Pain - why we hurt and what we can do about it

At some point in our lives, all of us have experienced pain - it is a common theme that unites us all, and in the UK we lose an average of 14 days off work per person per year because of pain. For some that pain is, thankfully, short-lived, but for many pain has a much longer-term and more debilitating impact.

In this talk, Julian Baker, the UK’s most experienced Bowen teacher and a Functional Anatomist with over 30 years experience, is going to be exploring and explaining pain, looking at:

• how and why we experience pain
• scientific research into the important role of fascia in our body and its role in both transmitting and addressing pain
• ways to address a wide range of pain presentations, from a twisted ankle, to golfers elbow, from back pain to chronic pain conditions like Fibromyalgia and everything in between.

As well as helping people to understand the way the human body hangs together, why it sometimes goes wrong, and the best way of fixing it when it does, Julian will be looking at The Bowen Technique, a gentle therapy that works with the fascia in our body, helping to address a wide range of pain presentations quickly and effectively. Bowen Therapists will also be on hand to answer any questions or queries you have and enable you to try Bowen for yourself.
