Bowen Therapy specialises in restoring healthy circulation in the body by removing the ‘kinks in the hose’.

Working out what’s wrong

Have you ever been watering a garden, given another tug on the hose to go a bit further, and the flow has slowed to a dribble? Going back, you find that there is a kink in the hose, which is stopping the flow of water. Until you unfold that kink, the water will not flow again.

Misalignments in our bodies can be like kinks in the hose, stopping the flow around our bodies of so many vital things. Bowen therapy addresses the misalignments, thus restoring good circulation.

The importance of circulation

Our bodies are complex, and many wonderful things flow around constantly to keep us healthy and active. For example, our blood, powered by the heart, beats about 100,000 times a day, pumping five or six quarts of blood every minute. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to our bodies’ tissues, and also carries away waste products. Lymph returns proteins to the bloodstream, and transports bacteria to the lymph nodes for destruction. It also transports fats to the bloodstream. Total lymph flow is about four to five litres per day, and it has been estimated that without lymph flow, an average resting person would die within 24 hours.¹

It’s important to keep the circulation flowing!

Flowing freely

Just the regular day-to-day activities you do is enough to put wear and tear and tension on your body, and create misalignments that, left uncorrected, eventually make you feel worn and ‘not quite right’. Add some mishaps, and life begins to feel even harder.

Bowen therapy can bring your body back to optimal alignment, reversing muscular imbalances, unblocking channels and allowing free circulation throughout your body. You will feel revitalised, alert and centred once again.
