Workaholic, stress, aching neck. 19-07-301

Lady.

Possible causes.

Driving herself for some personal reason. Had an aching neck.

Bowen Treatments.

Body balancing moves, though it was not possible to carry out all these due to her being treated on a chair, (uncomfortable otherwise).

Frozen shoulder, plus moves for relaxation.

Response to treatment.

First treatment, during which she mentioned a shoulder problem, related to the neck. Frozen shoulder procedure given. She experienced some relief for a couple of days then the condition returned. She mentioned that she had been very tired after the first session. (This was her body saying ‘let me rest’, which, by implication she ignored.)

She had a disastrous holiday abroad, necessitating her having to drive an ill member of her family a very long distance home.

Comment during treatment.

“Not what I expected, very gentle.”

No further contact forthcoming, again a common stress scenario.
