Bowen Therapy
What is Bowen
Therapy?
Bowen is a dynamic, remedial body technique, that is
extremely gentle and very relaxing. It empowers the body’s own healing resources
achieving balance and harmony, resulting in fast and lasting relief from pain
and discomfort.
Bowen is an all embracing vibrational energy therapy, safe to use on anyone,
newborns to the elderly, with any condition from sports injuries to chronic or
organic complaints.
A treatment comprises sequences of small gentle moves, each at a specific site
on the body. There is not forceful manipulation, just a light cross-fibre
manoeuvring of a muscle, tendon or ligament, pleasant to the recipient. However,
fascia also plays an important role in this technique.
The precise location of the Bowen moves correlate markedly with the latest
research into the meridian energy system, acu-points and myofascial trigger
point therapy.
Observation also suggests the lymphatic system is greatly affected by this
technique.
This gentle and effective modality brings substantial relief frequently after
the first session, and generally clients only need two or three treatments,
usually one week apart. Treatments can be done through clothing when preferred,
as no oils are used. Treatment sessions can last from 10 to 50 minutes.
Bowen facilitates the balancing of a broad range of conditions. It can address
any problem (with medical supervision where appropriate) as the treatment is
holistic. Bowen produces an integrated body response, and consequently improves
circulation, lymphatic and venous draining, assimilation of nutrients and
elimination of toxins, joint mobility, posture, clearance of dysfunctional
debris, normalization of cellular physiology and tissue integrity.
