    Case Study: Tim Gilbert

    Occupation: Painter and decorator

    The Challenge
    After injuring his dominant right wrist in a fall, landing badly on a concrete kerbstone, Tim found himself in a plaster cast for three weeks, followed by physiotherapy and eight weeks off work. Recovery was hampered due to ongoing weakness and swelling, not ideal as he is self-employed.

    The Solution
    Helen devised a treatment plan involving Bowen Technique therapy sessions to strengthen damaged tendons, with use of our specialist natural products at home. Every-other night, before bed, Tim applied Bexters Soda Crystals in our small cotton applicator wrap, until the swelling was reduced. This was followed by daily application of Bowtech Ease oil to promote healing of soft tissue. She also recommended gentle hand exercises to restore movement.

    The Outcome
    This regimen was followed for three months, the recommended recovery period for this type of injury, after which Tim reported no further pain and improved flexibility. He regained feeling in his hand and wrist, enabling him to better grip his paint brushes!

    Tim says:
    “This injury was a ‘worst case’ scenario, being self-employed, and while I was quite sceptical at first, I am so pleased I followed Helen’s advice. I stuck with the home care and was very soon much better and able to return to work… thank you.”

    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
