Bowen / Emmett Testimonials
I have been seeing Liz for many years for Bowen and Emmett Therapy and honestly don’t know what I’d do without her! Whether I’m just feeling a bit creaky or have a particular injury, she is my go to and is usually able to sort me out and bring relief.
She has supported me through very difficult times both physically and emotionally and I can’t thank her enough.

I think Body in Balance is brilliant!!
Until you have tried it you are really missing out. I had suffered neck problems for years and received physiotherapy which hadn't been successful. Liz was recommended by a friend. Although at first I was apprehensive I soon discovered such faith in a treatment so gentle. The whole procedure was very relaxing, my neck problem disappeared and I generally felt more alive. I still visit Liz 3-4 times a year for a maintenance/top-up treatment which re-energises me and makes me feel even better. I would thoroughly recommend Body in Balance to anyone.

I have suffered with knee pain for many years but this is now rapidly improving following a few Bowen and Emmett treatments. Liz also gave me dietary advice to assist. I was very impressed with Liz's knowledge, she definitely knows what she is doing in her role. I will not hesitate in contacting her again if I am in need.

I am a full-time horse-riding instructor and stable hand so it is vital that I keep fit for work. I had been suffering with an ongoing back problem for a good few years with chiropractic treatment not getting to the root of the pain.
In September 2009 whilst at the stables my back completely seized. I couldn't move and the pain was agonizing. Liz was contacted and fortunately she was able to get to the stables within half an hour. She administered what she called a "first aid" treatment to ease pain and give me the mobility to get home. Over the next few days the discomfort reduced considerably. I then visited Liz at her clinic for my next treatment (4 days later). I was a little concerned as I was due to compete in a cross-country competition in another 5 days and really didn't want to pull out. After Liz's second treatment I amazingly completed the course pain-free, galloping and clearing 22 jumps!! With just a little short-lived stiffness the following day I really couldn't believe it.
I would definitely recommend treatment from Liz - the rapid benefits are quite incredible.

Following a serious motorbike accident and a torn knee meniscus operation I was often in pain in my back neck and right shoulder. I went to my local GP who gave me pain killers which treated the symptoms but not the root cause. I came to hear of Liz and thought I would give her a try. Following the first session I was very aware I was walking without favouring my left leg as I have for over a year and the pain and constant clicking in my neck were massively reduced. Following the second session I am now completely pain free in my right shoulder for the first time in 18 months. I am a well educated manager in the UK's biggest Bank, I have qualifications in Biology and Physics. For any sceptics out there don\'t hesitate, go and see Liz, there is no denying the incredible results I have had. Liz is very friendly and welcoming and has a very relaxed nature. Thanks for making such a massive difference to my quality of life Liz.

At the age of 18 having the opportunity to play in the first proper round of the FA Cup was fantastic but I was so concerned I wouldn't be fit enough to play on the day.
I know I would have really struggled to play in all the pain I was experiencing at the beginning of the week. Liz's treatments relieved a high percentage of my discomfort and I managed to play the whole match – I couldn't have done it without all her help. Thank you so much.

After giving birth to my daughter, 2 years ago, I had suffered with a lot of lower back pain. I decided to seek treatment from Liz James. During the first visit she "diagnosed" that my pelvis was out of alignment, and an appropriate treatment given. All I needed was one further visit for Liz to treat me using the Bowen and Emmett techniques, after this second visit the pain completely disappeared and has not returned. (I write this a year later). I would not hesitate to recommend this treatment and I found Liz to be very understanding, competent and very confident in her role.

I had recently injured my back and had always suffered with my knees. After many visits to the doctor and hours spent with a physiotherapist, my knees were still painful. A friend recommended Bowen and I went for an appointment with Liz. From the initial consultation Liz was able to determine that my pelvis was incorrectly aligned and by using a combination of Bowen and Emmett treatments, she worked her magic. I was amazed with the results and completely relieved with the outcome. I returned to Liz for a further two visits, after which both my back and knees were completely pain free. I suffered years with painful knees and due to this treatment I have been able to return to an exercise plan. To this day (10 months on) my knees have been ok. Liz also recommended a change in lifestyle by including Pilate's classes which will maintain good posture and help support my back. I will always be grateful to Liz for helping me be pain free again and I totally recommend her treatments.

I had suffered with tinnitus and nasal problems for 18 months. After just 2 combined Bowen & Emmett treatments, I could not believe how much the symptoms had subsided and how much better I felt. Thanks Liz from a new man! R Jones (Midsomer Norton)
I first consulted Liz James, practitioner of the Bowen and Emmett Techniques, because she had been recommended to me. The treatment she gave me was excellent with positive results and I have since recommended her and these techniques to others. CM Bath

I suffered with back pain for 30 years but am now pain-free thanks to Liz James and the Bowen Technique! Over the years, countless visits to osteopaths, physiotherapists and chiropractors provided some relief but only short-term. However, just a few Bowen treatments were needed to get to the root of my problem and give me long-term relief from pain. I would highly recommend this technique to anyone with a chronic back problem.

I can’t recommend Liz enough! She has been incredibly supportive throughout my journey and has always given me such great advice and guidance. I’ve completed two Gut Microbiome Reset programmes with her, and she has been there every step of the way, helping me stay motivated and on track.
What I appreciate most is how approachable and available she is whenever I need support or have a question.
Liz genuinely cares about her clients and makes you feel supported rather than judged. I’m so grateful for all her help and guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly wants to help you achieve your goals.

In February 2010 I contacted Liz as I was having trouble stabilizing my blood sugar and having adverse reactions to my medication for Diabetes.
Before my initial consultation Liz analysed my food diary and questionnaire she had asked me to complete. During our meeting she explained that I had been eating the wrong types and wrong combinations of foods all of which were not helping the Diabetes. She then went on to giving me guidelines of when and what to eat in the form of menu ideas and recipes and a very useful information pack. I came away with a lot more knowledge about Diabetes, blood sugar and what was happening in my body.
Liz has been supporting me ever since February and to date (Aug 2010) I have lost more than 2 stones in weight and not taking any medication at all now.
So, it's thanks to Liz that I now feel and look so much better and have much more energy than I had before."

Liz's high dose nutritional supplements proved a godsend for me in November 2009. I am a defender playing for Paulton Rovers Football Club. We were due to play Norwich City in the first proper round of the FA Cup and I had flu-like symptoms 3 days beforehand. Liz helped me quickly recover from my illness. The supplements and advice given boosted my immune system, making me feel so much better, enabling me to perform on the day.
