A Personalised Assessment First
Struggling with a painful, stiff or restricted shoulder? At My Bowen Therapy, we start with a personalised assessment to understand your symptoms, shoulder movement and posture before discussing whether our Bowen Therapy approach may be appropriate for you.
Does This Sound Like Your Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder can develop gradually. You may first notice pain or stiffness, followed by increasing difficulty with movements that were previously easy.
Overhead Movement
Difficulty lifting your arm above your head.
Behind-Back Movement
Restricted movement when reaching behind your back.
Symptoms Getting Worse
Increasing shoulder pain or stiffness.
Dressing & Reaching
Difficulty getting dressed or reaching into a cupboard.
At Night or in Bed
Discomfort when lying or sleeping on the affected side.

Not every painful or restricted shoulder is necessarily frozen shoulder. That’s why we start by understanding your symptoms and how your shoulder is moving before deciding how to approach your session.

Our Bowen Therapy Approach
Bowen Therapy forms part of our assessment-led, whole-body approach. Rather than following the same routine for everyone, your session is guided by your individual assessment and how your body responds.
Assessment First
Every appointment begins with an individual assessment.
Gentle & Precise
Precise Bowen Therapy techniques are adapted to your comfort and response.
Tailored to You
Your session is guided by your individual symptoms, movement and goals.
Whole-Body Thinking
We consider how different areas of the body may be working together rather than focusing only on where symptoms are felt.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Pain, tightness and restriction can have different explanations. Frozen shoulder typically involves significant stiffness and progressive restriction of shoulder movement. If your symptoms are more about general pain or tension without a marked loss of movement, our Shoulder Pain & Tension page may be the better starting point.
Bowen Therapy uses gentle, precise hands-on techniques rather than forceful manipulation. Your therapist will work within your comfort levels and adapt the session to your individual needs.
