Today I travelled 4 hours to go to Bowen Therapy. The therapist focused on the Respiratory, and TMJ moves since those are my major issues-digestive and TMJ (pain in my jaw, neck, face). I've never had the TMJ moves before and was a little nervous after she described what she would do, but could the pain get worse? Probably not.
I always get so relaxed during Bowen-I think I may have fallen asleep a few times! Afterwards the therapist told me that she has never met anyone whose muscles were so bent..??? What? And that when she walked in the room for the first time she got a hazy thing happening in the back of her head. Hmm...okay. And that it happened again everytime she walked into the room. I'm not sure what she was implying other than my body is messed up and she has some "sense" of this. It was bizarre.
I am to record everything I notice about my body for 7 days after which we will have a phone conference. So far I have felt jaw pain, had a flushed face for a short period of time, my neck is tight/sore but that could be from travelling, my legs are sore--again could be from sitting in a truck most of the day, the front of my throat has been sore where she "massaged/pulled" the muscles, and that is about all so far.
I am beginning to wonder if food isn't the issue, but certain foods trigger different TMJ symptoms. More investigating will have to be done.
Highlight of my day? Eating a great salad and grilled salmon at Moxie's (husband had a burger, of course) and then going to the theatre to see "The Hunger Games". And like always, saw a few locals at the theatre even 6 hours away from home!
