Testimonials
On Sunday, whilst playing rugby, I was shunted from behind, which sent a sharp pain to my lower back. I thought I could just run it off so continued to play on. After the game I noticed it still stinging but thought that maybe it would just settle down after a couple of days......well it didn't, and by Tuesday it was actually getting worse and I was starting to compensate it. I was even struggling to get comfortable lying down, and it was a struggle to walk after sitting down. I couldn't really stay in one place for too long.
Several friends recommended Mark from Bowenz, so I called him up and Mark quickly made a spot for me on the Wednesday morning. Mark had me run through some basic movements and quickly diagnosed the problem. Mark then started his treatment, which was non intrusive and after an hour, asked me to run through some basic movements again to see if there was a difference. I felt relaxed through the whole treatment and did notice a wee improvement, but nothing really startling, which Mark expected. Mark mentioned I'd likely notice a difference after 3 - 10 days and that the treatment takes that timeframe to really kick in.
Well......On the Thursday, whilst the pain was still there, it was starting to was starting to minimise, and the really interesting thing is I could sense something going on in my lower back around the Friday.
I refrained from exercise until Sunday, which was when I was starting to feel a lot better, I was freeing up, my pain was almost gone completely and my range of movement was increasing, so much so that I was able to go for a
45 minute paddle in my kayak.
I then had a good workout at the gym on Monday which included 20 minutes continuous on the Rowing machine after a 10 minute warm up on the stepper….
It's now Monday afternoon and I'd rate my progress at a 9/10...
Thanks Mark for your Bowenz treatment .......
I'll recommend you to my family and friends

K Bell, Christchurch, NZ, I have now had several Bowen therapies from Mark Palmer and I am amazed at the difference it makes and how well I feel afterwards. I ride horses and do a lot of heavy lifting which often leads to a sore back and neck, Mark manages to put everything back in place and get me moving again. I have been so impressed by his Bowen Therapy that I now recommend him to all my friends and I have sent both my son’s along for treatments.
Jim McQueen, Ashburton After a life time of hard physical work I went to Mark @ Bowenz desperate for any kind of relief as it had become so painful to move and walk.After only a few visits I can move more comfortably than I have in years. I can now walk up and down stairs rather than hobble into the lift.
Thank you Bowenz.

Abby Robertson, Springfield, VA, Center for the Fairfax Stars Under 13 Girls Basketball Team (2001 National Champions) I play AAU basketball. After the first few weeks of Bowen with Tina (McIntosh), I noticed that my chronic knee pain was gone. Then I sprained my ankle really badly. When Tina saw me two days later, I still couldn’t put any weight on it. It was completely swollen and black and blue. She did some Bowen and the swelling went right down within ten minutes. That evening during practice, my ankle didn’t bother me at all. I’ve been pain-free now for two months. With Bowen, I move better, I play better, and I don’t hurt afterwards.
Oscar C. Weitzberg, Rockville, MD Two chronic problems cleared up after a few Bowen sessions three months ago. As far back as I can remember, I tended toward constipation. After eighty-five years of laxatives, enemas, and suppositories, I’m now regular — even without Metamucil. My sinus condition began in the early 1950s. After the doctor’s initial treatments with iodine, I irrigated my sinuses with saline solution for about ten years, then used Neosynephrine for thirty years, and finally used Nasacor daily for ten years. Since the Bowen, my sinuses are clear without any medication.
Donna Mittenthal, Austin, TX My right big toe was immobile, inflexible, swollen, and painful. I got more relief from my first Bowen session than I had from a year and a half of regular acupuncture and myofascial release work. In three more sessions, Nancy [Pierson] worked the whole body, with focus on my toe and right knee. I have no pain in my toe now, and the knee rarely bothers me.
Susan Wilson, CarmelValley, CA Before my massage, Carol [Vallaire] noticed that my ankles were swollen. They’d been swelling several times a year for two years. The diuretics prescribed by my physician generally worked in less than a week, but I had not taken them this time. At Carol’s suggestion, I had Bowen instead of massage. Twice during the session I got off the table to urinate, and when I was getting dressed afterwards I saw that the swelling was already subsiding. Carol repeated the Bowen five days later. The swelling has not recurred in the six months since.
Marie Hayward, Tiburon, CA The pain in my shoulder got steadily worse for several years. At a friend’s suggestion, I went for a massage — my first bodywork ever. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t notice any improvement. The next time, I had Bowen instead. The pain improved immediately, by way over half, and continues improving with each Bowen. I go for tune-ups every four to six weeks and remain pain-free — unless I skip the Bowen shoulder exercise a few days in a row.
