It is well documented that the NHS has a low impact on musculoskeletal pain of unknown causes. Despite decades of research and posturing to explain chronic musculoskeletal pain on the basis of a specific disease or injury, and despite increasingly sophisticated radiological assessment, little advance has been made in either achieving a specific structural diagnosis or, more importantly, in reducing the health and economic burden of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, when you seek help from the NHS ask to be referred to a registered Bowen Technique practitioner. If you are paying for treatment yourself, you are unlikely to find a more cost effective and long-lasting solution for your problem.

If your complaint is long-standing and musculo-skeletal, covering conditions like frozen shoulder, back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, etc. you should not have problems asking your GP for a referral to an accredited and registered Bowen Technique practitioner.

However, in my own experience, after many requests by patient's GPs for funding for Bowen treatment, and all turned down, I later learnt that the East Lancs Clinical Commissioning Group will automatically turn these requests down. If my patients lived in other parts of the country, this type of funding would be available, as more and more CCGs recognise the cost-effectiveness of the Bowen Technique. Ideally, it would make sense for patients to be treated with Bowen and funded by the NHS for conditions before they get to be chronic and long-standing. This seems, to just about everyone, a better way to save both pain and money.

The NHS has a serious crisis of funding and yet the vast majority of people who come to me for treatment, only do so because the NHS has failed to help their problem. Most have had costly drugs, scans, physio treatment, injections, operations, etc and yet many have experienced problems that have worsened over time, despite these expenditures. Although there has been much talk and posturing about the need to use alternative and complementary health care and the preference for many patients to seek solutions away from prescription drugs, we believe this economic option should be available throughout the U.K. Only when patients continue to ask for this treatment will it be considered as an effective and relevant alternative treatment.

Smaller organisations may not have routine access to occupational health services but can contact Better With Bowen for help. Of those organizations that already use the services of a health provider, whether a GP or a complementary therapist, many will have found that the treatment and advice is not adequate, or proves very costly.

Looking after yourself and your workforce need not be such a problem. Contact Better With Bowen today.

We welcome enquiries to give talks and demonstrations to help you understand how the Bowen Technique may be able to help your institution or group with problems that are being experienced.
