When the Going Gets Touch – Have Fun!

On and off I suffer from back pain and there have been many moments this year when I have felt quite crippled purely from stiff muscles in my lower back. In the past two months I have been having Bowen therapy treatment and thankfully these problems have eased in a miraculous way.

However, over the past few days I felt a little of the stiffness creeping back. In many ways I’m not surprised as it has been a stressful time caused mainly by the vendor of my London flat changing his mind on his proposed purchase and thus scuppering my plans to buy a new house and set up home with my partner!

Apart from having another Bowen treatment I’ve also noticed that having fun eases this stiffness. Yesterday I went to the cinema and indulged in watching a chick flick. Afterwards I noticed that the stiffness in my back had disappeared.

This morning, chained to my laptop, I felt the stiffness beginning to return. Taking myself off for an extended lunch break, this time to indulge my taste buds, seemed to do the trick.

I think there is a lesson for me here. When the going gets tough, don’t forget to have fun!
