a revelation and Helen is an absolute lifesaver, a therapist whose empathy and intuition match her professional skills.'
