Ala has helped me tremendously managing my sciatica pain and now in managing the side effects of the microdiscectomy that I underwent last year. She’s very knowledgeable and very patient in explaining to me about my condition. I feel so much better after each session and have now even got my husband on board with Bowen Therapy.

What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a broad term for conditions that affect the joints and can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced movement.
Osteoarthritis commonly involves changes within the joints over time, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can affect multiple joints. Both require appropriate medical management.
Joint pain and stiffness can also occur for reasons other than arthritis, including previous injury, changes in movement, and strain on the surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
At My Bowen Therapy, our focus is on the musculoskeletal symptoms you are experiencing, such as pain, stiffness, tension and restricted movement, rather than claiming to treat or cure the underlying arthritis.
What We Focus On
At My Bowen Therapy, our focus is on the musculoskeletal symptoms you’re experiencing-pain, stiffness, tension and restricted movement- rather than claiming to treat or cure the underlying arthritis. Joint pain and stiffness can also occur for reasons other than arthritis, including previous injury, changes in movement and strain on surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
Support Alongside Rheumatoid Arthritis Care
Rheumatoid arthritis is managed by a doctor or rheumatologist, and that care should always continue. People living with rheumatoid arthritis sometimes also experience muscular tension, soft-tissue stiffness and changes in the way they move around affected joints.
Those are the symptoms our assessment looks at. Bowen Therapy does not treat the underlying autoimmune condition, alter its progression, or replace the medical care you are receiving for it.

Hany Yassin
Aazeen is a wonderful therapist. I have been suffering from sciatica pain for so many years. After 2 to 3 sessions, 95% of the pain was gone. Now she is helping me with my osteoarthritis of the hips. She has been very helpful and I don’t find the need to do a hip replacement.
Frank Krishnan
Aazeen is very skillful. My Bowen technique for pain relief especially for nerve issues and sciatica problem. Strongly recommended Aazeen of My Bowen.
Aazeen very professional also. She has helped to cure my sciatica problem. After that I only go back to her for maintenance.
Audrey Lee
I was diagnosed with sciatica in May 2025, and I started my therapy at My Bowen Therapy a few months later. After about 4 sessions without much improvement, I wanted to give up. My therapist Ala is very patient with me and encouraged me to give it another few sessions. Luckily I listened to her because my condition improved tremendously after 2 more sessions. Now I can go back to the gym for my regular exercises – cycling and swimming. The frequency and intensity of the pain have reduced by about 90%. Thank you, Ala, for your patience, support and encouragement.
Angela Liew
From knee pain to being hospitalized due to severe lower back pain. After 2 months of physio with the hospital, I started my lower back pain recovery with Bowen 3 weeks ago. Lower back pain improves tremendously and currently able to walk normally. Previously unable to straighten my left leg due to sciatica – lower back until my calf. I am now able to wash dishes and clean my porch. I just have to remember to take a break in between. Thank You Therapist Ala for your help and kind advice.

Why Do We Take a Full Body Assessment Before Therapy Starts?
Arthritis is a broad term for a number of conditions that affect the joints and can cause pain, stiffness, swelling or reduced movement. Symptoms are often felt in the hands, fingers, wrists, knees, hips, shoulders, neck or spine, and may vary from day to day.
Rather than a single condition, arthritis describes a group of conditions that can affect people very differently. Because joint pain and stiffness may occur for a number of reasons, understanding what you’re experiencing and having a thorough assessment are important first steps in deciding the most appropriate course of action, alongside your existing medical care.
Looking Beyond the Symptoms
Understanding Fascia
Empowering You Through Understanding
Looking Beyond the Symptoms
Joint pain is rarely felt in isolation. When one joint is uncomfortable or stiff, the surrounding muscles and soft tissues often adapt, and nearby areas may begin to work differently to compensate. We assess how these areas influence movement and overall function. This whole-body perspective helps us build a more complete understanding of your individual needs.
Understanding Fascia
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and connects muscles, joints and other structures throughout the body. Because it is continuous, tension held in one area can influence comfort and movement elsewhere. Bowen Therapy works gently over muscles, fascia and other soft tissues rather than on the affected joint alone.
Empowering You Through Understanding
We take the time to explain what we find during your assessment and what it may mean for your movement day to day. Understanding how your body is working, and what tends to ease or aggravate your symptoms, helps you feel more confident in your care and in the decisions you make alongside your medical team.

