TESTIMONIALS

Here are some things our clients have to say

ACHILLES

“I experienced problems with and inflamed Achilles tendon which led to knee and hip complaints. I went to the doctor who referred me for physiotherapy which I attended for 7 weeks along with home exercises but there was little improvement.
I tried creams to relieve the symptoms but this also had little effect.
I then made an appointment with Belinda after a talk that she gave and received my first appointment on 14th September, 2011 and within 3 sessions I began to notice a significant improvement. I continued treatment for a further 3 sessions and now have no pain or swelling in my Achilles tendon and no pain in my knee and hip.”
Doreen S. Grimsby

“I had severe back pain which prevented me from lifting, walking any distance and driving a car long distances. I am now able to walk several miles without pain and drive longer distances. My back feel the best it has been for years.”
John G. Grimsby

“Having been recommended by a friend I consulted Belinda with regard to back pain problems. From the very first treatment I felt considerable relief and after a small number of visits I was able to forget about the pain for long periods of time. I have occasional relapses and usually a further visit brings about considerable relief. I obviously have faith in Belinda and her expert treatment.”
Joan F. Grimsby

“After having been recommended by a friend because I was suffering very badly with pain in the lower back, I attended Belinda Carr's clinic. The treatment I received relieved the pain enormously and my body itself felt a lot better. The treatment was carried out very professionally and with great dignity and respect.”
Ian E. Grimsby

“Many thanks for our Bowen treatments. As we both have problems with our lower backs we need a little treatment now and again. We always feel better after our visits having the body re-aligned and doing the exercises you recommend, Thanks for all your help.”
June and Eddie S. Grimsby

”I came suffering from back pain which was restricting as I am a professional sportsman. I have since discovered the pain is associated with a knee injury I did 2 years ago, Not only has the back pain gone but my posture has improved and my feet no longer point out when they should be straight!”
Adam B. Grimsby

”I have benefitted from the Bowen treatment and feel much better. I will continue the therapy as it really helps and seems to keep the problem under control.”
Lucy G. Grimsby

”I have suffered with intermittent lower back pain and trapped nerve for a number of years, whilst other treatments have helped with the discomfort nothing had provided any long term relief. I visited Belinda after a recommendation, and am absolutely astounded at the results. After the first session I had immediate relief and following a further 3 sessions have had almost no recurrences of pain. The treatment has also helped with anxiety and IBS issues. I would thoroughly recommend trying the treatment.
Liz B. Grimsby, 2013

“When I first had Bowen treatment I had been suffering from lower back and neck pain for a number of years. I had tried chiropractic and had received some benefit from that but I do feel that I have benefited further with Bowen treatment. It is gentle but very effective.  I also feel that I have been helped with my stomach problems.
It has helped me to continue with my work at  helping my husband with building and renovating our home.
 At times I have gone for treatment in pain and have received immediate relief. I would like to say that the treatment is a very pleasant and relaxing experience that I look forward to. I have often told others and they too have tried it too and have also benefited from it. ” 
Elaine H. Grimsby

“I have been to see Belinda on many occasions over the last 20 years. Initially, I fractured my back so was susceptible to an aching back. She always relieves my pain after only one or two treatments. I recently have been having dizzy spells and the thought was that I was very tense in my shoulders and neck, maybe having a trapped nerve. After two sessions with Belinda, the dizzy spells have stopped. I am going to continue to have sessions for my neck and shoulders as I am a very tense person. The technique Belinda uses are not at all painful.”
Michael D. Grimsby

 "My 5 year old son suffered with tonsillitis regularly. He also had earache and his hearing was poor. He was referred to the hospital and given hearing tests. I decided to try the Bowen Technique because he wasn't improving and had been given six courses of antibiotics in 5 months. This, I felt was not good for a 5 year old and was concerned about him taking so much medication. The improvement in his condition once he started to receive Bowen was noticeable form the second treatment, His earache had gone and after the fourth treatment his hearing was normal when the hospital tested him. At his next hospital check up he was discharged and he had made a complete recovery. I would certainly urge parents to consider Bowen after seeing such an improvement in my son's condition." 
Ethan's mum. Grimsby

FOOT

“Before I came to Belinda I had a foot causing intense pain, lower back, shoulder and neck pain.
I went with the pain in my foot not thinking that the others could be relieved without using pain killers.
After a couple of months I now have no pain at all in my foot and my neck, shoulders and back are kept pain free on a maintenance basis.”
Lorna J. Grimsby

"I was diagnosed some years ago with fibromyalgia, pleased in one way that the depleting illness I had was actually a recognised illness and I wasn't imagining it, but found it difficult coming to terms on how I was going manage this on a day to day basis. To say there was help out there was a under-statement because you looked ok, no broken bones etc., no-one really understood what you were going through, the constant 'flu' like pain, the tiredness due to poor sleep, the headaches, IBS, neck pain, jaw clicking, blood pressure etc. the list goes on. Then my life turned around when someone introduced me to the Bowen Technique. I was told Belinda could help. I can remember hobbling in one day hardly able to sit as I was in so much pain, but after one session I was pain free. I had been fitted for a mouth splint due to my jaw dropping and clicking but since my sessions of Bowen I no longer wear it. My dentist was so impressed he wanted to know more about the Bowen Technique. To date there is no cure for fibromyalgia but I have regular sessions with Belinda who enables me to have some quality to my life, I am not popping loads of tablets and there are occasions when I have good periods and bad periods but with the help of Bowen the good periods outweigh the bad. My whole family also find benefit from having Bowen to deal with aches and pains and any sort of alignment problems."

