Bowen treatment

[Dasymoo]

I went for Bowen Treatment the first session and. That night I was so agitated with restless leg syndrome. I felt like I was hit by a bus.

Anyway the next day I had a great relief from restless leg.

Can’t wait till my next session.

What is Bowen treatment?

Alternative treatment to physical manipulation. Totally experimental, no studies done, and insurance in the US , if it is even available here, will not cover it. I know it originated in Australia. It sounds like an alternative to a chiropractor, and they cannot help a neurological disorder. Gotta have deep pockets to pay for that. There is even a Bowen Therapy Academy in Australia. It is nothing I would ever try, since I do not believe in chiropractors for anything, never mind RLS. JMHO And, you have to keep going back and going back, like acupuncture.

Thankyou for that, nah, don’t think I’ll bother thanks. 😊

I've used a chiropractor many times for a bad back, which had come about from lifting weight incorrectly, sitting incorrectly and collision. I found it effective in restoring vertebrae to their correct position, where they do not put pressure on the nerves entering and leaving the spinal cord.

I can't however see how it would have any effect on rls. I think that any perceived effect may have been purely coincidental and brought about by another cause.
