I’m finding that when I run my shoulder aches for days afterwards. I thought it was a muscle pull so I got my girl friend to massage it, although it relieves some of the pain it doesn’t actually cure it which makes me think that it may be a trapped nerve of sorts. Anyone got any ideas please or has anyone experienced anything similar?

Bowen Therapy I have yet to experience myself. I have heard some amazing things about from some very trusted sources who get amazing results with clients.

My former training partner has recently experienced it and he has gone to all kinds of physiotherapy, massage, ART, Rolphing, acupuncture, chiro, done loads of corrective stretching and conditioning, done exercises to work on the nerves (help with stretching/taunt and tight muscles etc etc)

That said the right thing for you may be massage, acupuncture, physio, ART, Rolping etc

I would look for someone that comes recommended and does more than one thing. If the only tool in your tool box is a hammer, all you see are nails.

Ultimately it comes down to results.

being an EFT Practitioner I would feel very comfortable approaching that with EFT also and highly recommend EFT.

It also depends on finding the right practitioner, regardless of the method you use.

Frankly if you have to go back for session after session after session for the same issue I have to wonder if the cuase is being treated and not just symptoms.

Someone who can assess the body and not just work on the symptom is what I would look for.

If the shoulder hurts and you only work on the shoulder, especially if it keeps coming back, suggests to me that the etiology of the pathology (the cause of the problem) isn't being addressed.

With EFT I find this in that if you work on the issue and it goes away and then comes back, I never work on it from the same angle again. That makes no sense to me.

If your neck is out and a chiro puts it back and this happens 20 times, I htink you would get better results possibly looking at other factors of why the neck is going out.

usually a multidimentional approach brings the best results as there is very rarely only one factor.

Cheers Mark, you’ve given me loads to research and think over. Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Be curious to hear about your experiences.
