Response to treatment.

She was concerned that as she was on steroids, then this could risk the onset of osteoporosis and the need for a hip replacement. She was overweight and hoped that the Bowen would ease the pain, thus reduce the steroid dose and the consequent risk of osteoporosis, and therefore the need for the hip replacement.

Comments.

After the first treatment she commented “Improved, pain not so consistent, though a ‘stabbing’ pain when it does occur, more of an ache behind both knees, no swelling in neither ankles nor knees.”

She picked up a gastric bug and had to go to primary care and then back to her own Doctor. He said that he had never heard of Bowen and that she was not to have anymore treatment until after her blood had been checked. The Doctor told her to lose weight, (despite her having been put on steroids), to see a nutritionist, and to have plenty of exercise, such as swimming and walking! No further contact.
