So...You. Yes, you. Share your experiences and thoughts of various forms of physical therapy. Now.
My mother is a bowentherapist, of the BowTech school, which I understand is the original. It's like...manipulation of your insides. It tightens loose muscles/tendons and loosens tight ones until your body basically pulls itself together. In my experience, it's really quite effective, if you get the right number of sessions in, which I generally dont because I live far, far away and we're always busy so I'll get maybe one in a fortnight of being here, so I'll feel good for a few days and then bam everything slowly falls apart again.
I just had one. Which I really, really needed apparently because my head was absolutely spinning when the session was done. Apparently, if you're fairly messed up and you get a lot of stuff worked in a session, you can even end up throwing up.
In general it's fairly comfortable, though...but dear sweet Stevens, you better hope you don't have anything wrong with your hip. Ow. Ow, ow, ow, I've been kicked by a black-belt and I've been smacked with a 2x4, but I'd do either one again rather than get that bowen move done again. Ow.
