Leg pain with pins and needles: an elite triathlete got back to swimming, cycling and running with Bowen Therapy and Pilates

Michelle was a respected traithlete competing internationally, when her career was hampered by left leg pain with pins and needles. Over 2 years she had MRI scans and other investigations that could not find what was wrong. She had been to see various physiotherapists, a chiropractor, an oestopath and a sports therapist but was still suffering. She had attended Painless Pilates with Nick, which had helped her gain an understanding of her body. It was Nick who suggested a one to one assessment to get to to the root of Michelle’s problem.

Following an assessment and general physiotherapy treatment, Michelle was making progress. She then mentioned that her horse had regular Bowen Therapy which seemed “to do wonders”, would Bowen work for Michelle?

Here’s what Michelle had to say:

After a two year injury (and no one knowing the cause) and many different physio’s, chiropractor, osteopath and a sport therapist I was no further forward. Pain presented when ever I did anything but walk so I could not run, swim or cycle. I was unable to train for triathlon in anything.

The only thing that got me going again was the Bowen Therapy received by Nick along with the aftercare of exercises and regular Pilates Class.

Nick not only helped me get back physically and supported me mentally too

After 2 sessions of Bowen Therapy the pain and pins and needles in my leg disappeared. The Bowen not only helped relieve these symptoms but helped with the anxiety too. When ever I feel overwhelmed I go back to having Bowen to settle the nervous system.

It was three years ago since I did my last Triathlon and on my first outing back I managed to win the female race and finish second overall.

Very few low backs actually need a scan – low back pain scan?