GENERAL HEALTH

”Having spent several months struggling with pains in my back, legs shoulders and neck and fed up with taking pain killers, I decided to try complementary therapy. I was advised by a friend to go for Bowen Therapy which deals with the whole area of the body. After a course of a very relaxing treatment I have to say my condition has improved beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate in recommending Ric Carr Bowen Therapy.”
Margaret R. Grimsby

“I first heard about Bowen therapy when Belinda was doing taster sessions at a local open day.  I was shocked to discover my jaw was out of alignment and Belinda proceeded to put it back. I booked a full appointment because  I had problems with my neck and shoulders on and off for years and found that physiotherapy and acupuncture made it worse.
I was amazed that long standing pains in my head, face, neck, shoulders and back disappeared. The sessions were also deeply relaxing.
After I went to the dentist the pains returned in my face and cheeks. I looked an appointment with Belinda and discovered my jaw was out of alignment again die to having my mouth wide open for so long. Belinda put it back and the pains disappeared again.
Had I not discovered Bowen therapy I would have had to live with this discomfort in my head, neck, face, shoulders and back for the rest of my life. I now see Belinda intermittently to keep things in alignment and if I pull anything I know where to go to get it sorted,
I am so happy to have discovered Bowen and tell everyone about it.”
Anne W. Grimsby

KNEE

”I had an accident that damaged the collateral ligament of my right leg. I attended specialist clinics and physiotherapy many times. After 30 months I was told that the situation was never going to improve as arthritis had developed so this limping and pain to the inside of my knee was never going to improve.
I visited Belinda after a recommendation. I have had 4 treatments and suffer from none of my previous problems. I do not believe for one moment she can cure arthritis but does listen and comes to her own conclusions and treats symptoms accordingly with great success in my particular case.”
Trevor B, Grimsby

”After a fall from my moped I ended up with very swollen and painful knees. I couldn't walk far without a lot of pain, I couldn't get on my bicycle and it was very difficult to walk upstairs. I visited my doctor who went me for X-rays and physiotherapy but to no avail. I consulted Belinda on a friend's recommendation.
3 treatments later all the swelling and pain had gone and I no longer need any pain killers, I am now able to cycle and also enjoy long walks in the countryside.
I now visit Belinda regularly and have stayed pain free. Thank you Belinda.”
Sue B. Grimsby

”After slipping and injuring my back I decided to try The Bowen Technique having suffered with pain and movement restrictions for 3 months. I noticed that after just one session I could move easier and didn't need to take my pain killers so often which was great as I have taking tablets. I had tried another alternative therapy but wasn't happy with my progress as I was still in considerable pain. So, I felt that it was time I tried something else. Also, I had had a knee problem for years with swelling and stiffness particularly in my left knee and had been diagnosed as having arthritis in it. Now, after just a few treatments I have much more range of movement in both my back and knees an feel much happier with myself. I'll now be going for maintenance treatments every so often just to keep me in full working order which is fantastic!”
Anne H. Grimsby

”I have been able to work, sleep and relax without the constant pain in my left side which I had  for 3 years even though I had attended  a pain clinic with no effect”.
Janice B. Grimsby

”The Bowen treatment has enabled me to carry on doing everyday things as normal. Having been to my GP and had two cortisone injections in my shoulder, neither of which worked, a friend recommended me to Belinda and after a couple of visits there was a remarked improvement, so I carried on with the treatment and now have full movement in my right arm. I am so pleased I took my friend's advice about the treatment.
Val B. Grimsby

”It was suggested to me that I visit a Bowen therapist in October 2012 after about two months of having a 'frozen' shoulder. I had previously seen a physiotherapist and my shoulder had felt better immediately afterwards but within a couple of days it returned to the state where all movements were painful and restricted and the pain affected my sleeping.
I checked the internet and found Belinda's name and noted that she had practised for many years, so I decided it was worth a try. The first time I attended I was given a very full assessment of my whole body, and through Belinda's careful questioning, was able to tell her about all my aches and pains: my knee, hip, back and neck, as well as my shoulder. I had retired eighteen months previously from a sedentary job and been looking forward to becoming fitter in retirement, so I was quite depressed about my physical state. Although I felt as if I was complaining about everything, this seemed to give a full picture and I was told that I was leaning to the right when I stood and walked and this might have been part of the problem.
I have had eight treatments altogether. They were planned for every week to start, and then were spaced out as I improved, with exercises for me to carry out between sessions. Each time Belinda has treated each area of my body, and now my shoulder has the full range of movement, and the other parts are feeling better too.
From the first treatment, my shoulder was much improved in pain and mobility, and unlike after the physiotherapy treatment, it remained better. Each treatment session resulted in further improvements. I have found the treatment extremely gentle and relaxing. Belinda is a very experienced therapist and can find the problem areas in the body straight away. The movements she makes in treatment are very gentle and do not cause any additional pain.
I have been extremely pleased and happy with the therapy and will continue to visit Belinda again as necessary, and I have and will continue to recommend Belinda and Bowen therapy to my family and friends.”

TRAPPED NERVE

”Three members of the family have suffered with three separate problems: trapped nerve in lower back, discomfort in the muscles of the neck and problem with a shoulder joint caused by the weight of a bag carried continually on the same shoulder for a long period of time.
All three problems were treated successfully using the Bowen Technique usually within 3-4 sessions.
I have told others of the success in having the treatment and in at least one case a work colleague also suffering with back problems has tried it and also experienced relief for the symptoms troubling him.”
