    Case Study: Emma Sowden

    Occupation: Marathon runner and triathlete

    The Challenge

    Training for Ironman UK, her first full triathlon after several years of marathon running. Suffering with swollen ankles and knees. Had previously tried acupuncture and was attracted to the idea of a natural remedy for reducing swelling.

    The Solution

    To reduce swelling and accelerate post-training recovery Helen recommended use of Bexters Soda Crystals with applicator wrap on ankles and/or knees, with regular crystal baths to ease aching muscles.

    The Outcome

    Wearing the wrap with crystals overnight on one ankle only (for comparison purposes) Emma reported immediate relief with no visible swelling next morning. As a result, she adopted this treatment for both ankles, with occasional use on knees to manage injury. Huge improvement overall with body feeling less fatigued.

    Emma says: ‘I found that wrapping ankles/knees post training, especially after intense and longer training sessions, brought massive benefits in terms of recovery, coupled with crystal baths two or three times a week. As an extra bonus, I noticed my skin felt softer too! I am now preparing for the Marathon des Sables 2018 and Bexters has become an integral part of my training.’

    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.
