Bowen Technique

I had my first session with Orla last week. Must admit I was a bit sceptical before going but that soon changed once I saw her at work and doing her stuff.

She explained a few things to me and spotted a few areas that needed work. She finished off with the Bowen technique on me and what happened afterwards was pretty amazing. If I understood her correctly, old injuries often need final healing.

Firstly I slept for twelve hours straight that night which was a bit out of the ordinary for me. The next day my left shoulder was aching like as if I’d bumped it off something heavily but couldn’t recall doing so. The following day I experienced a bunch of stuff including a dull pain in my right collar bone at the exact point where I had broken it some 28 years previously! This put me thinking of what Orla had said about old injuries that hadn’t fully healed and then the penny dropped about the pain in the other shoulder which I had also broken (s/blade) some years ago. These aches lasted a few hours and then faded. I also found that I was walking in a funny way lifting my right leg more than was necessary as if I was climbing stairs! This was the same ankle that I had made a mess of many years ago in a crash.

This and all the odd symptoms faded as the day went on and I awoke the next morning with no issues. I have to assume she was correct in what she preached and my aches and pains in areas she hadn’t touched were a result of the treatment and now had final healing happening. Going to have another session there in two weeks.

I have to recommend Orla and Kincora Therapy Top marks.
