  • No need to give up yoga! Posted March 20, 2017

    Off

    Exercise, gym workouts and a desire to keep fit can sometimes exacerbate an existing back problem, as I discovered when a client came for a Bowen treatment complaining she could no longer carry out some of her yoga poses.

    She asked my advice on how to manage the pain without having to give up her much-loved yoga class, and here are some simple tips that might help others.

    The first and most obvious step would be to discuss with your yoga teacher, Pilates instructor or personal trainer who may be able to suggest some gentle exercises to help support the back while avoiding any strenuous contortions! Reducing or limiting classes or daily workouts for a short time, can assist the body in better recovery.

    My yoga client also found relief by bathing in Bexters Soda Crystals on alternate days to soothe aches and pains, while fluid can be drawn off from swollen joints by using the crystals with our applicator wrap.  At the same time, drinking plenty of water can flush out toxins that may have accumulated around sore or injured parts of the body.

    A gentle-touch therapy like the Bowen Technique will help re-align muscles that may have or are about to spasm. Acupuncture or Shiatsu, based on traditional Eastern medicine where meridians carry an invisible energy throughout the body, may also help areas that feel blocked and painful. Some people benefit from using aromatherapy blended oils, pressed – rather than massaged – onto sore areas and applied daily until better.

    Walking or swimming will likely have less impact on the back while still enabling you to keep mobile until the problem improves.  Nor should we forget the importance of ‘workout for the mind’ where mindfulness or creative visualisation can help adopt a positive attitude and re-focus on becoming well again.

    It is accepted that back pain is the biggest single cause of absenteeism from work, a debilitating condition that can affect every aspect of daily life. Bowen is recognised as one of the most effective treatments for back and neck problems so there is no need to suffer in silence!

    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.
