Named for Tom Bowen, the Australian practitioner who developed the healing technique in the 1950’s, Bowen Therapy is a remarkable hands-on healing modality which uses very subtle moves performed over muscles and tendons.
These moves transmit messages deep into the body, initiating corrections and re-alignments. Specifically addressing the fascia which surrounds every muscle in the body, Bowen Therapy is gentle, non-forceful, and profoundly relaxing. Bowen Therapy is now being taught and practiced by thousands of practitioners world-wide, bringing welcome healing and relief to many. As the last 50 years of experience and testimony by thousands of clients has proven, Bowen Therapy is very effective for a wide range of conditions.
Just some of the conditions which have been helped by Bowen Therapy include:
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- RSI, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
- Knee, ankle and foot problems
- Headaches – Migraines, tension, cluster, etc
- Digestive problems
- Neck & Shoulder pain
- Sexual dysfunction
- Menstrual & Fertility problems
- Tennis Elbow & Frozen Shoulder
Treat yourself to Bowen
A treatment session of Bowen Therapy usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. The client wears light clothing to their treatment session, and fully relaxes while the Bowen moves are done by the therapist. Treatment plans most often recommend 3 treatment sessions, which is most effective at weekly intervals. Long-term conditions understandably may need more sessions for resolution.
End pain
Many Bowen Therapy clients testify to experiencing healing from painful conditions, some of which were long-term and had proved ‘incurable’ by other means. Suitable for all ages, Bowen Therapy can end pain, improve mobility, circulation and lymphatic drainage, and stimulate the body to correct dysfunctions and restore balance throughout.
Your body ‘knows’
Because the body is such a beautifully complex structure, there are still many things we do not know. Even today, there are people everywhere living with pain that no professional has been able to name a cause for. There are still mysteries about the body and how it works, and no diagnosis or misdiagnosis is still common for many.
The beauty, and mystery, too, of Bowen Therapy is the holistic approach and effect of the Bowen moves. Your therapist may not know exactly WHY you are hurting, but your body does, and the Bowen moves release muscles and fascia, realign and reset systems throughout the whole body, and many problems can resolve as a result, even without an ‘official diagnosis’.
