Personal Profile
Paula Esson studied Sport Science at Northumbria University specialising in exercise physiology and sports performance and has coached at a National level for England Basketball.
As head of sport science for Gateshead College the effects of sports injuries on players and students formed a main focus of attention in terms of treatment and prevention. It was personal injury to a shoulder that brought Paula to the Bowen Technique. Intrigued by the marked changes in pain, function and well-being, developed enough conviction to train as a practitioner.
Qualifying in April 1999, the demand for the technique from sports performers and the general public soon saw a change in career. Paula co-ordinated a very busy clinic, with two associates receiving client referrals directly from physiotherapists and GPs before establishing The NIHP.
A keen link to sports performance still exists with a personal desire to take the Bowen Technique into the Professional Sports arena as the primary care for injury prevention and treatment. As an experienced coach, teacher and therapist, Paula believes that bringing balance to the individual, physically, emotionally and spiritually contributes to health and ultimately well-being and feels The Bowen Technique provides the trigger to achieve this in a natural and non-intrusive format.
