Yes! I often find I need to release the jaw in order to treat the back pain!

Did you know that your jaw and pelvis are connected?

Research shows that when people with certain pain conditions (like complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS) had their jaw muscles relaxed, their hip flexibility improved. But when they clenched their jaw tightly, their hip flexibility decreased.

This study highlights something Bowen Therapists have long understood: tension or imbalance in one area of the body can affect distant parts.

In this case, the jaw and pelvis are linked through muscular and fascial connections, meaning tension in one area can restrict movement in the other.

Bowen Therapy’s gentle techniques aim to release tension and restore balance across the body.

By gently working with both local and interconnected areas, Bowen Therapy aims to encourage flexibility, ease discomfort, and support the body’s natural alignment.

To the eye, Bowen Therapy may look minimal.

But beneath the surface, the body is processing, adjusting, and responding in its own time.

Input → processing → response.

This is the loop the nervous system is constantly running.

Every sensation is received, interpreted, and responded to — often before we’re even aware of it.

Bowen Therapy works within this process, using subtle input and intentional pauses to give the system space to process.

Because the quality of the input matters.

Well it’s goodbye to Oadby House Clinic after 7 years! What a lovely place it has been to work - I shall really miss my wonderful colleagues and patients here. Thank you for all the good times, learning, laughs and encouragement along the way. I’m a fifth of the way to retirement now as I’m still working from my home clinic 4 days a week.

Acupuncture to the ear, auricular acupuncture therapy, is another powerful tool we can use to help with pain, inflammation, regulation of the nervous system and emotional issues.

Thank you to Clara Cohen at AcuPro for more fabulous information and teaching!

As Clara says, acupuncture rocks!

Lovely to discharge a lady today, all smiles! No more jaw, eye, neck or head pain!
On first meeting her, she could open her mouth 27mm, didn’t like talking or eating due to pain.
Today she can open 37mm, pain free!

Treating her mouth and neck helped, but treating her whole back, pelvis and coccyx as well made the big difference!

Bowen Therapy rocks! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
