I have been having Bowen Therapy from Lucy Bradley for over ten years. She is an excellent practitioner and makes herself aware of my symptoms at every session. She is a very calm person which helps me to relax and allows the therapy to have a good effect.
Mostly she treated my longstanding asthma and general stiffness. More recently I have been much more unwell and after all the hospital therapy, Lucy’s Bowen is starting to get me together again.
In a ‘head and neck’ context, I had melanoma removed from my cheek, which left me with significant facial swelling, especially my lower eye lid. Her work on my mouth and jaw has made a good change and I can now fully open my eye. The importance of this is that I wear contact lenses.

As a Physiotherapist I believe in the beneficial effects of massage and have referred many of my patients to Lucy for her skilled “hands on” treatment.
As a client of Lucy’s myself I know the therapeutic results of her work have helped me greatly and I find her remedial massage invaluable in dealing with muscle tension and the after effects of injury or overuse through sport
Lucy’s professional approach and caring manner along with her wide skill base are the reasons that I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I have been seeing Lucy regularly for treatment since July 2021. I have EDS (hypermobility) which causes subluxations, dislocations vertigo and constant pain, affecting my whole body. My Jaw is
extremely unstable and requires support from an external splint as well as needing regular treatment. Lucy has tailored TMJ and sphenoid treatment for me, which involves working all of the
trigger points in the muscles of the joint as well as working the tissues surrounding the bones including the sphenoid. Having this treatment alleviates the constant pain and vertigo I suffer as well
as stabilising my jaw and body. The treatment enables me to function and live my life.
Lucy is extremely kind caring and professional and I highly recommend her.
I suffer with scoliosis and the TMJ therapy certainly helped with my back pain
I suffered from muscle seizure behind the knee for at least 8 months. Due to the nature of my work (painter & decorator) I have to kneel constantly and have no time to rest the damaged muscle.
After recommendation to try the Bowen Technique I had one Bowen treatment with Lucy and I was completely amazed at the amount of discomfort that was relieved, I would estimate it to be around 80% less.
I cannot praise Lucy, Bowen and TMJ therapy enough! After 15 years of problems with my shoulder I am pain free and no longer have pain killers as a daily routine! I was told about Lucy and Bowen/TMJ and as it is totally non-intrusive, I thought what did I have to lose? It couldn’t make it any worse after all. After one treatment it made a huge difference and after my 4 th it was like a new me. I cannot recommend it enough; it has literally changed my life. I would tell anyone to try it, at the very least you’ll come out relaxed after an hour’s peace and at best you’ll end up pain free.
Lucy Thankyou sooooo much! Bowen and TMJ therapy have eased my pain allowing me to enjoy my life to live pain free! You are magical!
I have total confidence in Lucy Bradley whose range of expertise over the last 10 years has been invaluable to my over all health. Lucy has seen me through x 2 hip replacements, a foot operation and major skeletal complications that have required a variety of surgery. Through Bowen and her fastidious records, Lucy has been able to provide tailor made treatments, and extended with her more recent approach following studying jaw work for a more intense results. I am forever grateful for her professionalism and expertise in understanding the body and the patient who also needs reassuring and advice. The follow up to the treatments, checking in and advising has served me well and I will continue to have treatments as a good MOT for the body and recommend her to friends and colleagues.
After struggling with TMJ issues that left me in constant discomfort and unable to open or close my jaw properly, I was fortunate enough to find Lucy Bradley. From the very first session, her expert knowledge, skill, and genuinely caring approach put me at ease.
She not only relieved my pain but completely resolved my symptoms—something I didn’t think was possible without more invasive treatment. Thanks to her, I’m now pain-free and have full movement in my jaw again within only two sessions.
I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone suffering from TMJ or similar issues. She truly is an angel in her work.
Having a physical job & being a runner I suffer with leg & back muscular problems. I have been visiting Lucy regularly for treatment for a number of years & always feel transformed after a massage. Lucy’s help, advice, knowledge & professional approach are second to none & I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone in an instant.
I have had many different treatments for my back and sciatic pains but what really worked for me has been Bowen. I was a bit sceptical originally as it consists of very gentle movements, however after a couple of days I started feeling better until the pain disappeared completely.
I first visited Lucy for treatment to my coccyx (having slipped on ice 18 months previously). When she started her Bowen course she asked me if I would like to be a case study, as Bowen had some treatments specifically for the coccyx. After 3 treatments I was very much better, and the pain I had had when lying on my back for years completely disappeared with the general 2nd treatment – even though I hadn’t mentioned it. I have since had further treatment and my coccyx continues to improve. Bowen seems very strange compared to other systems, but it most definitely works and I would certainly recommend you to give it a go with Lucy.
