Muscular aches and pains can be reduced with Bowen Therapy when used on people who suffer from conditions such as Arthritis and some auto-immune diseases such as Fibromyalgia.  It won’t cure these types of conditions but can often give some relief from the pain they are experiencing.

Sometimes it’s also beneficial to tape areas of the body after Bowen Therapy (i.e. knees and ankles) to support the joint while it heals. 

Exercises may be given where appropriate to help support recovery and become part of the treatment plan.
