The Bowen Technique
Did you know the body is capable of healing itself?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle technique that addresses the whole body, working on many levels including the physical, chemical, emotional and psychological well-being.
Bowen is based on the principle that the body has an innate blueprint for health, and when in a state of balance, these powerful self-regulating mechanisms can be accessed.
The Bowen Technique is a truly holistic approach to healthcare.
How does it work?
During a Bowen treatment, the body re-orients to a memory of a previously healthy state or an original blueprint of health.
The brain helps the body prioritize which type of healing it requires, whether a fine tuning of the emotions is to take place, or healing on a physical level, creating a balanced state of well being and lessening of presenting symptoms and pain reduction.
Bowen stimulates the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system, causing the body to recognize issues in the body that are causing pain or inflammation, then moves to correct them, returning back to a normal healthy state.
What happens in a Bowen treatment?
The practitioner makes gentle rolling moves on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves at key structural points in the body that the brain uses as natural reference points to determine its posture.In contrast to other hands-on modalities, where the practitioner imposes correction on the client through manipulation, the Bowen Technique facilitates the activation of body's amazing ability to heal itself, with minimal intervention.
Clients often find Bowen when they have 'tried everything else' without lasting results. Bowen Therapy could be your answer to boost the speed of your rehabilitation and improve your quality of life.
Timing: A typical Bowen Treatment generally lasts from 20 to 45 minutes. To ensure you get what you need, please allow up to 60 minutes for your appointment.
Frequency: Short term (acute) problems may be resolved in one to three treatments. Long standing (chronic) conditions often require more treatments. For most conditions we recommend approximately 3 - 4 sessions to feel the lasting benefits from Bowen. Follow up or maintenance treatments may also be recommended.
