Sciatica

I went for Bowen Therapy in 2002 after a long period suffering from Sciatica.  The relief was not immediate but gradual over the 4 weeks of initial sessions.  The condition has never returned apart from a slight twinge occasionally.  I believe the physical comfort I now enjoy is due to my continuing with Bowen, now at 6 monthly intervals for top-ups, which I find beneficial they make me feel refreshed from the inside. I can, therefore, recommend Bowen confidently and
unreservedly as a worthwhile therapy.  J.H.

Injuries following car accident

I have been treated by Simone for over 3 years and have found that the combination of homeopathy and Bowen work really well together.  When I first came to her, I was in the latter stages of recovery from a very serious road traffic accident in 1998 and hoped that Bowen technique would help consolidate and improve my health situation. I
was already familiar with homeopathy.

Effective though conventional medicine and many operations had been, I felt that there was further I could go with the right help.  Simone has more than fulfilled my belief and I continue now with regular spaced maintenance visits. 

Simone takes great trouble in finding out all the necessary background and builds up reliable notes from each visit.  Her quiet confidence and pleasant manner immediately set one at ease and there is never any feeling that her time is tight.  I have found that her techniques are very effective in improving aches and other difficulties and know that she is always honest about what may result.  To be able to back this up with appropriate homeopathy makes a brilliant combination.

Last summer, Simone suggested that she felt she might now be able to help my left knee to bend a bit more – this was the main residual accident problem.  Well though I was now feeling, I could not ignore this opportunity and booked in for three separate weekly visits as requested.  She did warn me that it was not as straightforward as other treatments I’d experienced and indeed I did have short term pain in my back which needed additional help.  However, the medium
term result has been excellent: I can now walk down most stairs one foot after the other and my well-being and energy through the autumn was most noticeable.  Longer term I believe it may continue to improve and I am also very grateful that my disability is not now so obvious.

I can thoroughly recommend Simone on all levels and I know that in my case, she has definitely reached the parts where normal treatments were not able to venture.    C.B.  

Cramps due to chronic illness

Before being diagnosed with Adult Spinal Muscular Dystrophy in 2002 I constantly had night cramps in my legs, stomach and hands.

After moving to Somerset in 2004 I had my first Bowen treatment.  Within a short time the cramp ceased and I was able to get a good night’s sleep at last.

I continue to have treatment on a regular basis and find it benefits me very much.

While having treatment I find that it relaxes my muscles completely and I feel warmth in and around my knee joints.    (wishes to remain anonymous)

Back and neck pain.  Also chronic lung condition.

I originally consulted Simone Guest for Bowen treatment for a trapped nerve in my back.  After this was successfully treated I continued to consult her about other ongoing health problems. Because I have chronic lung disease, I did not expect that any progress could be made in my lung capacity, but in fact there has been some improvement.  I also find that I am sleeping better.

Treatment is a very relaxed and pleasant experience.  Not painful or hurried but calm and careful.  You may feel tired after your treatment because you have totally relaxed not because you have had to do anything.   I.E.

"The high standard of consistent treatment and genuine concern plus good client / practitioner relationship has lead to a feeling of being cared for and general well-being…I am much happier to attend and get a far better service than from main-line medicine"   R.H
