Manipulation

Dianne works as a member of the BCTC (British Complementary Therapies Council) and BCMA (British Complementary Medicine Association) using gentle manipulation to maintain and restore health by means of the realignment of the spine and other joints of the body.

Since the whole body is controlled by the nervous system and most of the body’s nerve supply passes through the spine, it follows that if the spine is maintained in it’s correct alignment, nerve impulses travel freely and without interference so allowing natural self healing to maintain health.

The conditions often presented include:

• Migraine and Tension Headaches
• Neck and Shoulder Tension
• Frozen Shoulder
• Tennis Elbow
• Back Pain
• Sciatica
• Knee and Ankle problems.

Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is a gentle effective treatment working on the muscles and soft tissue to give pain relief, promote healing, and increase energy levels. During treatment the body is encouraged to realign itself without the need for manipulation or force which makes the treatment so unique.

The work can be performed through light clothing and 2 or 3 treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing problems although sometimes further treatment may be required.
It is used for Back, Neck and Joint related problems as in the Classical Manipulation but is also useful for Asthma, Hayfever and M.E.sufferers.

Testimonials

"I found Dianne to be a gifted and experienced healer and the Bowen method to be excellent at realigning my body and overcoming the effects of injury in an amazingly gentle yet effective way." - Elaine Heller (Energy Healer)

"After 20 years of ongoing and varied manipulative treatments on my back and neck, I came to consider having a session of the Bowen Technique as just another vain attempt to relieve my chronic pain and fatigue. Dianne fitted me in at the end of her first day back after the New Year - it turned out to be the best New Year I can remember. Initial treatment was weekly, gradually becoming less frequent unti now, eight months later I am having a top up treatment every 3 months.I can now sleep in whatever postioin I chose and am nowhere near as grumpy. I have also noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels and am feeling so much more like my old self." - Gail Parsons

"Following a recommendation from a friend I went to see Dianne with terrible lower back pain, which was relieved by a few Bowen treatments.   During the first consultation she took an in depth history of aches and pains and  I mentioned an old problem with my left hip.  I had been to referred by my GP to see a  physiotherapist about the hip, who gave up;  I had an MRI scan and was told by the consultant that a hip arthroscopy might help but he could not give any  guarantees, so I declined and decided to live with what had become a pretty constant discomfort in my hip.  Dianne said that she felt that she could help with my hip pain as well as the lower back and the change has been extraordinary.  I now now longer think about my hip and am 99% pain free." - David O'Driscoll