Understanding Possible Causes of Arthritis & Joint Pain
Joint pain and stiffness can also occur for reasons other than arthritis, including previous injury, changes in movement, and strain on the surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
People come to us for arthritis treatment in Kuala Lumpur with very different histories. Two people with the same diagnosis may move differently, compensate differently, and experience their symptoms differently, which is why we assess before deciding on an approach rather than working from the diagnosis alone.
Joint pain or aching
Joint stiffness, particularly after rest
Reduced mobility or range of movement
Discomfort during everyday activities
Muscle tension around affected joints
Difficulty moving comfortably after sitting or being inactive
Pain or stiffness affecting joints such as the hands, fingers, wrists, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, ankles or feet
Symptoms that can vary from day to day
Areas Where Arthritis & Joint Pain May Be Felt
Hands, Fingers and Thumbs
Stiffness on waking, difficulty gripping, or discomfort during tasks like writing and opening jars. Your assessment may include the forearm, elbow and shoulder, since these work together.
Wrists
Wrist stiffness can affect lifting, carrying, computer work and driving. Because the wrist sits between the hand and forearm, tension in the surrounding soft tissues can influence how comfortably it moves.
Shoulders
Discomfort here can affect reaching, dressing and sleeping position. Where shoulder movement changes over time, tension can develop in the neck and upper back as the body adapts.
Neck and Spine
Joint pain and stiffness can influence posture, head movement and comfort during prolonged sitting or driving. Your assessment may consider the neck alongside the shoulders and upper back.
Lower Back
Stiffness here can affect standing, bending, sitting for long periods and getting comfortable at night. Movement in the lower back is closely related to the hips and pelvis.
Hips
Hip discomfort can affect walking, stairs, sitting for long periods and sleeping comfortably. Because the hips carry load during most movement, changes here can lead to tension in the lower back or knee.
Knees
Knee pain and stiffness can affect walking, stairs, kneeling and getting up from a chair. The knee is influenced by movement at both the hip and the ankle.
Ankles and Feet
Discomfort here can affect walking distance, footwear choice and balance. Changes in how you walk can, over time, lead to tension in the calf, knee or hip.
Hands, Fingers and Thumbs
Stiffness on waking, difficulty gripping, or discomfort during tasks like writing and opening jars. Your assessment may include the forearm, elbow and shoulder, since these work together.

How We Assess Your Arthritis & Joint Pain treatment
Where you feel joint pain is not always where your assessment begins. Joints don’t work in isolation. When one becomes stiff or uncomfortable, the body often adapts by moving differently, and tension can develop at a distance from the original site. Taking time to look at the whole picture helps your therapist understand how your body is moving before deciding whether Bowen Therapy may be appropriate for you.
We Listen
We take the time to understand your symptoms, concerns, relevant health history, previous injuries and goals.
We Observe
We observe your posture and movement to build a clearer picture of your individual needs.
We Assess
We assess factors that may be relevant to your symptoms, including movement patterns, muscle tension and scar tissue where appropriate.
We Explain
We explain our findings in clear, straightforward language and answer any questions you may have.
We Create Your Support Plan
Based on your assessment, we develop a personalised support plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
We Begin Your Care
If appropriate, your first Bowen Therapy session usually begins during the same appointment.
The My Bowen Therapy Approach
At My Bowen Therapy, Bowen Therapy forms part of our assessment-led approach rather than being delivered as a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to better understand your symptoms, posture, movement and individual needs before tailoring your care.
Assessment First
Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to help us understand your symptoms, movement and individual circumstances before planning your session.
Tailored to You
No two people experience symptoms in exactly the same way. Every session is tailored to your individual needs, goals and assessment findings.
Gentle & Precise
Your therapist uses precise Bowen Therapy techniques over muscles, fascia and other soft tissues, adapting each session to how your body responds.
Whole-Body Thinking
Rather than focusing only on where symptoms are felt, we consider how different areas of the body may be working together to support comfortable movement.
What to Expect During Your My Bowen Therapy Session
Tailored to You
Every session is tailored to your individual needs based on your assessment and how your body responds.
Remain Fully Clothed
Wear comfortable clothing that allows your therapist to assess and work effectively. Shorts, leggings, tracksuit bottoms or loose-fitting sportswear are ideal.
Gentle Hands-On Treatment
Your therapist uses gentle Bowen Therapy movements while continuing to observe your body’s response throughout the session.
Comfort Comes First
Most people find Bowen Therapy relaxing. Treatment is always adapted to your comfort levels, and any tenderness is usually temporary.
Before You Leave
Your therapist explains their findings, discusses the next steps and, where appropriate, provides simple exercises or practical advice to support your progress between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bowen Therapy does not treat or cure arthritis itself. Our approach focuses on associated joint pain, stiffness, muscular and fascial tension, and supporting more comfortable movement.
We regularly see clients living with rheumatoid arthritis who come to us for support with associated pain, stiffness, and movement difficulties. Bowen Therapy does not treat the underlying autoimmune condition or replace appropriate medical care.
For people with osteoarthritis, Bowen Therapy may help with associated muscular and fascial tension, stiffness and movement. Bowen Therapy does not treat the underlying osteoarthritis itself.
Clients come to us with discomfort affecting areas including the hands, fingers, wrists, shoulders, back, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Joint pain can have many causes, so our approach is based on your individual symptoms and assessment.
We have two Kuala Lumpur locations, Damansara (TTDI) and KLCC. Both offer a free initial consultation. Our focus is on the joint pain, stiffness and muscular tension that can accompany arthritis, alongside the medical care you are already receiving for the condition itself.
This varies depending on your individual physical presentation, how long you have been experiencing your symptoms, and how you respond to treatment.
Your therapist will discuss their recommendations with you after your assessment rather than prescribing the same number of sessions for everyone.
