Feeling stuck with pain, stress, tension or reduced mobility?

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, improving wellbeing or wanting practical hands-on skills, I offer gentle, personalised support to help you feel more comfortable in your body again.

Roland is extremely professional and knowledgeable about a range of different conditions. After just three treatments, my symptoms have improved and I am less reliant on pain relief. I’d definitely recommend Roland and the Bowen Technique.
Thank you!

Common Questions

  • In the first session I will do a full assessment to find out where you are now and where you would like to get to. This will include an assessment of posture, health goals, flexibility, strength, diet, lifestyle and stress levels. The first session will also include the first treatment/session.

  • Bowen Therapy is generally not painful. The therapy involves gentle, precise moves over specific points of the body using fingers and thumbs, which stimulate nerve pathways and help reset muscles and fascia. It does not involve forceful manipulation or deep pressure. 

    While the Bowen session is not painful people can experience tenderness, soreness, fatigue in the following days after the treatment while the body adjusts. This will usually settle down after a few days.

  • This can vary depending on your goals. For Bowen therapy usually 2-5 session is enough for most issues. Coaching, training and advice can continue as long as is required.

  • I offer Bowen Therapy in Kings Heath/Stirchley, Birmingham, with Mobile appointments available within 10 miles of Moseley.

  • Yes. These can include advice, movements, assessments, health and wellbeing coaching as well as sharing some self manipulation techniques.

  • Bowen Therapy is not a massage. It uses a unique set of techniques that focus on the body's nervous system and fascial tissue. It does not involve oils or require undressing. 

  • Bowen Therapists do not diagnose, as they are not medical professionals. However, they can often provide insights into what may be causing the problem. 

  • Sessions can be done through light clothing so undressing is completely optional and your choice.

Roland is a professional therapist who treats his clients as individuals and understands each one’s problem. He spent time finding out what caused my back pain and general stiffness, and improved me within a couple of sessions. I will definitely come back to him to keep my posture healthy.
