What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen technique works with the soft connective tissue, the “fascial layer of the body”, and the effects can be felt throughout.
Whilst the actual tissue beneath is directly affected, messages are also sent to the brain via the central nervous system, so the treatment is working on more than one level.
As a therapy it is quite unique and unlike any other treatment. Bowen Therapy can trigger powerful positive changes in the body afterwards.
The Therapist moves accurately over specific point locations over the body, muscles, tendons ligaments and fascia. The Therapist simply gives the body signals which allows the person receiving the treatment to start healing.
It is non-evasive but powerful, and one of the most satisfying parts of the job is listening to client's feedback on relieving pain and discomfort from their lives.
Many clients have found BOWEN THERAPY brings pain relief and balance to their bodies, both physically and emotionally, like nothing else they have tried.
Fascia and connective tissue are an integral part of us. When tension in one area of the body is released, this has a knock-on effect elsewhere - like a set of dominos being knocked over. With the release of toxins and old patterning, the moves begin to accomplish holistic balance almost immediately.
BOWEN THERAPY addresses the body as a whole unit, rather than just the presenting symptoms. It embraces the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person receiving a treatment. As fascia is thixotropic, the rolling and stretching motion of Bowen Therapy counteracts this stiffening, restores mobility and reduces pain.
Effects may also be felt in other areas of the body as equilibrium is restored, and this demonstrates the brain is able to recognise further imbalances in the body and set-up the appropriate responses to rectify them.
