Back pain: more common than you might think
💥 Back pain affects millions of people — and it can have a huge impact on everyday life.
Around 1 in 10 people in the UK are thought to have back pain at any one time, meaning millions of people may be dealing with pain, stiffness or restricted movement today.
And the impact on work is significant. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders affecting the back account for around 41% of the working days lost to work-related musculoskeletal disorders — equivalent to roughly 2.9 million working days in Great Britain in 2024/25.
Could Bowen Therapy help?
In my experience, Bowen Therapy can be highly effective for back pain. I regularly see clients who come for treatment with pain, stiffness or restricted movement and find that Bowen can help them feel more comfortable, relaxed and able to move more freely.
Bowen is a gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on therapy, using precise movements over muscles, fascia and soft tissue. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, with the aim of helping the body release tension and restore more comfortable movement.
If back pain is affecting your work, sleep, exercise or simply your enjoyment of everyday life, why not see if Bowen Therapy could help you? 🌿