I have suffered with my back for over 20 years and no one was able to help me until I had a treatment with Lucy. She worked on my coccyx and my jaw and for the first time my pain has been relieved.
I am now able to manage my pain with regular treatments every 2-3 months. I highly recommend Lucy and her treatments.
Lucy puts you at ease as soon as you arrive, she is a welcoming person who radiates a genuine warmth. I have been meeting with Lucy since mid 2023 to support my TMJ type symptoms. Lucy has a wealth of knowledge of several therapeutic practices, her focused and personalised treatment has made a huge difference to my well-being. Lucy has shared several self-help practices with me that have sustained my well-being and reduced my symptoms in between sessions. I travel some distance to meet with Lucy, however this is a small inconvenience for such a positive outcome.
I came to see Lucy after suffering a whole year with terrible knee pain following a fall. The pain was like tooth ache in the knee and at night I was being woken with pain regularly. I had already had physiotherapy which had not helped at all. After 2 Bowen sessions I was completely pain free at night. Lucy also identified other areas that were not right and now I am not clenching my teeth at night and my body is working as it should. Can’t recommend Lucy highly enough.
Following your work, the improvement in the swelling of my foot was nothing less than instant and amazing! Literally, from the day after I saw you and since, the hugely uncomfortable, ‘it’s about to burst’ feeling that I’d had every evening was gone – I can’t tell you what a relief it is!
A couple of days after I saw you I had the next appointment with the physio at Cumberland Centre – I see him in the early morning when the ankle’s usually at it’s best, but even so the very first thing he said was how much less puffy it looked, and was hugely impressed (I name-dropped like mad!) He was also very approving of the exercises you’d recommended, particularly the one standing backwards on the stairs…
Now, a couple of weeks later, the really sharp, wince-making pains have gone too – it all still feels a bit achy and fragile but I’m walking more or less normally, can manage stairs properly and haven’t needed any pain relief at all the last few days. Yippee!
So, VERY many thanks, Lucy – your skill really did boost the healing process in a big way, and I’m delighted to find myself feeling so much better so much earlier than I expected.
I have been a client of Lucy’s for many years mostly for neck/lower back problems. However after a particularly sore shoulder episode I was very surprised during my visit to her to find that my last dental appointment could have been the culprit.
Many years of being prescribed the drug Pregabalin has made my teeth very sensitive so dental visits means I get very tense. Having told Lucy that a week before I had been in the dental chair she explained to me about TMJ issues and felt that this might be my problem. She worked her magic and very quickly after her treatment there was a vast improvement, I went from unable to sleep on the affected side to being pain free. Now if I know I’m going to have dental work I book Lucy for the week after and each time she has managed to relieve the post dental shoulder pain.
I had no idea this could be a thing but the results speak for themselves. Lucy is a very highly skilled practitioner and I definitely recommend her for this type of treatment option.
I consulted Lucy for help with headaches and discomfort around my jaw area. Having seen her for Bowen previously, I knew she would be able to offer me a great level of care. Her TMJ release
addresses all the areas I needed help with and after the first session things improved considerably. By the time I had my second session I was barely having any discomfort and after that it completely resolved. I continue with monthly care to prevent it from recurring. Lucy is a highly skilled practitioner and uses very gentle techniques to guide the body into a more comfortable state. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I think Lucy is brilliant and she has done me the world of good. I really don’t think I would be so well without having met her!
Thank you, Lucy, for providing excellent care for my mother after her chemotherapy. Your technique not only alleviated discomfort of not being able to sit, but also improved her overall well-being. Thank you for bringing hope and healing during a challenging time.
After my first session with Lucy I was able to close my jaw without actively sliding it backward first. I had not been able to do this for some time, maybe years. My mouth opened straight, not to one side and the tension was much reduced. I would highly recommend Lucy for any TMJ issues. After my second session I was standing straighter and feeling great, even began dreaming again.
For the most part of this year (2013) I have had the most excruciating itchy arms, no where else on my body just my arms. The itch became worse at night so I was having to deal with sleep deprivation. I tried everything from eliminating favourite body products to changing my diet. Researching the internet showed there is a known symptom and the recommended solution is steroid cream. I would rather not use medication and prefer complimentary medicine. I decided to have a Bowen treatment because I know this treatment not only tackles physical problems it also helps the bodies immune and nervous system to rebalance. I had one Bowen treatment from Lucy and my symptoms have completely gone. It eased after the treatment and gradually cleared completely.
