Christine Hagerman is a registered nurse. Consequently, she’s fully aware of the importance of pain management. Pain is something that we have all experienced at some time – Christine included.
In fact, it was Christine’s personal experience with chronic pain that led her down an alternative path to pain management. The treatment she discovered did so much to alleviate her own pain that she decided to become a practitioner of it, and help others. She hasn’t looked back since.
The treatment Christine provides is a revolutionary type of therapy formulated and developed by an Australian – Tom Bowen.
This amazing therapy has attracted much interest over the years. It is establishing itself on a global scale, and is being increasingly used in a variety of applications such as hospitals, physiotherapy clinics and even hospices. The success of this unique holistic therapy continues to grow.
Bowen Therapy is an extremely gentle, non-invasive and very safe method of relieving pain. It works on the premise of promoting and encouraging the body’s own natural responses through gentle touches and manipulation, and patients will often experience profound relaxation during a session. Periods of ‘rest’ occur throughout the therapy sessions, and these are to allow the body to respond and react to the treatment, which is designed to reduce the inflammation and therefore the pain.
Christine describes it as a “complete anti-inflammatory therapeutic influence”. Some of her clients might describe it as miraculous!
Only recently, she has treated two teenage girls who have suffered for years with migraine headaches. After only three sessions with Christine, the migraines have disappeared.
Bowen Therapy can treat many types of disorders and musculoskeletal pain, some of which include:
Fibromyalgia, sciatica, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, reflux, colicky baby syndrome, gynaecological problems such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility and PMS.
Back pain is a very common ailment. In fact, it’s responsible for the most number of lost work days in North American. Many of us learn to live with our pain, swallowing over-the-counter pain medication on a daily basis. Wouldn’t it be nice to be free of that?
Give Christine a call and discuss your particular case with her. She’ll be happy to help.
One lady had suffered for months with a trapped nerve in her foot. Pain followed her everywhere, literally. Nothing helped, until she had one – yes, only one – session with Christine. The relief was almost instant. “The morning after the treatment, I got out of bed and walked across the floor without limping. I can’t remember the last time I was able to do that. It’s fantastic.”
Another popular treatment at the clinic is the Ionic Detox Foot Spa Therapy. This is a device which detoxifies and energizes the body by means of a foot spa. You will be amazed and probably quite shocked at the colour of the water in the foot bath at the end of your treatment! Some patients with respiratory issues who have undergone this therapy claim their breathing improved noticeably as a result.
Christine also offers a Gait Scan. This machine measures and calculates the way you use your foot as you walk, and consequently can then produce the perfect custom orthotic for your feet. Unlike some other orthotic devices, this machine also takes your weight into consideration, which is a very important factor when creating the perfect support for your own unique requirements.
If pain is something that you live with, contact Christine to discuss the Bowen Therapy – you don‘t need a referral. It just might be the answer you are looking for, and could allow you to live a more active, pain free lifestyle.
